Surgical treatment: OCT slit
Comment by Paul Palmberg on:
15297 Filtering bleb evaluation with slit-lamp-adapted 1310-nm optical coherence tomography, Muller M; Hoerauf H; Geerling G et al., Current Eye Research, 2006; 31: 909-915
Mulleret al. (1130) have used an anterior segment OCT device to image the internal structures of filtering blebs. The 1310 nm wavelength used penetrates and images blebs well, much as does high frequency UBM, but has the advantages of greater resolution and being non-contact. It remains to be seen if this actually yields more clinically useful information than is already available to an experienced clinician by slit-lamp clinical examination, but clearly it provides documentation and images which can be analyzed and compared over time.
