Background: Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide and is particularly challenging to treat in its refractory forms. The Ahmed valve offers a potential solution for these difficult cases. This research aims to assess the initial clinical experience with Ahmed valve implantation in Romania, evaluating its effectiveness, associated complications, and overall patient outcomes over a five-year period. Methods: We conducted a prospective study on 50 patients who underwent Ahmed valve implantation due to various types of glaucoma. Patients were monitored at several intervals, up to five years post-surgery. Intraocular pressure and visual acuity were the primary measures of success. Results: On average, patients maintained the intraocular pressure within the targeted range, with the mean intraocular pressure being 17 mmHg 5 years post-surgery. Success, defined as maintaining target intraocular pressure without additional surgery, was achieved in 82% at 1 year, 68% at 3 years, and 60% after 5 years postoperative. Conclusion: Ahmed valve implantation is a viable treatment option for refractory glaucoma, demonstrating significant intraocular pressure reduction and manageable complication rates over a five-year follow-up period. Future research should focus on long-term outcomes and optimization of surgical techniques to further reduce complication rates and improve patient quality of life.
