Utility of anterior segment swept-source optical coherence tomography for imaging eyes with antecedent ocular trauma
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...
