Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.
