Prospective evaluation of iris-trabecular contact using anterior segment optical coherence tomography and early intraocular pressure changes in eyes following penetrating keratoplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To explore the changes of iris-trabecular contact (ITC) and intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients who underwent penetrating keratoplasty (PK) during early postoperative period.

Methods

This prospective study finally included 46 eyes of 46 patients who underwent PK or triple surgery. Slit lamp examinations, IOP and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) scans were examined before surgery, and at one-day, one-week, and one-month follow-ups. The parameters of anterior segment, IOP values and ITC ranges were compared. Additionally, the correlation analyses were performed to reveal risk factors of high IOP and postoperative ITC.

Results

The anterior segment underwent a significant reconstruction in the early postoperative period. Preoperative IT
