| الوصف: | Objectives: To analyze and assess compatibility of trabeculectomy filtering bleb characteristics and appearances using biomicroscopy, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM). Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight eyes of 28 patients who underwent glaucoma filtering surgery with mitomycin C in our clinic between 2009 and 2013 were evaluated. Morphological appearances of the blebs on slit-lamp biomicroscopy were defined according to the Moorfields bleb classification system. For the internal tissue assessment of blebs, AS-OCT and IVCM were performed. Bleb biometric parameters such as length, height and bleb wall thickness were assessed by AS-OCT; conjunctival epithelial-stromal cyst, structural network of conjunctival stroma and vascularisation were examined with IVCM. The relation between biomicroscopic morphological staging and bleb characteristics detected on AS-OCT and IVCM were assessed. Results: The mean age of the 28 patients (16 male, 12 female) was 57.2±15.9 (19 to 79) years. The mean time elapsed between surgery and examination was 29.2±19.2 (6 to 68) months. According to biomicroscopic appearance, 17 (60.7%) blebs were functional (13 diffuse, 4 microcystic), whereas 11 (39.3%) blebs were non-functional (9 flat, 2 encapsulated). In the comparison of non-functional and functional blebs, functional blebs were found to be superior in terms of biometric parameters on AS-OCT assessment (p |
