PURPOSE: To evaluate the outcomes of the Ex-PRESS Filtration Device in patients with uveitic glaucoma.
METHODS: We reviewed 23 eyes, comparing control simple glaucoma patients (n = 11) to uveitic glaucoma patients (n = 12). Intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma medications at the preoperative examination were compared with those at the 6-month and 10-14-month postoperative examination. Surgical success was defined as ≥25% decrease in intraocular pressure without hypotony, and/or decrease in glaucoma medications at 6 months follow-up.
RESULTS: Statistically significant reduction in mean IOP from preoperative levels occurred in both groups at 6 months follow-up (p<0.0001) and 10-14 months follow-up (p = 0.0007) and in the mean number of medications in the uveitic glaucoma (UG) group (p = 0.0313).
CONCLUSIONS: Surgical success was seen in 10 eyes in the control group (90.9%) and nine eyes (75%) in the UG group (p = 0.314). Ex-PRESS implantation is an effective surgical intervention for the management of uveitic glaucoma.
