Objective, Prospective Measurement of Anterior Chamber Cell Grading Using Anterior Chamber Ocular Coherence Tomography
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is routinely used in ophthalmic clinical practice. It uses
infrared light to image patient's eyes. Some patients, such as those with an inflammatory
disease called uveitis or those who have just undergone cataract surgery, have intraocular
inflammation. This intraocular inflammation commonly manifests as cells that can be seen on
routine microscopic clinical examination. However, the only currently available method to
quantify this intraocular inflammation is by manually counting on the microscopic clinical
examination. The investigators plan to use the OCT machine to image patient's eyes. The
investigators will then use the images obtained from the OCT to objectively quantify the
degree of intraocular inflammation.
