Management of Uncontrolled Secondary Glaucoma with ExPRESS Glaucoma Minishunt Implantation

The aim of the study was to evaluate the decrease of intraocular pressure and reduction of local as well as total therapy by patients with uncontrolled secondary glaucoma after antiglaucomatous surgery with mini implant ExPRESS.
