Purpose:
To investigate the vitreo-lenticular interface (Berger space) in Fuchs uveitis (FU).
Methods:
This cross-sectional study included 20 FU patients (Group 1), the fellow eyes of patıents (Group 2) and 20 healthy individuals (Group 3).
Results:
Berger space was detected in all, and hyperreflective spots were identified in Berger spaces in 65% of FU eyes through optical coherence tomography (OCT). The measurements of Berger space the distance in central, nasal, and temporal 2 mm were 715 ± 101μ, 620 ± 66μ, and 676 ± 76μ in group 1; 370 ± 40μ, 321 ± 41μ, 297 ± 39μ in group 2 and 290 ± 37μ, 267 ± 32μ, 227 ± 28μ in group 3. There was a statistical difference between groups 1, 2nd, and 3rd in all the values.
Conclusion:
The detection of the Berger space is the crucial finding of this study. Visualizing the vitreolenticular area may reveal new insights for pathology and OCT-guided investigations.
