A Comparison of Sequential Glaucoma Drainage Device Implantation Versus Cyclophotocoagulation Following Failure of a Primary Drainage Device.

Sequential GDD and CPC are both effective at reducing IOP following the failure of a primary GDD.

Glaucoma drainage devices: risk of exposure and infection.

Implant location approached, but did not reach, statistical significance as a risk factor for exposure.

Ophthalmologist-patient communication, self-efficacy, and glaucoma medication adherence.

These findings indicate that provider education about how to administer glaucoma drops and patient glaucoma medication adherence self-efficacy are associated positively with adherence.
