“…GDIs have been demonstrated to be effective in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) and are especially indicated in cases with high risk of failure after filtering procedures [3,4]. Typically, GDIs are indicated for eyes that have already undergone one or more glaucoma surgeries, and for particular types of glaucoma in which filtering procedures are likely to fail (e.g., secondary glaucomas) [5][6][7][8]. The use of GDIs as a primary surgical procedure for glaucoma has also been investigated [9,10].…”

A Review of the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve Implant and Comparison with Other Surgical Operations

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.

“…[23] However, in our poll, only 28% glaucoma specialists reported doing GDD implantation. On similar lines, nearly half (49%) glaucoma specialists in Australia and New Zealand[24] and 40% glaucoma specialists in Canada[11] did not perform GDD implantation surgery. Moreover, 76% of GDD surgeons in Australia and New Zealand did not perceive an increase in their volume of GDD implantation over 5 years preceding their survey.…”

Purpose:The aim of this study is to explore and compare the prevailing practice patterns in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma among subspecialists and general ophthalmologists in India.Materials and Methods:This is an interactive audience response system (ARS) based poll of ophthalmologists attending the annual conference of the Glaucoma Society of India in 2013.Results:The information was obtained from 379 ophthalmologists (146 glaucoma specialists, 54 nonglaucoma subspecialists, and 179 general ophthalmologists). The majority of polled ophthalmologists (236; 62%) had 10 or more years of experience in ophthalmology. The glaucoma specialists differed from nonglaucomatologists in their preference for Goldmann applanation tonometer (P < 0.01), four-mirror gonioscope (P < 0.01), Humphrey perimeter (P < 0.01), laser peripheral iridotomy in primary angle closure disease (P = 0.03), postiridotomy gonioscopy (P < 0.01), and usage of antifibrotic agents during filtering surgery (P < 0.01). Optical coherence tomography was the most preferred imaging modality and was utilized more often by the subspecialists than general ophthalmologists. The ophthalmologists also differed in their choice of antiglaucoma medications. More glaucoma specialists were performing surgery on children with congenital glaucoma (P < 0.01), implanting glaucoma drainage devices (P < 0.01), and using scientific journals to upgrade knowledge (P = 0.03) than the other ophthalmologists.Conclusions:This poll is the first of its kind in India, in its usage of the ARS, and in comparing the practice patterns of care for glaucoma among subspecialists and general ophthalmologists. It has revealed substantial diversity in a few areas among those who did and did not receive specialty training in glaucoma.

“…They are considered if one or two trabeculectomies with MMC fail or if extensive conjunctival scarring exists. [51] Some authors who have favorable outcomes with glaucoma drainage implant select it as the procedure of choice in uveitic glaucoma. [52], [53] Two types of drainage implants exist.…”
