Evaluation of Ocular Complications by Using Optical Coherence Tomography in Children With Sickle Cell Disease Eye Findings in Children With Sickle Cell Disease.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in pediatric patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) and healthy individuals and to investigate associations between these data and the patients' systemic findings.

Materials And Methods: The study included 108 eyes of 54 patients with SCD with no visual symptoms and a control group consisting of 110 eyes of 55 healthy subjects with no systemic or ocular pathology. After best-corrected visual acuity assessment, the study participants underwent a complete ophthalmologic examination including intraocular pressure.
