CLINICAL INVESTIGATION Suprachoroidal implant surgery in intractable glaucoma
Purpose To report the early results of suprachoroidal silicone implant surgery in intractable glaucoma. Materials and methods A modified silicone implant with no valve was implanted into the suprachoroidal space of 15 eyes with intractable glaucoma. Results The mean age of the patients was 53.0 ± 24.5 (range 7–85) years, the mean follow-up time was 17.1 ± 4.8 (range 10–28) months, and the mean ...
متن کاملLong-term results of Molteno implant insertion in cases of neovascular glaucoma.
OBJECTIVE To describe the long-term outcomes of cases of neovascular glaucoma drained by Molteno implants. METHODS A prospective study of 145 eyes (130 patients) followed up for a mean of 3.3 years (range, 0.02 year [5 days] to 18.1 years) in the province of Otago, New Zealand, from 1979 to 2002. RESULTS Insertion of a Molteno implant controlled the intraocular pressure at 21 mm Hg or less ...
متن کاملTissue response to aqueous drainage in a functioning Molteno implant.
The tissue reaction to a functioning Molteno implant has been studied by light microscopy and by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The material was obtained from an aphakic 83-year-old human eye which required enucleation because of intractable bullous keratopathy, despite well controlled intraocular pressure. The tissue response around the silicone rubber tube was that of simple f...
متن کاملSurgical technique: complex glaucoma case requiring Molteno drainage tube extension
A 42-year-old man has been under long-term follow-up since he was a child for congenital glaucoma and buphthalmos in both eyes. His left eye best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was counting fingers, due to end-stage glaucoma. He was on maximal medical therapy with an intraocular pressure (IOP) maintained at mid to low twenties. His right eye, the only seeing eye, had a BCVA of 6/9. This eye had...
متن کاملAhmed glaucoma valve and single-plate Molteno implants in treatment of refractory glaucoma: a comparative study.
PURPOSE To report 2-year follow-up data after Ahmed valve implantation (New World Medical, Inc) and Molteno single-plate implantation surgical treatment of refractory glaucoma. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, comparative study. METHODS Patients with refractory glaucoma, defined as uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP) of more than 21 mm Hg despite maximal antiglaucoma medication, previous...
