Advancements in high-resolution imaging of the iridocorneal angle
High-resolution imaging methods of the iridocorneal angle (ICA) will lead to enhanced understanding of aqueous humor outflow mechanisms and a characterization of the trabecular meshwork (TM) morphology at the cellular level will help to better understand glaucoma mechanics (e.g., cellular level biom...

| description | High-resolution imaging methods of the iridocorneal angle (ICA) will lead to enhanced understanding of aqueous humor outflow mechanisms and a characterization of the trabecular meshwork (TM) morphology at the cellular level will help to better understand glaucoma mechanics (e.g., cellular level biomechanics of the particulate glaucomas). This information will translate into immense clinical value, leading to more informed and customized treatment selection, and improved monitoring of procedural interventions that lower intraocular pressure (IOP). Given ICA anatomy, imaging modalities that yield intrinsic optical sectioning or 3D imaging capability will be useful to aid in the visualization of TM layers. This minireview examines advancements in imaging the ICA in high-resolution. |
