Glaucoma implant surgery with autogenous fascia lata in scleromalacia perforans.

A 51-year-old woman with bilateral scleromalacia perforans and advanced glaucoma in the left eye was evaluated. Glaucoma implant surgery with autogenous fascia lata graft for reinforcement of the underlying sclera and a patch graft overlying the tube to prevent tube erosion was planned because of insufficient response to medical glaucoma therapy. Intraocular pressure decreased from 55 to 15 mm Hg and remained under 20 mm Hg throughout the follow-up period of 24 months.

Deep sclerectomy with a nonabsorbable implant (T-Flux): preliminary results.

Background: Deep sclerectomy is one of the two main types of nonpenetrating surgical methods of treating open-angle glaucoma. We aimed to determine, in a prospective study, the efficacy, success rate and complications of deep sclerectomy with implantation of a nonabsorbable drain made of highly hydrophilic acrylic (T-Flux).

Methods: Twenty-five patients (25 eyes) with medically uncontrolled open-angle glaucoma were treated by deep sclerectomy with implantation of the T-Flux drain.
