Micro-invasive glaucoma surgery: current perspectives and future directions.

TL;DR: MIGS procedures offer reduction in IOP, decrease in dependence on glaucoma medications and an excellent safety profile, which differs from the role of more invasive glAUcoma surgeries such as trabeculectomy or glau coma drainage devices.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Ahmed versus Baerveldt study: three-year treatment outcomes.

TL;DR: Both implants were effective in reducing IOP and the need for glaucoma medications and the Baerveldt group had a lower failure rate and a lower IOP on fewer medications than the Ahmed group, but had a small risk of hypotony that was not seen in the Ahmed Group.
Journal ArticleDOI

Original articleThe Ahmed Versus Baerveldt Study: One-Year Treatment Outcomes

TL;DR: The Ahmed Versus Baerveldt (AVB) study as discussed by the authors reported the 1-year treatment outcomes of the AVB study, where patients with uncontrolled glaucoma refractory to medicinal, laser, and surgical therapy were randomized to undergo implantation of an Ahmed-FP7 valve (New World Medical, Inc., Rancho Cucamonga, CA) or a Baervesldt-350 implant (Abbott Medical Optics, Inc, Santa Ana, CA), to be followed for 5 years.
