Purpose: To determine 2-year efficacy of the PAUL Glaucoma Implant (PGI), a novel glaucoma tube shunt in patients with advanced glaucoma.
Participants: Patients with glaucoma refractory to maximum medical therapy or previous failed glaucoma surgery.
Methods: Retrospective review of all patients who had underwent PGI implantation in a single tertiary institution between May 1, 2017 and March 30, 2021.
Article Synopsis
- This study explores the effectiveness of micropulse trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation as a secondary treatment for managing high intraocular pressure resulting from inflammation in two patients who did not respond well to medications.
- In Case 1, a patient with a history of cataract surgery and uveitis experienced extremely high intraocular pressure, which significantly decreased following the procedure from 43 mmHg to 16 mmHg over three weeks.
- In Case 2, after experiencing trauma and subsequent eye surgery, another patient faced a similar spike in intraocular pressure that dropped from 64 mmHg to 21 mmHg after the treatment, highlighting the potential of this procedure as a reliable rescue option for acute pressure issues.
