The ocular vasculature has been the subject of detailed study in the past [2,6,7,13,16,21–24, 27–29,31,34,37–39,41,43,44,46,47], however, in several areas controversies among researchers still exist. For example, does the choroidal vasculature extend into the lamina cribrosa (LC)? What is the exact blood supply to the lamina cribrosa, the region crucial for optic disc changes, where many disorders occur? Further controversies include the choriocapillaris structure, the location of the feeding arteriole (s) and collecting venules (central position of arteriole and peripheral venules) [22,24,37–39,46], or vice versa [27,43], or the mixed distribution of these vessels changing in different areas [13], and the submacular choriocapillaris (with regard to the presence [6,39] or absence [13,23,37,38,46] of the submacular artery). |
