Drainage devices in glaucoma surgery.
Glaucoma drainage devices, also termed aqueous shunts (AS), are widely used in the USA. Indications for AS include excessive conjunctival scarring diminishing the success of another filtration surgeries, abnormalities of the iridocorneal angle, neovascular glaucoma, presence of corneal grafts, and inflammatory glaucoma.
