Abstract
PURPOSE
We report two cases of tube erosion after Ahmed valve implantation, treated with Amniotic Membrane Transplantation. METHODS: Erosion of conjunctiva over tube occured in 2 female patients with Ahmed valve implantation. They were treated with pericardial patch grafts and conjunctival free graft with amniotic membrane epithelial side up transplantation. RESULTS: No recurrent tube erosion has been found since then. Intraocular pressure has been maintained well for 12-14 months of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: In cases of tube erosion, additional amniotic membrane transplantation can improve surgical success.
