Scleral and conjunctival features in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment undergoing scleral buckling: an anterior segment optical coherence tomography and in vivo confocal microscopy study.

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and SB induced scleral and conjunctival changes that suggested an activation of fluid outflow through the entire unconventional aqueous humour pathway; these modifications may in part account for the relative hypotony after RRD and SB.
