Retinal fiber layer thickness in children with thalessemia major and iron deficiency anemia.

abstract：:Evaluation of patients after trabeculectomy can be aided by the use of anterior segment imaging. Two commonly used forms of imaging are ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Both modalities can be used to assess bleb morphology and how it affects treatment outcome, measure anterior cha...
