NCT ID NCT01746537
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a special eye scan (OCT) can accurately measure inflammation inside the eye for people with uveitis. Researchers will scan the eyes of 1500 patients and compare the results to standard exams. The goal is to find a faster, painless way to track disease activity without invasive procedures.
