Ahmed Valve, Suture-less Implantation

Journal of Glaucoma, 2013
Tissue adhesives have been used in ophthalmology instead of sutures to minimize the operating time. This case series investigated the effectiveness and safety of use of cyanoacrylate in Ahmed valve implantation through pars plana for refractory glaucoma.Seventeen eyes of 17 patients with refractory glaucoma underwent Ahmed valve scleral suture-less ...

Initial Clinical Experience With the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve Implant

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1995
We studied the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve implant, an aqueous shunting device that has a unidirectional valve mechanism designed to prevent postoperative hypotony in eyes with intractable glaucoma.In this multicenter, prospective clinical trial, we studied 60 eyes (60 patients) with increased intraocular pressure or glaucoma that had not responded to medical

Intraoperative Management of Nonfunctioning Ahmed Glaucoma Valve Implant

Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 2006
Abstract. A 62-year-old woman with neovascular glaucoma underwent filtering surgery with the Ahmed glaucoma valve (New World Medical, Inc., Rancho Cucamonga, CA). Intraoperative hypotony secondary to a defective valve was noted and managed by excising the valve mechanism. The implant was then treated as if it was non-valved by placement of an obturator

Anatomic Considerations in the Implantation of the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1996
Several aqueous drainage devices have been developed to treat refractory glaucoma. Among these are the Krupin, Molteno, Schocket, and Baerveldt implants. The recently introduced Ahmed glaucoma valve (Model S2, New World Medical, Rancho Cucamonga, Calif) 1 contains a pressure-sensitive silicone membrane valve that reduces postoperative hypotony and ...
