The success of glaucoma tube shunt implantation in the setting of a local ocular steroid depot in uveitic glaucoma remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine whether patients who underwent combined glaucoma tube shunt (Ahmed) and flu...

متن کاملAhmed glaucoma valves in refractory glaucoma: a 7-year audit.
PURPOSE To present the long-term results of Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation. METHODS Consecutive case series of 94 eyes with AGV implantation over 7 years. Temporary tube ligation with C3F8 gas fill was used in high-risk eyes (group G&L) and compared with standard implantation in both phakic (group A) and pseudophakic/aphakic eyes (group B). Success was intraocular pressure (IOP) of 6...
