Background:
To investigate the subfoveal retinal and choroidal thickness in patients with unilateral Fuchs Uveitis Syndrome (FUS).
Methods:
This comparative contralateral study was performed in affected eyes with FUS versus fellow eyes. For each eye parameters such as subfoveal choroidal thickness (SCT), subfoveal choriocapillary thickness (SCCT), central macular thickness (CMT), and central macular volume (CMV) were measured; then the measured values of affected and fellow unaffected eye were compared.
Results:
Thirty-seven patients (74 eyes) including 19 females (51.4%) with a mean age of 36.9 ± 7.6 years were enrolled. The mean SCT was lower in the affected eyes (344.51 ± 91.67) than in the fellow (375.59 ± 87.33) with adjusting for duration of disease and axial lengths (P < 0.001). The mean SCCT, CMT, and CMV were higher in eyes with FUS than in fellow eyes (P < 0.05).
Conclusions:
The result of our study demonstrated that affected eyes in patients with FUS tend to have thinner SCT and thicker SCCT and CMT compared to uninvolved fellow eyes.
