Initial Clinical Experience with Ahmed Valve in Romania: Five-Year Patient Follow-Up and Outcomes
Ahmed valve implantation is a viable treatment option for refractory glaucoma, demonstrating significant intraocular pressure reduction and manageable complication rates over a five-year follow-up period. Future research should focus on long-term outcomes and optimization of surgical techniques to further reduce complication rates and improve patient quality of life.
