[Detection of subclinical hypotony maculopathy with OCT III after filtration surgery].
OBJECTIVE
To detect nondiagnostic hypotony maculopathy by OCT III after filtration surgery.


METHODS
After surgery, patients with intraocular pressure less than 9 mmHg were submitted to OCT III examination.


RESULTS
Seven (87.50%) patients with previous diagnosis of open angle glaucoma and one (12.50%) of them with acute angle closure glaucoma. Two patients (25.00%) presented hypotony maculopathy on OCT III examination.


CONCLUSIONS
OCT III examination seems to be a good diagnostic method to detect subclinical hypotony maculopathy after filtration surgery.
