  Objective: To analyze the three-dimensional (3D) features of conjunctival epithelial microcysts (CEM) in eyes affected with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). Methods: This was a case series study. Nine patients that underwent successful trabeculectomy and four eyes with medically controlled POAG were enrolled. Patients were examined with confocal laser-scanning microscope (Heidelberg Retina Tomograph/Rostock Cornea Module). Sequential images 300 × 300 μm (384 × 384 pixels) derived from automatic scans were acquired throughout the upper bulbar conjunctiva, 2 mm from the limbus. Image acquisition was performed in z-scan automatic volume mode and a series of 40 images to a maximum depth of 40 μm were captured. The 3-D volume tissue reconstruction with a maximal size of 300 × 300 × 40 μm and voxel size of 0.78 &ti.. View More»
