The left image below was from the right eye from an 81-year-old Caucasian woman with bilateral primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). The image showed the location of the shunt, patency of the tip and details of the inner entrance. The location is between the iris and the cornea. The tip is open. The site of the entrance was anterior to the Schwalb's line disrupting the continuity of the endothelium, and tissue proliferation was also found on both side of the inner entrance attached to the corneal endothelium. The distance of corneal endothelium covered by proliferation on both sides was measured.
