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 کاملArtificial 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 کاملGlaucoma and Choroidal Thickness
Since the landmark study by Spaide and colleagues on the development of enhanced depth imaging by optical coherence tomography, an increasing number of studies have addressed choroidal thickness in normal eyes, factors associated with choroidal thickness in normal eyes, and associations of choroidal thickness with various retinal and retinochoroidal disorders. These studies have revealed that m...
متن کامل[Glaucoma drainage implants in the treatment of refractory glaucoma].
The authors describe their experience with the first three glaucoma drainage implants. All patients had previously several antiglaucomatous operations and a greatly reduced vision. The intraocular pressure was resistant to conservative treatment. In all patients the authors recorded postoperative complications reported in the literature. Glaucoma drainage implants extend possibilities in patien...
