简要总结
The main purpose of this study is to describe the optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in eyes with scleral inflammation and to differentiate cases with anterior scleritis from those with episcleritis and normal controls.
详细描述
A total of 40 eyes will be included. 20 eyes with scleral inflammation and 20 eyes from healthy subjects as controls. Each patient will undergo complete ophthalmic and medical examination.
