Corneal decompensation following filtering surgery with the Ex-PRESS(®) mini glaucoma shunt device

PURPOSE: To report a case of corneal decompensation due to the Ex-PRESS(®) mini glaucoma shunt device (Ex-PRESS). PATIENT AND METHODS: A 75-year-old man had pseudoexfoliation glaucoma in his right eye. He underwent filtration surgery with Ex-PRESS. His intraocular pressure was 7 mmHg after 9 months....

description PURPOSE: To report a case of corneal decompensation due to the Ex-PRESS(®) mini glaucoma shunt device (Ex-PRESS). PATIENT AND METHODS: A 75-year-old man had pseudoexfoliation glaucoma in his right eye. He underwent filtration surgery with Ex-PRESS. His intraocular pressure was 7 mmHg after 9 months. RESULTS: We observed partial decompensation of the corneal endothelium adjacent to the filtering bleb. Specular microscopy revealed a marked decrease in the endothelial cell density at the center of the cornea. CONCLUSION: Anterior segment optical coherence tomography is very useful for evaluating corneal edema and the position of Ex-PRESS. It is important to follow up with an examination of the corneal endothelial cells.
