Procedural Treatments: Glaucoma Drainage Devices
2009Since the principle goal of tube shunt surgery is to lower IOP, the answer to this question easily could be considered the main factor in selecting a device. However, no one shunt has become the predominant choice of glaucoma surgeons, yet. The reason for this may be that there is not a clearly superior design with regards to IOP, that there is a ...

Glaucoma Drainage Devices in Children
2019Childhood glaucomas represent a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for both ophthalmologists and glaucoma specialists, not only because achieving intraocular pressure (IOP) control is difficult but also because some patients may still have poor vision in spite of successful IOP control due to amblyopia, corneal opacities, and/or uncorrected high ...

Pediatric Glaucoma: Trabeculectomy and Glaucoma Drainage Devices
2009Usually the answer is no. Many goniotomy/trabeculotomy failures occur in the first several months after the procedure [8]. Both severity of presentation and age at presentation have been correlated with treatment success in primary congenital glaucoma, with birth-onset, late-onset, and more severe presentations (large corneal diameter and high ...

[Artificial drainage devices in glaucoma].
Oftalmologia (Bucharest, Romania : 1990), 2000During the last two decades, glaucoma drainage devices (GDD) have been increasingly applied to the treatment of complicated glaucoma in which standard surgical therapy has failed. Most GDD's consist of a segment of silicone rubber attached to a rigid plastic or flexible rubber explant and evolved from the Molteno glaucoma implant, on which clinical ...
