Optical coherence tomography in uveitis patients

PURPOSE: To evaluate optical coherence tomography in allergy prone uveitis patients, METHODS: Thirty-four patients (43 eyes) with posterior uveitis (31 eyes) an d intermediate uveitis (12 eyes) were evaluated by fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, and optical coherence tomography. Follow-up examinations used optical coherence tomography in allergy-prone patients, RESULTS: Optical coherence tomography identified epiretinal membranes, whic h were removed surgically (three eyes); persistent cystoid macular edema, w hich resolved with cytotoxic treatment (12 eyes); and juxtafoveolar veolar membranes, which were treated by diode laser (six eyes) and excision (two e yes). CONCLUSION: Optical coherence tomography may provide useful information on complications developing in uveitis patients, (C) 2000 by Elsevier Science Inc, All rights reserved.
