| Popis: | AIMS: To report corneal endothelial cell loss and in vivo visualization of the Ahmed glaucoma valve implant in eyes with refractory glaucoma. METHODS: Ten eyes underwent Ahmed valve implant surgery and were followed-up for 12 months. Data collected included intraocular pressure (IOP), number of antiglaucoma medications and surgery-related complications. At 6 and 12 months postoperatively, the intracameral length of the drainage tube (ICL) and the distance between the tube and the cornea (T-C distance), and the iris (T-I distance) were assessed using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). Heidelberg cornea tomograph II (HRT II) was used to measure the corneal endothelial cell density. RESULTS: Mean (+/-SEM) preoperative IOP was 29.5+/-4 mmHg. Mean postoperative IOP was 11.6+/-2 at 12 months (P |
