Purpose:
To evaluate the utility of swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) for the analysis of anterior segment structures in cases with previous traumatic eye injuries.
Observations:
We report three eyes of three patients with anterior segment traumatic eye injury and highlight the role of SS-OCT in their evaluation and management. This technology enabled us to visualize the structural details of anterior segment of the eye and augment the clinical examination in our patients. Given that it is non-invasive and that there is no contact involved, it may be an ideal imaging modality for traumatic eye injuries for viewing the details before and after any clinical intervention especially in the sub-acute setting.
Conclusions:
The anterior segment SS-OCT is a useful device allowing non-invasive, non-contact, real-time, cross-sectional anterior segment images of eyes with previous ocular trauma.
