Abstract

Purpose: Rigorous clinical testing has established that Schlemm's canal cross-sectional area (SC-CSA) is reduced in glaucomatous eyes. However, to date, it is unclear whether trabecular bypass procedures impact the morphology of the proximal aqueous outflow tract, or if the introduction of a local region of low outflow resistance adversely affects SC-CSA elsewhere, specifically presenting as SC diminution. This study quantifies changes in the morphology of the distal outflow pathway after iStent Trabecular Micro-Bypass stent (Glaukos Corp, Laguna Hills, CA, USA) implantation in living eyes by anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT).
