Abstract

The poor long-term success rate of repeat trabeculectomies in refractory uveitic glaucoma (UG) patients has led to the use of glaucoma drainage devices (GDDs). However, the success and complication rates of GDDs in UG patients utilizing a control group with standard demographic data, design, and surgical technique have never been evaluated. Fifteen patients (15 eyes) with chronic uveitis and 53 patients (53 eyes) with uncontrolled open-angle glaucoma (OAG) who underwent Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation were included in a retrospective, comparative, case-controlled study. Postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP), number of antiglaucoma medications, visual acuity, and complications were compared. There was a significant difference between the UG versus the OAG group with respect to age only (59.3 years vs 68.4 years, p = 0.006). Regression analysis of the postoperative IOP controlled for age and glaucoma type, and preoperative IOP revealed significantly lower IOP in the UG group at 1 month (p = 0.04; 95% confidence interval [CI] -5.9 to 0.15) and 2 months (p = 0.008; 95% CI -6.0 to 0.97). No significant differences were found at 3, 6, 12, 24, and 30 months. The cumulative success rates at 3 to 30 months for the UG and OAG ...Continue Reading
