Official Title: Retinal Optical Coherence Tomography and Multifocal Electroretinogram; Establishing Normal Ranges Related to Age and Reproductive Factors; With the Use of Anti-inflammatory Medications;In Uncomplicate
Brief Summary:
Retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an established technology which enables a detailed cross-sectional visualization of the retinal micro-anatomy, and an objective measurement of its thickness in-vivo. Multifocal electroretinogram (MfERG) measures function of the central retina. Both technologies are relatively new and they provide complimentary to each other information on retinal anatomy and function.
The aims of this study is to establish normal ranges for OCT and mfERG measurements related to age, gender and reproductive factors such as parity and the use of contraception in Norwegians; to assess the presumably healthy central retina with the use of anti-inflammatory medication with relation to age and sex ; to study the frequency and extent of retinal thickening and change in retinal function in patients with anterior uveitis not complicated with macular edema; to assess whether the presence of the HLA-B27 haplotype or uveitis recidive affects macular thickening/function in uveitis.
