Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are patients presenting with uveitis at the Cole Eye Institute.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are unable to provide informed consent or have severe corneal opacities that prevent imaging will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to investigate the feasibility of using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scans to assess anterior chamber inflammation in patients diagnosed with uveitis. By conducting a prospective case series, the study will gather data from patients presenting at the Cole Eye Institute. The focus is on evaluating the effectiveness of OCT as a diagnostic tool for monitoring inflammation in the anterior chamber of the eye.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the diagnostic capabilities for uveitis, leading to better management and treatment outcomes for patients.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is relatively novel, similar studies using OCT for other ocular conditions have shown promising results.
