This article presents the results of experimental research of nanostructured track membranes implantation as drainage for refractory glaucoma surgery. For nanostructuring of the membrane surface was applied a treatment by air plasma. Tissues reaction of rabbit’s eyes to drainage implantation was studied in the experiment in vivo. The histological research data demonstrate that the reaction of the inflammatory cells to drainage was minimal. After antiglaucomatous operation filtering blebs were split and plane and in all the cases resulted in a stable hypotensive effect.
