Insights into scleral violaceous hue in anterior scleritis: anterior segment optical coherence tomography evaluation
Using AS-OCT, the thicknesses of violaceous sclerae were not significantly thinner than the contralateral unaffected areas, despite a mean difference of approximately 65 microns. The increased scleral hyperreflectivity observed in the violaceous sclera may suggest collagen remodeling in these areas. Such remodeling could play a role in the sclera reflecting violaceous hues while still preventing direct visualization of the underlying choroid.
