1. INTRODUCTION

Refractory glaucoma, defined as glaucoma not responsive to medical therapy and/or conventional filtration surgery, can be a management challenge. In addition to trabeculectomy

with adjuvant antifibrotic agents (1,2) and cyclodestructive procedures (3,4), glaucoma

drainage implant (GDI) surgery has emerged as a management option in these difficult

cases (5-7).
