Ocular Changes in Vitiligo Patients on Therapy

• Conditions: Vitiligo; Chorioretinitis; Chorioretinopathy

• Registration Number: NCT05335746
• Lead Sponsor: Benha University

Brief Summary

Vitiligo patients on systemic and local therapy may have some ocular adverse effects associated with the disease and its therapy.

Detailed Description

Chorioretinal changes associated with vitiligo therapy could address patients visual acuity and life style. Early detection of these changes can help these patients to evade such adverse effects.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Percentage of vessel density (VD) in superficial and deep retinal layer.	Immediately after OCT-A for each eye and at one month of follow-up.	Percentage (%) of superficial and deep vessel density changes in both groups measured by OCT-A software to asses retinal ischemia.
