From the literature review, there was only on study of ocular changes in twin pregnancies. Alim et al evaluated the choroidal and retinal thickness in singleton versus twin pregnancies. They included 20 single and 20 twin pregnant women in their 3rd trimester with 20-age-matched healthy non-pregnant women as a control group. They found that there was an increase in choroidal thickness in the 3rd trimester of pregnancies and it was prominent in twin pregnancies. There was a statistically significant difference in choroidal thickness between pregnant and non-pregnant women, but not significant difference between singleton and twin pregnancies. The mean retinal nerve fiber layer thickness was significantly higher in the twin pregnancy group than in the singleton pregnancy group. However, no study of retinal vascular density in twin pregnancies has been published before.
