Abstract

Abstract: : Purpose:To determine filtering bleb characteristics of successful non–fenestrated S2 Ahmed Glaucoma Valve Implants (AGVI/S2). Methods:20mhz ultrasound evaluations of 9 patients with AGVI/S2. Results: Five patients had a double bleb (DB) indicating fluid anterior (A) and posterior (P) to the AGVI/S2. Bleb Characteristics
