Abstract
Purpose
To evaluate the utility of swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) for the analysis of anterior segment structures in cases with previous traumatic eye injuries.
Observations
We report three eyes of three patients with anterior segment traumatic eye injury and highlight the role of SS-OCT in their evaluation and management. This technology enabled us to visualize the structural details of anterior segment of the eye and augment the clinical examination in our patients. Given that it is non-invasive and that there is no contact involved, it may be an ideal imaging modality for traumatic eye injuries for viewing the details before and after any clinical intervention especially in the sub-acute setting.
Conclusions
The anterior segment SS-OCT is a useful device allowing non-invasive, non-contact, real-time, cross-sectional anterior segment images of eyes with previous ocular trauma.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports is a peer-reviewed, scientific publication that welcomes the submission of original, previously unpublished case report manuscripts directed to ophthalmologists and visual science specialists. The cases shall be challenging and stimulating but shall also be presented in an educational format to engage the readers as if they are working alongside with the caring clinician scientists to manage the patients. Submissions shall be clear, concise, and well-documented reports. Brief reports and case series submissions on specific themes are also very welcome.
