Abstract

Purpose: To compare the choroidal thickness (CT) of the affected eyes with the contralateral eyes in the active period and in the remission period in Posner-Schlossman syndrome (PSS) using EDI-OCT.

Patients And Methods: This prospective longitudinal study included 15 patients with PSS and 15 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects. All subjects underwent complete ophthalmologic examinations, and EDI-OCT was conducted to measure macular CT (mCT) at the subfoveal locations and at 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mm superior, inferior, nasal and temporal to the fovea. The mean measurements at each location were used for analysis. Linear regression analysis was performed to analyse the correlation between the choroidal thickness and IOP, and the correlation between the choroidal thickness and episode time.

Results: The mean mCT was significantly thinner in affected eyes than in contralateral eyes in the acute phase (p = 0.010) but were not different in the remission phase (p = 0.404). The mean mCT was significantly increased in the remission phase compared to that in the acute phase in the affected eyes (p = 0.000). The mCT of healthy subjects was significantly thicker than in the affected eyes (p = 0.020) and similar to the fellow eyes of PSS patients (p = 0.357) in the acute phase. Linear regression analyses show negative correlations between the mCT changes and IOP changes in the affected eyes compared to those in the fellow eyes in the acute period (R = 0.396, p = 0.033) and between the mCT changes and IOP changes from the acute period to the remission period in the affected eyes (R = 0.372, p = 0.027). Linear regression analyses show positive correlations (age- and sex-matched) between the CT changes and episode time from the affected eyes to the fellow eyes in the acute period (R = 0.492, p = 0.012).

Conclusions: The mCT values of the PSS-affected eyes were significantly thinner than those of the fellow eyes in the acute phase and in the remission phase, and this change was correlated with IOP reduction and episode time.
