- Ocular changes in OI [osteogenesis imperfecta] in a Portuguese populationPublication . Firmino, Patrícia; Barão, Rafael; Pereira, Débora; Sá, Mariana de; Monteiro, Patrícia; Silva, Paula; Fonseca, Ana C.; Poças, Ilda MariaOsteogenesis imperfecta (OI) can cause several ocular manifestations. The most common (and noticeable) is the bluish coloration of the sclerae (+ type I). Other common manifestations include reduced corneal thickness and rigidity, high refractive errors, keratoconus and glaucoma (higher incidence de per se or higher risk?). Less common: scleral rupture, retinal hemorrhages, CNV, among others. The aim of the study: a) assess and explore the ocular features of OI patients in an adult Portuguese population; b) exploratory analysis of relationships between OI types and ocular phenotypes; and c) exploratory analysis of relationships between several variables.
