Summary

Objective: Prospectively evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Ahmed Glaucoma Drainage Device, model M4 compared with the model S2. Method: Mexican patients with Neovascular Glaucoma will be randomly included for each group (M4 and S2). They will be operated using conventional techniques and creating a sub-episcleral tunnel to place the valve's tube in the anterior chamber. They will be monitoring for one year and the results will be evaluated with respect to a postoperative reduction in pressure, changes in visual acuity, the need for drugs and complications, in addition to the demographic characteristics of each group.
