Abstract
Objective To evaluat the application of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) in the imaging of postoperative ocular penetrating injuries. Methods Thirty-six successive cases (36 eyes) with ocular penetrating injury in our hospital were examined by ASOCT after surgery to observe and analyze stuctural changes of cornea and anterior chamber angle by anterior segment biomicroscopy. Results The results of ASOCT showed that swollen and cloudy corneas with disordered stroma and irregular surfaces in 21 eyes, lacerated chamber angles in 5 eyes, synechial and closed chamber angles in 12 eyes, iris adhered to the wounds in 8 eyes, broken anterior lens capsules and overflowed cortices in 12 eyes and shallow cyclodialyses in 3 eyes. Conclusion ASOCT has good clinical value in evaluating injury degree in postoperative penetrating injury eyeballs and predicating the prognosis for recovery. Key words: anterior segment optical coherence tomography; ocular penetrating injury
