Summary

This study evaluates two different methods of controlling intraocular pressure in nonvalved aqueous tube shunts immediately after implantation; needle fenestrations or a suture wick.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Needle fenestration

This technique creates fenestrations along a nonvalved glaucoma implant (e.g. Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant) anterior to the ligature

PROCEDURE

Suture wick

This technique places a single 10-vicryl suture wick through the nonvalved glaucoma implant (e.g. Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant) anterior to the ligature
