Enhanced surgical outcomes in refractory glaucoma: a retrospective study of using adjustable sutures with Ex-PRESS filtration device
The addition of adjustable sutures to Ex-PRESS implantation offers superior IOP control, promotes the formation of functioning bleb, and reduces postoperative complications in refractory glaucoma. This technique provides a promising refinement to existing surgical strategies. Further prospective studies are warranted to confirm long-term benefits.
