GLAUCOMA DRAINAGE DEV ICES IN POST KERATOPLASTY INDUCED GLAUCOMA

B Maria Prashanth Babu

Abstract :

AIM OF THE STUDY – TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF AHMED GLAUCOMA VALVE DRAINAGE DEVICE IN POST KERATOPLASTY INDUCED GLAUCOMA . DESIGN – PROSPECTIVE STUDY PATIIENTS AND METHODS – STUDY INCLUDED 10 EYES OF 10 PATIENTS WITH REFRACTORY POST PENETRATING KERATOPLASTY INDUCED GLAUCOMA . INTRA OCULAR PRESSURE MEASURED BY GOLDMANN APPLANATION TONOMETRY , AHMED GLAUCOMA VALVE DRAINAGE DEVICE RESULTS – MEAN AGE OF THE STUDY POPULATION – 36.4 . MEAN INTRA OCULAR PRESSURE BEFORE SURGERY 41.8 MM OF HG . MEAN INTRA OCULAR PRESSURE FOLLOWING SIX MONTHS POST OPERATIVE PERIOD IS 15.6 MM OF HG . CONCLUSION – AHMED GLAUCOMA VALVE DRAINAGE DEVICE IS EFFECTIVE FOR REFFRACTORY POST PKP GLAUCOMA , IT HAS TO BE CONSIDERED WHEN OTHER TREATMENT FAILS , THOUGH IT IS ASSOIATED WITH GRAFT FAILURE AND COMPLICATIONS
