Ahmed Glaucoma Valve Implantation in African American and White Patients

Initial Clinical Experience with Ahmed Valve in Romania: Five-Year Patient Follow-Up and Outcomes

“…Correlating the incidence of glaucoma with age and gender, we found that our patient cohort predominantly consisted of older adults, with a higher prevalence in males. This demographic trend aligns with the existing literature, which indicates that age and male gender are significant risk factors for glaucoma [2,6,22,25].…”

Ahmed Glaucoma Valve Implantation for Refractory Glaucoma in a Tertiary Hospital in Brazil

“…According to the multivariate analysis, African American descent was significantly associated with risk of failure. This finding is in agreement with a previous study from Ishida and Netland, where 86 eyes from 43 African Americans and 43 Caucasian patients were followed for an average of 2.5 years after AGV implantation [14]. In their study, two different definitions for success were adopted.…”

Long-term outcomes of ahmed glaucoma valve implantation in refractory glaucoma at Farabi Eye Hospital, Tehran, Iran

“…Surgical success rates for glaucoma shunting procedures vary in published studies from 20% 32 to 98%. 20 However, because of differences in the study population, type of implants, and the duration of follow-up, the results are not directly comparable to our study. Hence, it is tenous at best to make a globally valid conclusion about the efficacy of the procedure for the refractory glaucoma cases.…”
