Figure

  • Fig. 1 (A) Photograph of a modified Baerveldt glaucoma implant with a Finetube, and (B) schematic of a tube with an intraluminal stent. The conventional tube of the Baerveldt glaucoma implant (white arrow) has been replaced using a smaller tube with an intraluminal stent (blue arrow, A). Aqueous flow through the tube can be increased by retracting this stent if necessary (B).
