| Abstract | ||||
| Introduction: Cataract and glaucoma are one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. The prevalence of both diseases is increasing with aging (Friedman et al., 2002). Aim of the work: By using Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography (AS-OCT) evaluating anterior chamber angle (ACA) preoperatively and evaluating ACA and filtering bleb postoperatively after phacotrabeculectomy. Patients and Methods: This is a prospective study that included 30 eyes of 30 patients with a diagnosis of: cataract and glaucoma from both sexes age from 42 to 72 years old underwent phacotrabeculectomy operation. Results: This is a prospective study detect diagnostic performance of AS-OCT in assessing the anterior chamber angle (ACA) pre and postoperatively and feltring bleb in phacotrabeculectomy. Conclusion: AS-OCT imaging of phacotrabeculectomy feltring bleb detect that we can diagnosed successful functioning bleb from its morphological character with controlled IOP, AS-OCT detect 9 cystic blebs, 12 diffuse, and 9 flat blebs with controlled IOP in all cases inspite of type of bleb and that explaend by cataract extraction. | ||||
