Pentacam Study of the Cornea in RA Patients

RA - Rheumatoid Arthritis Clinical Trial

Official title: Pentacam Study of Rheumatoid Arthritis Activity on Corneal Densitometry, Corneal Curvature, Corneal Thickness and Lens Densitometry.

Status Enrolling by invitation

Clinical Trial Summary

To evaluate the effect of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) activity on the corneal densitometry, corneal curvature (CC), central corneal thickness (CCT), and lens densitometry by Pentacam and compared these parameters with those of age-matched healthy control subjects

Clinical Trial Description

Case - control observational study on RA patients which divided into 2 groups, each group 120 eyes of 60 patients, group 1 of RA in the remission state and group 2 of RA in the active state. Group 3 of 120 eyes of healthy controls. Pentacam was used to measure corneal densitometry, CC, CCT, and lens densitometry. The cornea was divided into 4 concentric zones (0-2, 2-6, 6-10, and 10-12) and anterior, central, and posterior layers according to the depth ;
