Abstract | Purpose: To investigate the corneal topography and densitometry changes in patients with lichen planus (LP). Methods: Anterior segment parameters and corneal densitometry of patients with LP and age- and gender-matched individuals with healthy eyes were evaluated using Scheimpflug corneal topography. A 12 mm corneal area was divided into 4 annular zones and 3 regions-in-depth anterior, central and posterior-for densitometry evaluation. Results: The study included 45 patients with LP and 50 individuals with healthy eyes. The two groups were similar in age and gender, and they showed no significant differences in anterior segment corneal topography parameters. Schirmer's I test results were significantly lower in the patients with LP than in the control group (P ˂ .001). The total corneal densitometry was higher in patients with LP than in the control group (P = .030). The anterior, central and posterior corneal densitometry in the 0-2 mm and 2-6 mm annular zones was higher in the LP group than in the control group. Correlation analysis between disease duration and corneal densitometry values showed a strong positive correlation in the anterior segment and a moderate positive correlation in the central and posterior segments (r = 0.632, P ˂ .001; r = 0.572, P ˂ .001; and r = 0.562, P ˂ .001, respectively). Conclusions: Corneal densitometry values were higher in patients with LP than in individuals with healthy eyes, even if the patients had a clinically transparent cornea. More studies are needed to evaluate the changes that may occur in corneal transparency in patients with LP and other autoimmune dermatologic diseases that may affect the eye. |
