Popis: OBJECTIVE To prospectively assess the efficacy of a biodegradable collagen matrix (ologen) in dogs with uncontrolled glaucoma receiving an Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implant. ANIMAL STUDIED Five client-owned dogs with glaucoma (five eyes). PROCEDURES Five eyes treated for uncontrolled glaucoma underwent AGV implantation with ologen. Ologen was placed on the AGV plate and tube with a scleral flap. Complete ophthalmological examinations were performed preoperatively and at 1 and 3 days, 1 and 2 weeks, and 1, 2, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Surgical outcomes were assessed based on the intraocular pressure (IOP), vision, frequency of anti-glaucoma eye drops, and bleb morphology; complications, if any, were recorded. The number of dogs with an IOP
