Novel use of fibrin sealant for scleral suture free placement of a glaucoma drainage device in advanced scleral thinning.

Purpose: This reports a case using fibrin glue to secure a glaucoma drainage device plate to the sclera where there is a concern with the use of suture.

Observations: A 13-year-old patient with congenital aniridia and associated glaucoma refractory to topical medications underwent implantation of a glaucoma drainage device (GDD) for improved intraocular pressure (IOP) control. The patient had substantial scleral thinning with staphyloma formation, potentially making the use of traditional suturing techniques problematic.
