Tube Erosion
Friday, 24 October, 2025
Rachel Chapman recaps her article, “Tube Erosion,” which was written with Matthew Henderson, MD; Dan Arreaza-Kaufman, MD; Jonathan Eisengart, MD; and Mary Qiu, MD, and was featured in the May/June issue of Glaucoma Today. Glaucoma drainage implants can lower IOP and preserve patients’ vision, but the devices carry the risk of tube erosion, a serious complication that requires prompt surgical management. Ms. Chapman reviews the rates of tube erosion, risk factors, strategies for prevention, and techniques for surgical revision.
