Summary
This study introduces a novel technique combining goniotomy with Baerveldt-350 shunt implantation for improved early intraocular pressure control in glaucoma patients. The method proved safe and effective in a pilot case series.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Glaucoma Surgery
- Ocular Hypertension
Background:
- Non-valved aqueous shunt surgery is a key treatment for refractory glaucoma.
- Optimizing early intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction is crucial for preventing optic nerve damage.
- Current methods may have limitations in achieving rapid and sustained IOP control.
