Intraluminal deposits: A rare cause of glaucoma drainage implant total obstruction

CONCLUSIONS: Our study describes a new cause of total obstruction GDI tubes. The long-term use of timolol maleate and brinzolamide and their presence in the intraluminal solid sample collected from the blocked GDI tube suggest that the glaucoma medication may have a role in the pathogenesis. However, the exact mechanism is unknown and requires further studies.PMID:35575733 | DOI:10.1177/11206721221100074
