Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients with suprachoroidal drainage devices.
Methods: The authors describe 4 cases of patients presenting with preoperative intraocular pressures (IOP) between 30-40 mmHg, under triple glaucoma medication and history of multiple intraocular surgeries, who underwent suprachoroidal drainage device (Star...
Objective/Purpose: The authors present a retrospective study of 30 eyes of 26 patients with Fuchs dystrophy treated with Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty and compare its association with cataract surgery.
