Conclusion: Glaucoma type did not significantly affect post-GDD cumulative rates of reoperation, corneal graft, and VT-complication among the OAG, PXE, and NVG groups. For all eyes, cumulative rates of reoperation, corneal graft, and VT-complications increased beyond 5 years. The Ahmed FP7 had a significantly higher cumulative reoperation rate compared with the Baerveldt 350 over time.
