Optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the anterior segment, in particular corneal OCT, has become a reliable tool for the cornea specialist, as it provides the acquisition of digital images at high resolution with a noncontact technology. In penetrating or lamellar keratoplasties, OCT can be used to assess central corneal thickness and pachymetry maps, as well as precise measurements of deep stromal opacities, thereby guiding the surgeon to choose the best treatment option. OCT has also been used to evaluate the keratoplasty postoperative period, for early identification of possible complications, such as secondary glaucoma or donor disc detachments in endothelial keratoplasties. Intraoperatively, OCT can be used to assess stromal bed regularity and transparency in anterior lamellar surgeries, especially for those techniques in which a bare Descemet’s membrane is the goal. The purpose of this paper is to review and discuss the role of OCT as a diagnostic tool in various types of keratoplasties.

Abstract Background To assess the changes of anterior chamber angle in patients with shallow anterior chamber and normal anterior chamber after phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation (IOL) using anterior segment swept-source optical coherence tomography (AS-SS-OCT). Methods This was a prospective case control study; 60 eyes of 60 patients who underwent cataract surgery. Based on anterior chamber depth (ACD) and gonioscopy findings, the eyes were classified into two groups, shallow anterior chamber group (30 eyes) and normal anterior chamber group (30 eyes). AS-SS-OCT was used to measure ACD and angle parameters angle opening distance (AOD), angle recess area (ARA), trabecular iris space area(TISA), and trabecular iris angle (TIA). Serial changes in each group were measured before and 3 months after phacoemulsification and IOL, and the differences between the two groups were compared. Results All angle parameters including ACD, AOD, ARA, TISA, and TIA in both groups at 3 months after cataract surgery were significantly different from the preoperative values (p<0.01). In addition, we found significant differences of all angle parameters between groups of shallow anterior chamber (SAC) and normal anterior chamber (NAC) (All P< 0.05). Besides, the TISA750 in superior quadrant and anterior chamber volume (ACV) were significantly smaller in the group of SAC than those in the group of NAC (P = 0.041 and 0.002, respectively). Conclusions The parameters of anterior chamber increased significantly in both two groups but not increase to the same extent 3 months after phacoemulsification. Iris thickening may also be one of the narrow angle factors,not just age-related lens thickening.
