Research summary
In this study (Defining Outcome Measures in Ocular Inflammatory Disease; DOMINO ID) we are trying to identify better ways of measuring inflammation related to eye disease. Inflammation in and around the eye is common and can cause people to lose vision. It is difficult to monitor accurately since our current scoring systems are subjective with high variability. We wish to see whether a number of new instruments can be used to (1) objectively measure the degree of inflammation, (2) assess the complications of inflammatory eye disease and (3) be used to predict recovery and response to treatment.
