Abstract

The various macular lesions secondary to choroidal vascular disorders are classified, for descriptive purposes, into five categories. The role of the choroidal vascular disorders in each of these groups is reviewed and discussed; in some conditions it is well-established, in others it is probable, while in still others it remains a possibility.
