ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of optical coherence tomography for the analysis of anterior segment after glaucoma surgery. DESIGN: Interventional case report. METHODS: In a 79-year-old man with primary open-angle glaucoma, optical coherence tomography was performed on the left eye after nonpenetrating deep sclerectomy. RESULTS: Optical coherence tomography showed thinning of the conjunctiva over the filtering bleb, presence of a space under the scleral flap that is considered as a lake, and presence of fibrous tissue in the bleb. CONCLUSION: This case indicates that optical coherence tomography, a noninvasive, noncontact optical imaging modality, may be useful for analysis of the anterior segment after glaucoma surgery.
