Ex-PRESS Miniature Glaucoma Device in Vitrectomized Eyes

Purpose To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the Ex-PRESS miniature glaucoma device placed under scleral flap for the treatment of ocular hypertension in eyes that underwent vitreoretinal surgery. Methods Vitrectomized patients who required glaucoma surgery for persistent ocular hypertension were included. The Ex-PRESS miniature glaucoma device was implanted under scleral flap. Postsurgical clinical outcomes and intraocular pressure (IOP) was monitored for 6 months after surgery. Results At 6 months, all the patients had an IOP lower than 18 mmHg, 3 of them without topical therapy. Conclusions The use of the Ex-PRESS implant under scleral flap in eyes that underwent vitreoretinal surgery was effective for lowering IOP
