Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography (AS-OCT) Visualization of Anterior Vitritis
Abstract
The clinical grading of vitreous haze presents some limitations such as subjectivity and intra-grader variability. On the other hand the proposed OCT-based methods only explore the posterior part of the vitreous. Here we describe the inflammatory changes affecting the anterior vitreous imaged by Anterior Segment Optical Coherence, Tomography (AS-OCT) from patients affected by uveitis. The AS-OCT (Anterion, Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) detected vitreous sheets, vitreous lacunae, and formations resembling inflammatory cells, providing an objective characterization of the inflammatory changes in the anterior vitreous as well as their relationships with the other ocular structures.
Keywords: Anterior segment optical coherence tomography; Optical coherence tomography; biomarkers; uveitis; vitreitis.
