Abstract
The study was a prospective observational comparative study, encompassing 30 eyes of biopsy-proven OCP patients, 30 eyes of chronic trachoma patients, and 30 eyes of normal individuals. Detailed histories regarding autoimmune diseases, eye trauma, eyelid surgery, and topical eyeDROP usage were collected from all participants. Each patient underwent a comprehensive eye examination, including assessment of the lid margin, tarsal and bulbar conjunctiva, and cornea using a slit lamp. Photographic documentation of the findings was performed. Additionally, all patients underwent evaluation via horizontal line scan in the lower bulbar conjunctiva using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). The qualitative findings obtained from AS-OCT scans were transformed into quantitative data using the ImageJ software program. This allowed for precise measurements and analysis of various parameters, enabling a more objective assessment of the observed clinical features. By utilizing ImageJ, the researchers could quantify characteristics such presence of sub-epithelial changes, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of their study findings.
