Figure 1.
Anterior segment OCT images from normal eyes and eyes with edematous conjunctiva. A, Anterior segment OCT image showing the right eye of a healthy 43-year-old Asian man. Note the thin conjunctiva (yellow barbells) and a scleral–conjunctival border (white arrows) near the ocular surface. B, Anterior segment OCT image from a 71-year-old White man, who had undergone trabeculectomy in the left eye, obtained nasal to the bleb showing a thickened conjunctiva (yellow barbell) above the scleral–conjunctival border (white arrows). Outflow pathways are seen (red arrows) with valve-like structures (green arrows). Insert shows an OCT image obtained across the bleb body and bleb lumen. C, Anterior segment OCT image from a 79-year-old Asian man who had undergone subconjunctival lidocaine injection in the left eye before intravitreal anti–vascular endothelial growth factor injection for age-related macular degeneration. Again, thickened conjunctiva (yellow barbells) is present above the scleral–conjunctival border (white arrows). A lumen is seen (red arrow) with a valve-like structure (green arrow). D, Anterior segment OCT image from a 32-year-old White man with chemosis showing in the inferior left eye very thick conjunctiva (yellow barbell) above the scleral–conjunctival border (white arrows). Very dilated lumens (red arrows) are seen along with a valve-like structure (green arrow). Scale bars = 500 μm.
