The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Aurolab Artificial Drainage Implant (AADI) on intraocular pressure reduction in patients with refractory glaucoma.
Aurolab Artificial Drainage Implant is a non resistant tube device based on Baerveldt implant. It reduces intra ocular pressure by draining aqueous from anterior chamber into sub-conjunctival space formed around base of the implant. Reduction of intraocular pressure prevents further damage to optic nerve and functional visual field loss in advanced refractory glaucoma.
