A novel suprachoroidal microinvasive glaucoma implant: in vivo biocompatibility and biointegration

A novel suprachoroidal microinvasive glaucoma implant: in vivo biocompatibility and biointegration

Abstract Background A major challenge for any glaucoma implant is their ability to provide long-term intraocular pressure lowering efficacy. The formation of a low-permeability fibrous capsule around the device often leads to obstructed drainage channels, which may impair the drainage function of de...
