| Summary: | Purpose: to determine the long-term efficiency and safety of implantation Ex-PRESS open-angle glaucoma device to patients at advanced stage of POAG.Methods: Seven male patients underwent penetrating filtering surgery with implantation of the Ex-PRESS shunt over the lack of stabilization of visual functions on hypotensive drugs.Results: Average monitoring of patients was 19.96±9.73 months. IOP in postoperative period was 16.14±3.67 mm Hg (by Makla- kov). the reduction of IOP was 12.72 mm Hg (40.2%). Cell density didn’t differ from double (2879±87 cell/mm2 и 2798±67 cell/mm2, p>0.05).Conclusion: Long-term gradual reduction of IOP and safety of implantation Ex-PRESS glaucoma device may be a reason of choicethis type of surgery for patients at advanced stage. |
