Abstract

Purpose. The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of surgical treatment of open-angle glaucoma using the Ex-Press® P-200 filtering device and the “Anti-glaucoma A3 implant”.

Materials and methods. Using simple sequential sampling, 52 patients (59 eyes) were divided into 2 groups. The first group was implanted with Ex-Press® P-200, the second – with “Anti-glaucoma implant A3”. The follow-up period for patients ranged from 6 months to three years. At each visit, a standard ophthalmic examination was performed. For tonometry, the ICare TA01i portable non-contact tonometer was used. To assess the stabilization of the glaucoma process, we performed static (threshold) automatic perimetry using the Pericom perimeter and optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the optic nerve heads using a Spectralis HRA-OCT tomograph (Heidelberg Engineering).

Conclusions. The implantation of devices of both types led to a persistent decrease in intraocular pressure, maintenance of visual functions, and stabilization of the glaucoma process. Intra- and postoperative complications corresponded to the nature of filtering procedures and did not have significant differences in the groups. However, cases of shunt erosion were noted only in the group with implanted Ex-Press® devices.
