Visante Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography Analysis of Morphologic Changes in the Anterior Segment Structures after Deep Sclerotomy Versus Phaco-Deep Sclerotomy with Intraoperative Mitomycin-C and No Implant Use Read More: http://informahealt
Purpose : To compare intrascleral bleb characteristics after non-penetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS) and Phaco -NPDS after five years of follow-up using Visante anterior segment optical coherence (AS-OCT). Setting : Hospital Universitario Príncipe de Asturias, Madrid, Spain. Design : Cross-sectional study. Methods : This study examined 47 eyes from 47 patients who had undergone either NPDS (27 eyes) or Phaco -NPDS (20 eyes). Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements, best corrected visual acuity, slit-lamp examination, and Visante scans were performed. Results : The significant reductions of IOP and antiglaucoma medication occurring in both groups were comparable ( p > 0.05). The mean IOP reduction was 37.26% in ...
