Fourier-Domain Optical Coherence Tomographic Assessment of Changes in the Schlemm’s Canal of Nonglaucomatous Subjects After Keratoplasty

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of keratoplasty on the in vivo anatomical structures in the Schlemm’s canal (SC) of nonglaucomatous subjects using Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT).Methods: Sixty-six nonglaucomatous eyes that underwent penetrating keratoplasty (PK...

The SC imaging was performed using FD-OCT before and after surgery in both the nasal and temporal quadrants. Patient demographics, SC parameters [e.g., cross-sectional area (CSA), meridional diameter of SC (MSC), sagittal diameter of SC (SSC), and circumference (CCF)], and the correlations between the variation of SC parameters and intraocular pressure (IOP) were analyzed.Results: The mean age of all subjects was 40.27 ± 18.97 years. Among all cases, the nasal, temporal, and mean MSC significantly decreased on the first day after surgery and then increased at 1 week (p = 0.04, 0.017, and 0.01, respectively). Temporal CSA (tCSA), temporal MSC (tMSC), and temporal circumference (tCCF) after PK (p = 0.017, 0.020, and 0.018, respectively) and nasal MSC (nMSC) after DALK (p = 0.025) decreased significantly on the first day after surgery. The shift in mean IOP was significantly correlated with the changes in tMSC (r = 0.341, p = 0.003) and CCF (r = 0.207, p = 0.048).Conclusion: SC had significant in vivo morphological changes in the early period after keratoplasty in nonglaucomatous eyes, accompanied with elevation of IOP. Early intervention might be necessary to prevent secondary glaucoma early after keratoplasty.Yujin ZhaoYujin ZhaoYue LiYue LiJiaxu HongJiaxu HongJiaxu HongQihua LeQihua LeJianjiang XuJianjiang XuFrontiers Media S.A.articlecorneakeratoplastySchlemm’s canal (SC)Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT)in vivo imagingPhysiologyQP1-981ENFrontiers in Physiology, Vol 12 (2021)
