Abstract

Abstract: Glaucoma drainage device implantation can be complex and challenging, particularly in patients with conjunctival scarring. However, in this case, involving a young man with refractory glaucoma who had undergone multiple ocular surgeries, the implantation of a Paul glaucoma drainage device was successfully performed after the application of extraocular muscle bridle sutures. The patient exhibited a stable intraocular pressure ranging from 12 to 18 mmHg without antiglaucoma medication during the 3-month follow-up period. Thus, this surgical technique improves the accuracy and ease of inferior-temporal quadrant glaucoma drainage implantation, resulting in good treatment outcomes.
