Purpose

To evaluate the effect RA activity on the corneal densitometry, CC, CCT, and lens densitometry by Pentacam and compared these parameters with healthy control subjects

Setting

Case - control observational study on RA patientsi in Minia Opthalamology department

Methods

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

Results

A higher density was found in the groups 1 and 2 in the 0-2 mm and 2-6 mm radial zones of the anterior layer and the 10-12 mm zone of both the central and posterior layers with no significant difference between groups 1 and 2

Conclusion

RA patients had higher corneal densitometry than healthy subjects with no affection of RA activity on corneal densitometry
