Outcomes of Glaucoma Drainage Devices in Childhood Glaucoma
Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2020Angle surgery is the gold standard for the management of many types of childhood glaucoma, yet glaucoma drainage devices (GDD) are effective tools for refractory advanced cases or secondary childhood glaucomas. The purpose of this article is to review recently published literature focused on the use of GDDs for pediatric glaucoma, including GDD general

Imaging of Glaucoma Drainage Devices
Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 2012Previously reserved for patients with refractory glaucoma, glaucoma drainage devices (GDDs) are being used more frequently as a primary treatment option. Several types of GDDs are currently manufactured, only one of which is radiopaque. Knowledge of their typical imaging appearance in addition to pertinent background information is therefore vital for ...

Glaucoma Drainage Devices: State of the Art
Expert Review of Medical Devices, 2006Glaucoma drainage devices (GDDs) create an alternate aqueous pathway by channeling aqueous from the anterior chamber through a long tube to an equatorial plate, inserted under the conjunctiva, which promotes bleb formation. GDDs are being used more frequently in the treatment of glaucoma, both as the primary procedure of choice and following failure of

Glaucoma drainage devices (GDDs) are useful in the management of complex childhood glaucoma. They can be used as a primary procedure in certain circumstances or as a second procedure where more conventional surgery (e.g., angle surgery) has been performed and failed.

Glaucoma drainage devices: pros and cons
Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 1999Glaucoma drainage devices are an option in the management of complicated glaucomas that carry a high risk of failure from conventional filtering surgery. Examples include the glaucomas associated with aphakia or pseudophakia, neovascular glaucoma, and glaucomas associated with trauma, uveitis, epithelial downgrowth, iridocorneal endothelial syndrome ...

Implantation of a second glaucoma drainage device
Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology, 2017To evaluate success rates in controlling intraocular pressure (IOP) after implantation of a second glaucoma drainage device (GDD) with a Baerveldt glaucoma implant in patients with refractory glaucoma, with a secondary aim of reducing the need for postoperative glaucoma medications.This retrospective, noncomparative, interventional study included ...

Novel Micromachined Valved Glaucoma Drainage Devices
2006 International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2006In this work two novel valve devices are proposed for treatment of glaucoma. By opening or closing, the proposed valves can be used to reduce high pressures in the eye (hypertony), or prevent low pressures in the eye (hypotony) respectively. These devices work based on the buckling of fluid channel connected to the anterior chamber of the eye.
