Expansion of Schlemm's Canal by Travoprost in Healthy Subjects Determined by Fourier-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography [Glaucoma]

Conclusions.
SC can be noninvasively imaged and quantitatively assessed in the living healthy human eye by FD-OCT. Travoprost treatment leads to SC lumen expansion accompanied by a drop of IOP in the healthy eye, likely as a result of the enhancement of pressure sensitive trabecular meshwork outflow induced by travoprost.
