3D Investigation of Glaucoma Surgery


Keisuke Kawana has reported 3D tomographic investigation of trabeculectomy blebs. The bleb is an artificial structure created on the anterior eye by a surgery "trabeculectomy" which is for the treatment of glaucoma. He employed 3D swept-source OCT for this investigation. Internal outflow channels and scleral flaps were successfully visualized.
