Abstract

Anterior segment optical coherence tomography is used to measure central corneal thickness, detect and measure corneal power and astigmatism, detect presence and depth of corneal thickness, measure anterior chamber angle, detect papillary membrane, measure iris thickness, and measure anterior chamber depth. This is a Cross sectional study to evaluate the anterior chamber inflammatory reactions in cases of uveitis using the Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography. There was a highly statistically significant narrowing of the anterior chamber angle in the mean value of the patients group than that found in the normal controlled group. There were minimal limited change between the mean values of either the central, superior, inferior, nasal or temporal corneal thickness between the two groups of study, and between the iris thickness at 1.5 mm and 3mm from the papillary border in both groups of study. There was limited statistical correlation between the intra ocular pressure and central corneal thickness in both normal and patient groups, and also between iris thickness at 1.5 mm and 3 mm from the papillary border and the anterior chamber angle in both and patient groups.
