[HRT and glaucoma surgery follow-up]. / HRT et suivi des glaucomateux opérés.

ABSTRACT

Heidelberg Retina Tomography (HRT) analysis of the optic nerve might be temporarily modified after glaucoma surgery. However, optimal follow-up of glaucoma patients requires comparing reliable optic nerve images. The aim of this study was to define the consequences of glaucoma surgery on HRT measurements. Results showed temporary modifications until at least the third month, suggesting that it is better to wait 6 months after surgery to obtain reliable measurements.
