International consensus guideline published for eye imaging in VKH disease
A study published in a journal and reviewed by independent scientists. Even so, a single study is not conclusive; it needs to be replicated.
A panel of international eye specialists prepared an imaging guideline for VKH. The panel reviewed published studies together with example patients. OCT and ICG angiography stood out as the most sensitive methods for monitoring disease activity. The guideline aims to detect hidden flare-ups early.
What does it mean for patients and families?
This guideline helps make diagnosis and monitoring of the disease more consistent. The eye doctor (ophthalmologist) decides how often imaging is needed.
