PURPOSE: To measure scleral thickness in patients with and without uveal effusion syndrome using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
DESIGN: Prospective case-control study.
METHODS: UBM was used to measure scleral thickness in five subjects with uveal effusion syndrome and five matched controls. We also used MRI to measure scleral thickness in three subjects.
RESULTS: The mean thicknesses for eyes with uveal effusion syndrome versus control eyes were 0.65 +/- 0.08 mm and 0.55 +/- 0.05 mm, respectively (mean difference 0.10, P value = .13). MRI measurements of three subjects showed abnormally thick sclera but were imprecise.
CONCLUSIONS: UBM can be used to measure scleral thickness, and our results support the finding that patients with uveal effusion syndrome have abnormally thick sclera. Compared with MRI, UBM may be a more accurate and precise method of measuring scleral thickness. UBM can be a useful adjunctive test in the management of uveal effusion syndrome.
