Treatment outcomes of paul versus ahmed glaucoma implants

Both PGI and AGI effectively reduced IOP and the number of IOP-lowering eye drops over an 18-month follow-up period. The PGI demonstrated significantly greater reductions in IOP and IOP-lowering eye drops than AGI at 18 months. The safety profiles of PGI and AGI were comparable.

Abstract

Both PGI and AGI effectively reduced IOP and the number of IOP-lowering eye drops over an 18-month follow-up period. The PGI demonstrated significantly greater reductions in IOP and IOP-lowering eye drops than AGI at 18 months. The safety profiles of PGI and AGI were comparable.
