Purpose: To determine whether the choroidal folds in patients with Vogt--Koyanagi--Harada disease can be detected by retromode of a scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) with infrared laser light source. Methods: The authors examined two patients with Vogt--Koyanagi--Harada disease at the acute stage by retromode imaging scanning laser ophthalmoscopy with an infrared laser before and after steroid treatment. Results: The retromode imaging by scanning laser ophthalmoscopy clearly and noninvasively delineated the choroidal folds in both cases. The folds disappeared after steroid treatment and reappeared with recurrences of uveitis. Conclusion: The retromode imaging by scanning laser ophthalmoscopy can detect the choroidal folds and should be useful for detecting and monitoring the choroidal folds in Vogt--Koyanagi--Harada disease.
