Introduction• Glaucoma drainage implants are specially indicated
when the risks of failure with conventional trabeculectomy are high
NVG, uveitic glaucoma, etc.
• When cataract and glaucoma coexist together in a patient with refractory glaucoma, critical management issues arise
Selection of the optimum glaucoma surgical procedure, sequence of surgery, etc
• This procedure offers theoretical advantages like: Avoid the high risk of failure associated with conventional filtering surgery Improved IOP control in the long term and good visual rehabilitation Less risk of blebitis – endophtalmitis Single surgical procedure
