The valve function of a glaucoma drainage device limits the flow of eye fluid in one direction which puts a theoretical limit to how low the eye pressure can drop.
. This 45-year-old woman has primary open angle glaucoma and had undergone multiple surgeries in this eye including a trabeculectomy in 2007 which required a revision and then an Ahmed stunt surgery which also required a revision. Bアーメド緑内障バルブAhmed TM Glaucoma ValveNew. However in many patients supplemental glaucoma medications such as eye drops are still required after an Ahmed valve is implanted to keep eye pressure within a normal range.
A randomized clinical trial. The Ahmed group required fewer IOP lowering drops in the early. She was hypotonus for periods during her postoperative care.
Ahmed glaucoma valve implant vs. The patients in the Ahmed valve group had lower IOP post-op day 1 and 1 month post-operatively but at 1 year of follow-up IOP was lower in the Baerveldt group mean IOP 165 mmHg in the Ahmed group and 138 mmHg in the Baerveldt group.
