Iris Vascular Characteristics Changes in Non-Infectious Uveitis: A Wide-Field Swept-Source Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Study

Puntos clave

This research aims to evaluate iris vascular characteristics in non-infectious uveitis using advanced imaging techniques.
Utilized wide-field swept-source anterior segment optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-AS-OCTA)
Analyzed vascular area density (VAD) and vascular length density (VLD) as metrics
Correlated findings with clinical inflammatory severity indicators
VAD was significantly correlated with clinical inflammatory severity in the temporal region
Both VAD and VLD served as indicators of disease activity
Demonstrated the efficacy of SS-AS-OCTA for longitudinal monitoring of uveitis

Resumen

Wide-field SS-AS-OCTA effectively detects iris vascular changes in active NIU. While both VAD and VLD are valuable indicators of disease activity, VAD in the temporal region was significantly correlated with clinical inflammatory severity, offering a more informative imaging biomarker. These objective, non-invasive metrics support longitudinal monitoring and treatment assessment.
