Abstract
- We report one case of implant plate exposure after Ahmed valve implantation, treated with preserved fascia lata transplantation. Exposure of implant occurred in 47-year-old patient with Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation. She was treated with preserved fascia lata graft and amniotic membrane transplantation. No recurrent implant plate exposure has been found since then. Intraocular pressure has been maintained well for 3 months of follow-up. In cases of implant plate exposure, additional preserved fascia lata graft and amniotic membrane transplantation can improve surgical success.
