Purpose: To demonstrate photoreceptor cell injury in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease.
Methods: The SD-OCT and FAF tests of 16 patients diagnosed with VKH disease that was followed up from the initial stage to the convalescent stage were reviewed.
Results: In the initial stage of VKH disease, there was hyperautofluerescence around the macular edema. In the convalescent stage of VKH disease, loss of photoreceptor and injury of RPE have been detected by OCT scan at the same area, which was corresponded with the abnormalities in FAF.
Conclusions: The VKH disease causes photoreceptor injury starting in the initial stage of the disease.
