Xen 45 Gel Stent positioned in the sub-conjunctival space. a shows regular epithelial basal cells mosaic without rarefaction. b shows the junction between conjunctival and corneal basal epithelium in absence of inflammatory cells. c-f show micro-cysts, microbubbles and bubble clusters aggregate with regular borders in the absence of inflammatory cells. Goblet cells are present in the conjunctival epithelium around the micro-cystic space. g shows the sub-epithelial nerve plexus at limbal junction with a slight rarefaction of the nerve fibers and few bead-like neural processes. h & i show a regular normo-reflective sub-epithelial nerve plexus in the central cornea
