Abstract
Aim: To compare the anterior segment parameters of effected and normal eyes of unilateral
 oculodermal melanocytosis (ODM) patients.
 Materials and Methods: A retrospective chart and Scheimpflug camera database review for unilateral
 ODM patients were conducted. Anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber volume (ACV),
 anterior chamber angle (ACA) width, central corneal thickness (CCT), keratometry, pupilla diameter
 parameters of the eye with ODM (Group 1) was compared to the normal (Group 2) eye.
 Results: Sixteen patients with a mean age of 32.50±12.20 (range 12 and 48) were enrolled. No
 difference between groups were detected in terms of ACD, ACV, CCT, keratometry, pupilla diameter
 (p=0.655, p=0.812, p=0.131, p=0.434, p=0.325, p=0.509, respectively). Although ACA was lower in
 Group 1 the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.057).
 Conclusion: Although not statistically significant, there seems to be a tendency for shallow ACA
 readings in unilateral ODM eyes when compared to normal contralateral eyes. However, more studies
 with larger number of patients that evaluate this issue are needed.
