Purpose:
To detect nondiagnostic hypotony maculopathy by OCT III after filtration surgery.
Methods:
After surgery, patients with intraocular pressure less than 9 mmHg were submitted to OCT III examination.
Results:
Seven (87.50%) patients with previous diagnosis of open angle glaucoma and one (12.50%) of them with acute angle closure glaucoma. Two patients (25.00%) presented hypotony maculopathy on OCT III examination.
Conclusion:
OCT III examination seems to be a good diagnostic method to detect subclinical hypotony maculopathy after filtration surgery.
