Early weaning vs prolonged administration of aqueous suppressants for prevention of hyperencapsulation in paediatric Ahmed glaucoma valve
Acta Ophthalmologica Aug 23, 2019
Rateb MF, et al. - In this prospective randomized interventional study, researchers examined the role of early and prolonged administration of aqueous suppressants in decline of hyperencapsulation and intraocular pressure (IOP) control following paediatric Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation. Participants in the study were children who had AGV implantation for paediatric glaucoma. Hyperencapsulation rate and IOP reduction were the primary outcome measures. The 12-month follow-up visits were finished by 86 children. After paediatric AGV implantation, early and prolonged use of aqueous suppressants considerably decreased the rate of hyperencapsulation and offered improved IOP control.
