Helping Patients With Low Vision Administer Eye Drops

Ahmed Glaucoma Valve to Mitigate Post-Injection IOP Elevation
On Glaucoma Case Files, Joseph F. Panarelli, MD; Manjool Shah, MD; and Arsham Sheybani, MD, recap a case of a patient with pseudoexfoliative glaucoma who was receiving anti-VEGF injections to treat wet age-related macular degeneration. Dr. Panarelli describes his rationale for Ahmed Glaucoma Valve (New World Medical) implantation. He notes that anti-VEGF injections could have caused IOP elevations and acute damage to the optic nerve. The surgeons also discuss the pros and cons of alternative surgical interventions.
