Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography and Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography After Bleb Forming Glaucoma Surgeries: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The bleb-forming surgical spectrum in open-angle glaucoma has recently been expanded by novel surgical approaches. Through a medical device implantation (Xen Gel Stent (XGI) or Preserflo Microshunt (PMI)), these procedures aim at more standardised aqueous humour shunting and an intra- and postoperative risk reduction. Postoperatively, however, XEN, PMI and trabeculectomy share their dependence on the proper function of the filtration bleb. This review summarises available literature on anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT)- and AS-OCT angiography (AS-OCTA)-based bleb parameters with an emphasis on their association with bleb function.

Methods

A systematic PubMed search was performed to identify the available evidence.
