Fig1. Corneal ulcer with edema, iris prolapse, angle closure. VA: FC.

Fig2. Three days after double lamellar keratoplasty. The graft was clear and well aligned, slightly edematous in corneal stroma around the perforation, medium-deep anterior chamber, iris incarceration was completely relieved. VA: 0.1

Fig3. 2 weeks after surgery. Clear graft, medium-deep anterior chamber, no loose suture, and no double or pseudo-anterior chamber were found. VA: 0.15

"It is such an advanced OCT technology, provides high-definition wide and deep cross-section OCT and three-dimensional reconstruction for anterior segment, which effectively visualized this corneal ulcer perforation case. It is extremely valuable for preoperative evaluation and surgery design, and improves the precision of operations and postoperative results. Meanwhile, the fast non-invasive examination also greatly facilitates postoperative management. What a powerful tool for diagnosis, surgery, and long-term monitoring of anterior segment diseases*." – Prof. Mingshun Li, Beijing Hospital, China.
