Abstract Purpose:This study examined the mid-term postoperative results of glaucoma tube shunt surgery(EX-PRESS®).

Methods:Thirty-four eyes with open-angle glaucoma that could be followed up for at least 36 months after the Express procedure were analyzed. The control group included 33 eyes that underwent trabeculectomy(LEC)at the same time. We retrospectively compared intraocular pressure(IOP), cumulative survival rate, and postoperative complications between the groups.

Results:The IOP decreased significantly in both groups during the observation period as compared with the preoperative as level. Cumulative survival rates were not significantly different between the two groups(79.4% in the Express group and 72.7% in the LEC group). The pre- and postoperative reduction rate of corneal endothelial cell density was 4.2% in the Express group and 5.4% in the LEC group. Severe postoperative complications, such as low ocular pressure maculopathy and follicular infection, were observed in the LEC group but not in the Express group. In the Express group, a preoperative IOP of 30 mmHg or higher was a poor prognostic factor.

Conclusion:The Express procedure is as effective as LEC in lowering IOP and has fewer postoperative complications than LEC. However, caution should be exercised in selecting procedure in patients with high preoperative IOP.
