Summary

In the management of open angle glaucoma, frequently more then one procedure is necessary to control the intra ocular pressure. There is still no consensus whether this second intervention should be a second trabeculectomy or a shunt device. In the present study we compare a second trabeculectomy versus Ahmed silicone shunt device in open angle glaucoma patients with previous trabeculectomy without proper IOP control.
