Event or Problem Description
|
|
A new glaucoma surgery is planned for the left eye (new ahmed valve in the superior nasal sector).Given the lack of filtration from the previous valve in that eye (absence of the valvular ampulla, free internal ostium of the tube, and increased intraocular pressure), and considering the possibility of failure in the valve's drainage mechanism, this surgery is being considered.
