| Abstract | PURPOSE: To report the efficacy of additional glaucoma drainage device (GDD) insertion in eyes with refractory glaucoma and which have a failed primary GDD. METHODS: We conducted a non-comparative, retrospective study on eight eyes of eight patients who had a failed primary GDD and received an additional GDD in the same eye. Intraocular pressure (IOP), visual acuity (VA), the number of anti-glaucomatous medications, and complications were analyzed during the most recent office visit. Success was defined as an IOP between 6 and 21 mmHg and a 20% decrease in IOP after additional GDD insertion, with or without anti-glaucomatous medication. RESULTS: The mean decrease in IOP at the final follow-up was 19.3 mmHg (56.1%). The mean number of anti-glaucomatous medications used at the final follow-up (2.38) was significantly less than the preoperative mean (3.50). Seven patients achieved the criteria for success, whereas one patient had an unsuccessful outcome because of corneal graft failure after additional GDD insertion. CONCLUSIONS: We showed that after the failure of a primary GDD, an additional GDD offered favorable IOP control and stable VA. In agreement with a review of previous literature, GDD insertion is the best option for treating refractory glaucoma, even in patients with a failed primary GDD. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
