==History==
The choroid was first described by [[Democritus]] (c. 460 – c. 370 [[BCE]]) around 400 BCE, calling it the "chitoon
malista somphos" (more spongy tunic [than the [[sclera]]]).<ref name = Dolz-Marco2017>Dolz-Marco, R., Gallego-Pinazo, R., Dansingani, K. K., & Yannuzzi, L. A. (2017). The history of the choroid.

About 100 years later, [[Herophilos]] (c. 335 – 280 BCE) also described the choroid from his dissections on eyes of [[cadaver]]s.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Staden |first=Heinrich von |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rGhlIfJZkVoC |title=Herophilus: The Art of Medicine in Early Alexandria: Edition, Translation and Essays |date=1989 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-0-521-23646-1 |language=en}}</ref><ref>Reverón, R.
