Background  The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in choroidal thickness and lamina cribrosa position after nonpenetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS) and trabeculectomy.    Methods  Twenty-three eyes with glaucoma that required filtering surgery were included (12 NDPS and 11 trabeculectomies) in this prospective observational study. OCT-enhanced depth imaging (OCT-EDI) was used to measure choroidal thickness, prelaminar tissue thickness and lamina cribrosa position before and 7 days and 1 month after surgery. All results are shown as median (interquartile range values).    Results  Intraocular pressure (IOP) was significantly lower 1 week after surgery than at baseline (7 (6/10) mmHg vs. 21 (18/26) mmHg;  p  < 0.001) with a mean 64% decrease. IOP remained significantly lower at 1 month with a 55% mean decrease as compared to baseline (10 (8/12) mmHg;  p  < 0.001). One week after surgery, the subfoveolar choroidal thickness (SFCT) significantly increased (372 (306/523) μm vs. 317 (227/413) μm;  p  = 0.04) and the prelaminar tissue (PLT) was significantly thicker (269 (162/360) μm vs. 138 (87/268) μm;  p  = 0.02) as compared to preoperative measurements. These changes were not statistically significant at one month. There were no differences concerning these parameters between the NPDS and trabeculectomy groups. During the first week, the SFCT increase was correlated with IOP reduction (r = − 0.41;  p  = 0.04).    Conclusions  OCT-EDI allowed the visualization of structural changes at the level of the optic nerve and choroidal vascularization during acute IOP changes. No difference was observed between NPDS and trabeculectomy concerning these structural modifications.
