Abstract

Efficacy of Primary AGV Implantation in Angle Recession Glaucoma following blunt ocular trauma In Indian Eyes. A retrospective analytical study included 52 pts of angle recession glaucoma from Mar 2006 to Feb 2016, 38 pts undergone primary AGV implantation while the rest were managed with topical anti-glaucoma medications. Preop data incl age, sex, type & mode of injury, duration of injury, assessment of BCVA & IOP. Gonioscopy done to assess extent of angle recession. IOP, DVA & no of anti-glaucoma drops were measured preop & postop upto 3 yr. The mean duration of follow up was 29.47 ± 3.39 months. The success was analyzed by KM cumulative survival curve.The mean IOP & no of antiglaucoma drugs were reduced at 1 yr & 3 yr showing statistically significant values (p<0.001)at each visit. To conclude in medically uncontrolled post-traumatic angle recession glaucoma, Primary AGV Implantation is a safe and effective surgical procedure providing long term IOP control in younger population.
