The primary outcome measure was time to resolution of hydrops. Suture removal was planned after documenting stability of corneal thickness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Seven patients (4 males, 3 females; median age 16 years) underwent iOCT-guided PTS with intracameral air. The time interval between onset of hydrops and PTS ranged from 1 to 12 weeks. The preoperative corneal thickness ranged from 1120 to 2363 \u00b5m. The initial depth of suture placement on iOCT was observed to be &lt;50%; progressive stromal compaction and collapse of intrastromal fluid pockets allowed deeper penetration with needle during subsequent suture placement. A decrease in separation of DM from stroma was noted; however, no case had on-table complete DM-stromal reattachment. Complete resolution of hydrops was observed by 2 weeks in all cases. Suture removal was performed in 5 cases at 8\u201312 weeks.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>iOCT helps titrate depth and tightness of compression sutures in real time to achieve on-table stromal compaction and minimization of intrastromal clefts, with fast resolution of
