The corneo-scleral junction assessed with optical coherence tomography.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate corneo-scleral junction (CSJ) using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and describe the pattern of cornea and sclera interfusion based on tissue reflectivity.

Methods

This prospective observational study enrolled candidates for vision correction. Eyes with previous ocular surgery or irregular corneas were excluded. Temporal and nasal CSJ width and reflectivity patterns were assessed with AS-OCT horizontal scans. Correlations between manual and automated variables and multivariate linear regression analyses with age and spherical equivalent were performed.

Results

101 right eyes were analysed. Temporal CSJ was wider (median 1.62; 1.13 to 2.22 mm) compared to the nasal side (median 1.18; 0.73 to 1.80 mm) (p<.0001). The temporal CS
