Sattler's layer is one of five (or six[lower-alpha 1]) layers of medium-diameter blood vessels of the choroid, and a layer of the eye. It is situated between the Bruch's membrane, choriocapillaris and Haller's layer below, and the suprachoroidea above, respectively.[1]

Several papers have shown the relationship between the thickness of the choroidal, Sattler's and Haller's layer in healthy individuals and in people with age-related macular degeneration (AMA).[2][3] The studies showed significant reduction of layer thickness in relation to the progression of AMD, which may be important in the understanding of choroidopathy in the pathophysiology of AMD.[3]

Notes

  1. Some authors consider the vascular region of the choroid as being two separate layers, namely the Sattler's and Haller's layers, and some consider the lamina fusca as being either of scleral or choroidal origin.
