Complication of micro-bypass stenting: the anterior chamber displacement of a Xen implant

Arq Bras Oftalmol. 2018;81(6):514-516. doi: 10.5935/0004-2749.20180098. Epub 2018 Oct 11.

Abstract

Although minimally invasive glaucoma surgery using different types of implants is a promising strategy for treating glaucoma, potential long-term complications require further evaluation. Here, we report a case of the anterior chamber displacement of a Xen implant due to a maneuver aimed at correcting a dysfunctional and bent subconjunctival implant.
