Assessment of Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer by Optical Coherence Tomography in Uveitis Patients With Papilloedema

St. Franziskus Hospital50 enrolled

Overview

Assessment of optic disc morphology can be difficult in patients with uveitis and papilloedema. Therefore different optical coherence tomography (OCT) and laser scanning techniques may help to detect damage to the retinal nerve fibre layer.
