Changes of Neuroretinal Rim and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness Assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography After Filtration Surgery in Glaucomatous Eyes

摘要

Lowering the intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) with filtration surgery can induce morphological changes to the bulbus and structures of the retina. In this study, we have evaluated changes of Bruch’s membrane-based parameters and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) derived by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in eyes that have undergone glaucoma filtration surgery.
