Two different types of giant bleb formation following Ahmed Glaucoma valve implantation.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aims to present two different types of giant bleb formation following Ahmed Glaucoma Valve (AGV) implantation: an anterior enlarged giant bleb and a posterior enlarged giant bleb.

Observations

In Case 1, a 70-year-old Japanese male underwent AGV implantation for neovascular glaucoma in his right eye (OD). Preoperatively, the patient's intraocular pressure (IOP) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were 23 mmHg and 0.6, respectively, OD, while using 3 antiglaucoma topical medications. Two months post-surgery, the patient began experiencing double vision. Slit lamp evaluation revealed no abnormalities, IOP and BCVA were 24.0 mmHg and 0.8, respectively, OD. A posteriorly enlarged bleb in the superotemporal quadrant OD was found to be causing displacement o
