Nationwide study reports increased choroidal nevi prevalence with age, suggesting risk factors need monitoring.
The prevalence of choroidal nevi increased throughout the first 5 decades of life. Most nevi were small and lacked risk factors for malignant transformation. This indicates that the emergence of a choroidal nevus can be expected to occur by the age of 50. If supported by longitudinal studies, these findings could inform risk-based surveillance strategies to optimize resource allocation.
