| Summary: | Purpose. To conduct an experimental and clinical study of a hypotensive effect of implantation of an improved carbon drainage with an optimized sorption capacity. Material and methods. The study involved the eyes of 50 Chinchilla rabbits divided into 3 groups, depending on the diameter of the drainage, multifilament carbon: 150, 450 and 600 μm. The results were assessed over a 15-month period. Once a week, biomicroscopy and tonometry using a Maklakov tonometer (with the load of 10.0 G) was conducted. Once every 3 months, ultrasound and endothelial biomicroscopy was performed. Results. The ability of the developed drainage to significantly reduce IOP by improving the outflow of intraocular fluid was confirmed. Implantation was shown to cause no damage to corneal endothelium. Conclusion. The positive results obtained are an evidence of good prospects of using multifilament carbon for drainage in glaucoma surgery. For citations: Stepanov A.V., Zolkin P.I., Gamzaeva U.Sh.
