This system can be applied to detect and predict the progression of corneal dystrophy.

Schizophrenia is also conceptualized as a neurodegenerative disorder like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The current literature suggests reduced retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness and macular thickness (MT), as a marker of neurodegeneration, in patient suffering from chronic schizophrenia. This study aims to compare RNFL thickness and MT in acute schizophrenic patients with age and sex matched healthy controls. Twenty acutely ill schizophrenic patients and 20 normal controls were included in the study after proper informed consent. RNFL thickness and MT was measured using spectral domain Optical Coherence Tomography after clinical psychological assessment and ocular examination. The two groups were comparable in terms of socio-demographic variables. The average RNFL thickness of patients and healthy controls was 102.11 ± 29.18µm and 105.14 ± 27.35µm, respectively. Central macular thickness was 181.12 ± 13.63µm in patients and 234.58 ± 10.71µm in controls. There was a statistically significant reduction in thickness of macula (p < 0.05) but not for RNFL (p = 0.339). The study concludes that macular thinning rather than reduced RNFL is an early manifestation in acute schizophrenia patients and can be considered as a potential early biomarker of neurodegeneration in schizophrenia.
