Evaluation of Vitreolenticular Interface in Eyes with Fuchs Uveitis

To investigate the vitreo-lenticular interface (Berger space) in Fuchs uveitis (FU). This cross-sectional study included 20 FU patients (Group 1), the fellow eyes of patıents (Group 2) and 20 healthy individuals (Group 3). Berger space was detected in all, and hyperreflective spots were identified i...

Description
Summary:To investigate the vitreo-lenticular interface (Berger space) in Fuchs uveitis (FU). This cross-sectional study included 20 FU patients (Group 1), the fellow eyes of patıents (Group 2) and 20 healthy individuals (Group 3). 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, 2 nd , and 3 rd in all the values. 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.
