“…Many studies have evaluated the efficacy of drainage implants, while evaluating graft clarity (Table 2). [53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66] Glaucoma drainage implants (GDIs) are possibly the most successful modality for control of IOP after the fewest treatment procedures. 39,44,64 IOP control has been reported to be 62-96% after 2 years of follow-up.…”

Penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) is associated with an increased risk of secondary glaucoma. The development of glaucoma after PKP is an important risk factor for decreased corneal graft survival. The incidence of glaucoma after corneal transplant as well as the mechanism of developing increased intraocular pressure is reviewed in this paper. Treatments for post-PKP glaucoma include medications, laser, and surgery. The most frequent surgical glaucoma intervention is implantation of a glaucomadrainage device. Recent advances in corneal transplantation surgery may help to decrease corneal failure and the risk of developing post-keratoplasty glaucoma.

“…The management of eyes with glaucoma in the setting of scarred conjunctiva, 4-6 prior failed filtration surgeries, 3,17,18 corneal pathology, 19 inflammation, 20 or neovascularization 13,14 is complex. The glaucoma tube shunt has been shown to be beneficial in such cases.…”

“…1,7 In selective cases, the insertion of the drainage tube into the anterior chamber is contraindicated because of a shallow anterior chamber, [8][9][10] vitreous prolapse, pseudophakia/ aphakia, 11 complicated glaucoma with corneal disease and angle neovascularization, [12][13][14] anterior chamber pathology such as peripheral synechiae secondary to inflammation, corneal disease, previous corneal surgeries (penetrating keratoplasty or kerato prosthesis), 15,16 and failed prior trabeculectomies. 3,7,[17][18][19] In such cases, the glaucoma tube shunt can be inserted through the pars plana with simultaneous pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). A PPV may also be indicated to address vitreous prolapse into the anterior chamber when the tube is positioned in the anterior chamber.…”

“…The risk of conjunctival erosion is increased after implantation in areas of extensive conjunctival scarring, or where episcleral knots of non-absorbable sutures are not buried, or where the tube is placed in a prominent position. Any exposure of implant material should be corrected, either by covering the conjunctival defect or by changing the tube position [23,43]. The defect can be covered using amniotic membrane, autologous or lyophilized sclera, dura or pericard in combination with conjunctival mobilization or advancement [2,4,63].…”
