Long-term outcomes of Baerveldt glaucoma implant surgery in Japanese patients

This study evaluated the long-term surgical outcomes of Baerveldt glaucoma implant (BGI) surgery in patients with refractory glaucoma (204 eyes/204 patients). Surgical failure was defined by:  21 mmHg), criterion B (IOP > 17 mmHg), or criterion C (IOP > 14 mmHg). Reoperation, loss of light per...

Zusammenfassung:This study evaluated the long-term surgical outcomes of Baerveldt glaucoma implant (BGI) surgery in patients with refractory glaucoma (204 eyes/204 patients). Surgical failure was defined by:  21 mmHg), criterion B (IOP > 17 mmHg), or criterion C (IOP > 14 mmHg). Reoperation, loss of light perception vision, or hypotony also denoted failure. The probability of success at 5 years postoperatively using criteria A, B, and C was 72.4%, 49.7%, and 24.4%, respectively. The mean IOP decreased significantly from 32.7 ± 9.7 mmHg preoperatively to 13.1 ± 3.9 mmHg at 5 years; the mean number of glaucoma medications also decreased from 3.7 ± 1.2 to 1.8 ± 1.9 (both P
