Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of Ahmed valve implantation in the treatment of refractory glaucoma. Methods:Totally 61 patients(63 eyes) with refractory glaucoma underwent surgery using Ahmed glaucoma valve. Changes of intraocular pres-sure and postoperative complications were observed. Follow-up was lasted for 24 months. Results:At one month postoperatively,in-traocular pressure(n=63) was changed from (43.53±6.42) mmHg to (16.29±4.02) mmHg and the success rate was 88.9%. For those eyes with the follow-up≥12 months(n=44),intraocular pressure was (17.16±5.05) mmHg and the success rate was 84.1%. Common postoperative complications included:shallow anterior chamber,hyphema,choroidal detachment,tube blockage,tube-endothe-lial touch,etc. Conclusion:Ahmed valve implantation is one of the effective methods for refractory glaucoma and this method can be widely used in clinics.
