“…There are several reports in the literature involving corneal thickness measurements in systemic sclerosis. [19][20][21] Gomes et al found that central corneal thickness decreases over time in systemic sclerosis. 19 In another study, it was reported that corneal thickness in the patients with systemic sclerosis is similar to that in the healthy individuals.…”

Purpose: To evaluate the thickness of anterior sclera and corneal layers in patients with systemic sclerosis.Methods: The present cross-sectional study included 41 patients with systemic sclerosis and 41 age and gender-matched healthy controls. The study and control groups were compared in terms of the thickness of anterior sclera, corneal epithelium, Bowman's layer, corneal stroma and Descemet's membraneendothelium complex. The thickness measurements were obtained using the anterior segment module of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.Results: The thickness of anterior sclera, corneal epithelium, Bowman's layer, and Descemet's membraneendothelium complex were similar in the patients with systemic sclerosis and healthy controls (P>.05).Total corneal thickness at the apex was 511.1±33.5 µm in the systemic sclerosis group and 528.4±29.5 µm in the control group (P=.015). The corneal stroma was thinner in the systemic sclerosis patients compared to the healthy controls (P=.02).Conclusions: The corneal stroma was thinner in the patients with systemic sclerosis compared to that of healthy controls, while the thickness of the anterior sclera was similar in both groups.
