Background: The course of acute Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada is typically assessed qualitatively using indocyanine green angiography. Swept-source optical coherence tomography may provide a safer, non-invasive, more objective approach to follow up. In this study, we assess the clinical value of the automated measurement capabilities of swept-source tomography to measure choroidal thickness. Design: Prospective, longitudinal case-control study at a tertiary university hospital. Participants: Nine patients with acute Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (18 eyes) and 17 age-matched controls (34 eyes). Methods: Choroidal thickness (subfoveal area and ETDRS grid) was automatically measured with swept-source optical coherence tomography. Changes in thickness were compared to changes in visual acuity and indocyanine green angiography findings to check for correlations. Mai.. View More»
