“…Cyclodestructive procedures have traditionally been reserved for eyes with refractory glaucoma and limited visual potential [65][66][67][68]. Immediate and late complications of these procedures include pain, visual acuity reduction, corneal edema, persistent hypotony and phthisis bulbi [69,70].…”

The Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) is a popular glaucoma drainage implant used for the control of intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma. While in the past AGV implantation was reserved for glaucoma patients poorly controlled after one or more filtration procedures, mounting evidence has recently encouraged its use as a primary surgery in selected cases. AGV has been demonstrated to be safe and effective in reducing intraocular pressure in patients with primary or secondary refractory glaucoma. Compared to other glaucoma surgeries, AGV implantation has shown favorable efficacy and safety. The aim of this article is to review the results of studies directly comparing AGV with other surgical procedures in patients with glaucoma.

“…Such an endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) device combines a laser source, an endoscope, and an illumination beam in the same probe [68,70,72]. The technique appears promising in terms of efficacy and safety [68,70,73].…”

“…In the past 10 years, cyclocryotherapy has been replaced by other techniques, especially laser cyclophotocoagulation with Nd:YAG or Diode laser systems, 5-10 that achieve good results with a lower complication rate. [19][20][21][22][23][24] Diode laser transscleral cyclophotocoagulation is effective in lowering the intraocular pressure in chronic angle-closure glaucoma and its effect lasts for at least 1 year. 20 Transscleral Diode laser cyclophotocoagulation is an effective and safe method for the treatment of advanced, refractory glaucoma.…”

“…Ciliary processes are, however, frequently spared within the treatment zone and may account for early or late treatment failure. [22][23][24] Histopathological studies of enucleation specimens following laser cyclophotocoagulation (Diode and Nd:YAG laser) and cyclocryotherapy have been performed in humans [25][26][27][28][29] and animals. 12,[30][31][32][33][34][35] We have previously reported histopathology of two cases of clinical failure following Diode laser cyclophotocoagulation.…”

“…A cotton-tipped applicator is used to indent the sclera and bring the ciliary processes into view through a dilated pupil. [66][67][68][69] The end of the probe is placed about 3 mm from the ciliary body. This procedure is not commonly used because it is invasive.…”
