Scheimpflug imaging generated lens backscatter metrics that proved useful in grading cataract and predicting visual outcomes, according to a study.

The first day after trabeculectomy, a patient with primary open angle glaucoma presents with a bleb that is almost flat, a very shallow anterior chamber, and vision decreased from 20/30 to 20/100. The IOP is 1 to 2 mmHg. What is the most likely cause?
1. Aqueous misdirection (malignant glaucoma)
2. Pupillary block
3. Early failure of the bleb with episcleral fibrosis
4. Ciliary body shut down
5. Bleb leak
