    Abstract:

    ·AIM:To analyze the therapeutic effect of Ahmed glaucoma valve(AGV)implantation for silicone oil-induced secondary glaucoma.METHODS:Eleven patients with secondary glaucoma caused by silicone oil received AGV implantation,and were followed up over 1 year.RESULTS:The mean preoperative intraocular pressure(IOP)was 45.35±13.96mmHg.After 1 week,2,3,4 weeks,3,6,12 months IOP was respectively 16.11±4.82,15.98±4.78,15.91±4.78,16.51±4.94,16.66±5.01,16.37±4.90,16.79±5.06mmHg.There were significantly differences between preoperative IOP and each period postoperatively(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:AGV implantation for silicone oil-induced secondary glaucoma is a feasible and effective treatment.
