NEW DRAINAGE FOR REFRACTORY GLAUCOMA TREATMENT ^{[№ 12 ' 2012]}
A new drainage based on a polymer material containing mitomycin C was proposed. A low concentration of mitomycin C with its gradual release and local influence minimizes the toxic effects of the drug on the eye tissues. At the clinic this drainage was evaluated in 8 patients with end-stage of glaucoma. In the long-term follow-up (one year) the hypotensive effect was 87.5%.
