Combination surgery lowers IOP, reduces need for medications
In patients with late IOL dislocation and elevated IOP, transscleral IOL fixation combined with an Ahmed glaucoma drainage device decreased pressure and reduced the number of glaucoma medications needed, according to a study. The retrospective study consisted of 11 eyes of 11 patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, high IOP and late IOL dislocation who underwent transscleral IOL fixation combined with implantation of an Ahmed glaucoma drainage device (New World Medical).
