Twenty-five consecutive patients who received an Aurolab aqueous drainage implant were matched by age and diagnosis to patients who received a Baerveldt glaucoma implant. Data were collected pre-operative and post-operative visits, including visual acuity and intraocular pressure, number of medications, and complications. Surgical success was defined as intraocular pressure between 5 and 21\u2009mmHg with a minimum 20% reduction from baseline, without loss of light perception or the need for further glaucoma surgery. Cox regression analysis was used to predict factors associated with surgical success.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The median (interquartile range, IQR) intraocular pressure at 1\u2009year was 16.0 (8.0)\u2009mmHg for the Baerveldt glaucoma implant and 13.0 (8.0)\u2009mmHg for the Aurolab aqueous drainage implant, p\u2009=\u20090.38. Success (mean\u2009\u00b1\u2009SE) at 1\u2009year for the intraocular pressure &gt;21-mmHg failure criterion was 65%\u2009\u00b1\u200915% for the Baerveldt glaucoma implant and 79%\u2009\u00b1\u200911% for the Aurolab aqueous drainage implant (p\u2009=\u20090.80). The frequency of complications listed was similar for the two groups (Fisher\u2019s exact p\u2009=\u20090.71).
