Abstract

Glaucoma drainage implants are generally used to manage medically uncontrolled glaucoma when trabeculectomy has failed or is unlikely to succeed. All glaucoma drainage implants consist of a tube that connects to an end plate. Drainage implants differ in their design with respect to the size, shape, and material composition of the end plate, and whether a valve is present or absent. A similar surgical technique is used for placement of all glaucoma drainage implants. The surgical results that are achieved after implant surgery depend upon the type of glaucoma treated and type of implant used. Intraoperative and postoperative complications may develop with glaucoma drainage implant surgery related to implantation of a foreign body.
