Abstract

Chorioretinal is a one big word often used to describe the choroid and retina together. Chorioretinal degeneration or Atrophy is a condition of the eye where both the choroid and retina are damaged or degenerated. There are many different causes of Chorioretinal degeneration. The most common cause of Chorioretinal degeneration rather than infection is myopia. Degenerative changes are common in progressive myopia. The impact of myopic retinopathy on visual impairment is important because it is often bilateral and irreversible. It is an important cause of visual impairment and can lead to blindness which may lead to reduced mental health, decreased social functioning and may forces somebody to quit their job or relationships.
