Evaluation of corneal and lens properties in patients with systemic sclerosis: a densitometric analysis

Although anterior segment and lens parameters appeared unaffected, reduced corneal densitometry in the central optical zone suggests subtle stromal remodelling in patients with long-standing SSc. These microstructural changes may reflect chronic fibrotic remodelling and warrant further investigation.

Abstract

Although anterior segment and lens parameters appeared unaffected, reduced corneal densitometry in the central optical zone suggests subtle stromal remodelling in patients with long-standing SSc. These microstructural changes may reflect chronic fibrotic remodelling and warrant further investigation.
