Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how Behçet's syndrome (BS) impacts tear osmolarity and various tear film function tests in patients compared to healthy controls.
- Results showed that patients with BS had higher tear osmolarity and OSDI scores, while tests measuring tear film stability and production (like TBUT and Schirmer's test) were significantly lower.
- There was a notable link between higher tear osmolarity and increased OSDI scores, indicating that BS can lead to damage in the tear film and ocular surface.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on choroid, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), and foveal thickness using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Methods: Fifty patients with RA and forty-one healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study. The subfoveal, perifoveal choroidal, RNFL, and foveal thicknesses were measured by spectral domain OCT.
