مستخلص: The article discusses the diagnosis and treatment of chorioretinal folds by physicians in the U.S. The pathophysiology and clinical appearance of chorioretinal folds is determined by a complete eye examination as patients complain vision loss and metamorphopsia or acquired hyperopia in asymptomatic patients. The use of imaging for unknown etiologies to rule out serious conditions like tumors and inflammation as treatment depend on the cause of the disease.
