Intrableb fibrosis can be noninvasively evaluated with PS-OCT. Evaluation of birefringence by measuring phase retardation alterations using PS-OCT suggests new approaches for the postoperative management of glaucoma blebs regarding antifibrotic treatment for preventing IOP increases.

Polarization-sensitive OCT showed good repeatability for phase retardation measurements of central corneas not only for normal corneas, but also for various diseased corneas. Polarization-sensitive OCT might be useful for evaluating corneal phase retardation, which is one of the parameters that defines birefringence.

An increase in phase retardation preceded deterioration of bleb function. The change in phase retardation may provide a prognostic metric for bleb function in the early stage after surgery.

GPU-327 identified hypoxic area both in vivo and in vitro.
