To evaluate the high-speed anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) grading of AS inflammation in patients with ocular inflammation.A retrospective consecutive case series study. Patients clinically visible at least one eye underwent AS-OCT (Visante; Zeiss Meditec) three to eight line scans per eye, performed by a trained masked examiner. The images were reviewed for hyperreflective spots, noise, and artifact, these correlated clinical examination.Seventy-eight eyes 41 imaged. Forty-seven had chamber cells on examination, 68 spots AS-OCT. There was significant correlation (Spearman r = 0.7274) between examination Visante OCT images. Several patterns artifacts apparent.The is promising technique cells. grading.
