Implementing collaborative care for glaucoma patients and suspects in Australia

stromal scars at the flap wound margins develop, these biomechanical changes resulted in greater corneal stability, allowing the posterior cornea to revert to its preoperative state.With regards to the posterior corneal astigmatism, there were no changes in either the vector components.No evidence of myopic regression or progressive corneal ectasia was observed during our 3 years of follow up.Similar to Scheimpflug photography, SS-OCT can directly evaluate the corneal topography from the posterior corneal surface.Evaluating the posterior corneal elevation is of particular importance for early detection and monitoring of post-LASIK ectasia.A shorter scanning duration is essential to reduce motion artefacts, while a longer wavelength permits better light penetration with less scattering through the LASIK flap.We believe that due to the shorter scan duration (0.3 vs 2 s) and longer wavelength of light source (1310 vs 475 nm) in SS-OCT than Scheimpflug imaging, the former provides a more precise and accurate assessment of the posterior corneal surface.Further studies should evaluate posterior corneal elevation at various optical zones to ascertain the stability of the posterior corneal surface demonstrated in this SS-OCT study.
