Usefulness of Polarization-sensitive Optical Coherence Tomography-derived Attenuation-coefficient Images to Visualize the Internal Structure of the Filtering Bleb

Purpose/Aim of the study Polarization-sensitive anterior-segmental optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) is useful to evaluate the filtering blebs after trabeculectomy. However, the attenuation phenomenon of OCT signal disturbs the visibility of intra-blebs structure and distribution of birefringence; a specific parameter of PS-OCT. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the attenuation-coefficient image of the filtering blebs. Materials and methods This study included 25 eyes 6 months after TLE. The ...
