  • Title: Mini-drainage devices: the Ex-PRESS Mini-Glaucoma Device.
    Author: Rouse JM, Sarkisian SR.
    Journal: Dev Ophthalmol; 2012; 50():90-5. PubMed ID: 22517176.
    Abstract:
    The Ex-PRESS Mini-Glaucoma Device is a glaucoma drainage device used to shunt aqueous from the anterior chamber into a subconjunctival reservoir that is created surgically. It has been used successfully over the last decade with approximately 60,000 implantations worldwide. In an ever-evolving microsurgical environment, the Ex-PRESS glaucoma device is on the forefront of intraocular pressure lowering technology. This chapter aims to review the surgical uses, techniques and considerations of the Ex-PRESS device as well as analyze the current literature detailing the advantages and disadvantages of the Ex-PRESS implant. Special attention will also be placed on the authors' own experience using the device.
