Artificial drainage devices for glaucoma surgery: an overview.
Artificial drainage devices (ADD) create an alternative pathway for aqueous drainage from the anterior chamber of an eye through a tube to the subconjunctival bleb connected to an equatorial plate under the conjunctiva. The ADDs, both valved and non-valved, are available for end stage or refractory glaucoma. Currently, some of these devices, particularly the Express shunt, are recommended for t...
متن کاملSuprachoroidal Devices in Glaucoma Surgery
While conventional glaucoma filtration surgery provides excellent intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering effect, this comes at the expense of significant risks. As the physiology of the suprachoroidal space has become better understood, its potential as a source for aqueous drainage has generated significant interest. This has resulted in the creation of several suprachoroidal glaucoma devices wit...
متن کاملGlaucoma drainage devices; past, present, and future.
Glaucoma filtration surgery (GFS) has been shown to be more eVective at preventing disease progression than other primary treatment modalities in open angle glaucoma. 2 If it were possible to avoid complications associated with poor flow control, primary GFS would probably be offered more widely. Trabeculectomy, the procedure of choice in conventional GFS, has remained essentially unchanged for...
متن کاملNew Glaucoma surgery improving Anterior Aqueous Drainage
Introduction Anti-glaucoma medicines, laser surgery and incisional surgery all seek to lower the intraocular pressure (IOP). Incisional surgery is indicated when medical treatment and/or laser surgery have failed, are likely to fail or are not available or practical. The most standard surgical procedure is trabeculectomy (or some variation thereof e.g. ExPRESS shunt): aqueous is shunted from th...
متن کاملMinimally invasive glaucoma surgery: current status and future prospects
Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery aims to provide a medication-sparing, conjunctival-sparing, ab interno approach to intraocular pressure reduction for patients with mild-to-moderate glaucoma that is safer than traditional incisional glaucoma surgery. The current approaches include: increasing trabecular outflow (Trabectome, iStent, Hydrus stent, gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy...
