Relationship between Glaucoma Drainage Device Size and Intraocular Pressure Control: Does Size Matter?

There is ambiguity in the literature regarding whether a larger glaucoma drainage device (GDD) achieves a lower long-term intraocular pressure (IOP). There is some evidence on both sides, but overall there seems to be an optimal surface area of approximately 200-250 mm(2) beyond which there may be l...

description There is ambiguity in the literature regarding whether a larger glaucoma drainage device (GDD) achieves a lower long-term intraocular pressure (IOP). There is some evidence on both sides, but overall there seems to be an optimal surface area of approximately 200-250 mm(2) beyond which there may be little advantage to increasing the plate size for most patients.
