Primary baerveldt versus trabeculectomy study after 5 years of follow-up.

Our study demonstrates that, in the long term, the final IOP and failure rate are similar after TE and BGI surgery.

Primary Baerveldt versus trabeculectomy study after one-year follow-up.

One year after surgery, TE shows better results than the BGI.

Motility Changes and Diplopia After Baerveldt Glaucoma Drainage Device Implantation or After Trabeculectomy.

BGI surgery was significantly associated with postoperative diplopia and impaired eye motility (reduced ductions), mostly present in abduction, elevation, elevation in 25° adduction, and elevation in 25° abduction.

The long-term postoperative effect of the Baerveldt glaucoma drainage device and of a trabeculectomy on the corneal endothelium.

Long-term ECD in eyes that underwent a BGI was considerably lower compared with eyes that underwent a TE, mainly in the peripheral cornea.

Ocular motility changes and diplopia in sutured versus unsutured implantation of the Baerveldt glaucoma device.

One year postoperatively, the prevalence of diplopia was not significantly different between patients with the sutured plate and patients with the free plate technique.
