Zusammenfassung:Purpose Report annual benchmark exercise of aqueous shunt implants (tubes) outcomes and risk factors for failure over 4 years. Methods Retrospective cases series: Annual reporting of outcomes of tube implants. A total of 332 eyes were included in this study. The main outcomes were intra‐ocular pressure (IOP), loss of visual acuity (VA), number of medications and failure/visually threatening complications at 1‐year follow‐up. Results Surgical success rate was 93% at a mean follow‐up of 13.3 months. Compared to preoperative IOP (25.8 ± 7.9 mmHg), the mean postoperative IOP was significantly lower (14.4 ± 5.5 mmHg, p
