The Next Steps in Ocular Imaging in Uveitis.

PURPOSE

To describe the future steps and advances in the field of ocular imaging in uveitis.

METHODS

Narrative review.

RESULTS

There have been numerous advances in the field of imaging in uveitis in the past decade. Advanced techniques of imaging of the vitreous, vitreo-retinal interface, retinochoroid, and the sclera can provide significant information that helps in understanding the disease pathogenesis and manifestations. Imaging also helps in establishing a diagnosis in challenging cases, along with the laboratory and other assays. Notable developments in ocular imaging include wide-field and ultra-wide field imaging (including angiographies), automated quantification of the retinochoroidal vasculature using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography, quantification of vitreous cells, and intraoperative use of imaging in uveitis, among others.

CONCLUSIONS

We have summarized several technological achievements in ocular imaging in the field of uveitis and provided insights into the potential future developments.
