Evaluation of filtering blebs by ultrasound biomicroscopy

ABSTRACT

The present study aimed to analyze and investigate trabeculectomy blebs to find out the relation between filtering bleb function and ultrasound biomicroscopic images. The filtering blebs of 50 eyes from 50 patients with various types of glaucoma were examined using ultrasound biomicroscopy. Results showed Different patterns of reflectivity inside the bleb could be investigated beside the visibility of the route under the scleral flap. The structure inside a filtering bleb is visible by ultrasound biomicroscopy, and bleb function is associated with its ultrasound biomicroscopic images
