Summary

This study will determine the effectiveness of Mitomycin-C use in the glaucoma surgery Ahmed valve implantation. Approximately 100 patients will be enrolled, with half receiving the Mitomycin-C treatment and the other half receiving placebo treatment.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Inadequately controlled glaucoma on maximum tolerated medical therapy with intraocular pressure (IOP) greater than or equal to 18 mm Hg.
  • Ahmed Glaucoma Valve (AGV) implantation as the planned surgical procedure.
  • For patients in whom 2 eyes are eligible for enrollment, only the first eligible eye to be implanted is enrolled.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Unwilling or unable to give consent, unwilling to accept randomization, or unable to return for scheduled protocol visits.
  • Pregnant or nursing women.
  • Previous cyclodestruction or glaucoma drainage device (GDD) surgery.
  • Patients with nanophthalmos.
  • Patients with Sturge-Weber syndrome or other conditions associated with elevated episcleral venous pressure.
  • No light perception vision.
  • VA <20/200 in non-study eye.
  • Need for glaucoma surgery combined with other ocular procedures (i.e. cataract extraction, penetrating keratoplasty, or retinal surgery) or anticipated need for additional ocular surgery.
  • Previous scleral buckling procedure or silicone oil present.
  • Uveitic glaucoma.
