Longitudinal changes in complete avascular area assessed using anterior segmental optical coherence tomography angiography in filtering trabeculectomy bleb

Abstract Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a new technique for non-invasive imaging of blood vessels, allowing combined evaluation of both deep and surface vessels. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the post-trabeculectomy longitudinal changes in complete avascular area (CAA...
