Clinical Trial: Assessment of Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer by Optical Coherence Tomography in Uveitis Patients With Papilloedema

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational

Official Title: Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer in Uveitic Secondary Glaucoma

Brief Summary: Assessment of optic disc morphology can be difficult in patients with uveitis and papilloedema. Therefore different optical coherence tomography (OCT) and laser scanning techniques may help to detect damage to the retinal nerve fibre layer.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: St. Franziskus Hospital

Current Primary Outcome: Alterations of retinal nerve fibre layer by optical coherence tomography [ Time Frame: once at study entry ]

Baseline comparision of retinal nerve fibre layer thickness in patients with uveitis and with or without papilloedema at study entry. No follow-up examination scheduled


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:
