Objective: To evaluate vitreous glutamate concentration and axon loss in monkeys with experimental glaucoma.
Methods: We induced unilateral chronic glaucoma by means of laser trabecular destruction in 14 rhesus and 6 cynomolgus monkeys. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was monitored weekly.
Purpose: To report results of implantation of the Ex-PRESS Miniature Glaucoma Implant (Optonol, Neve Ilan, Israel) shunt directly under the conjunctiva in advanced glaucoma.
Design: Noncomparative case series.
Methods: Chart review of eleven cases of Ex-PRESS implantation.
