Electron Beam Irradiated Corneal Versus Gamma-Irradiated Scleral Patch Graft Erosion Rates in Glaucoma Drainage Device Surgery

Electron Beam Irradiated Corneal Versus Gamma-Irradiated Scleral Patch Graft Erosion Rates in Glaucoma Drainage Device Surgery

Abstract Introduction Patch graft erosion and implant exposure is a known complication of glaucoma drainage device (GDD) surgery. Recently, electron beam (e-beam) irradiated corneal tissue ha s become available; however, limited data exist on the rates of erosion for e-beam irradiated corneal grafts...
