Welcome to GT the Podcast.

In this episode, Dr. Pujita Balakrishnan recaps her article, Using Imaging to Understand the Causes and Sequelae of Hypotenia, written with Dr. Jintan Yohannan and featured in the March-April issue of Glaucoma Today.

In this episode, Dr. Balakrishan discusses hypotony as a significant complication of glaucoma surgery and the challenge of identifying its causes in sequelae with only split-lamp examinations and indirect ophthalmoscope.

She suggests that ocular imaging modalities such as OCT, A and B scanned ultrasound, and ultrasound biomicroscopy may be valuable complementary tools for diagnosis and management.
