A Short Survey on Currently Used Experimental Setupsfor Testing Glaucoma Drainage Devices

Abstract

Commonly used glaucoma drainage devices have many disadvantageouscircumstancesespecially inpostoperative period such as hypotony, flammation, etc. There are great efforts to overcome these problemsin literature. Researchershave investigated glaucoma drainage devicesby in-vivo, ex-vivo and in-vitroexperimental setups and tried to overcome their disadvantages. In this study,one branch of them, in-vitroexperimental setups currently usedin testing of glaucoma drainage devices are surveyed.
