Summary

The main purpose of this study is to describe the optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in eyes with scleral inflammation and to differentiate cases with anterior scleritis from those with episcleritis and normal controls.

Detailed description

A total of 40 eyes will be included. 20 eyes with scleral inflammation and 20 eyes from healthy subjects as controls. Each patient will undergo complete ophthalmic and medical examination. Laboratory studies will performed whenever indicated. Optical coherence tomography B-scans of the sclera in the perilimbal area will done for all cases.
