We performed a new technique described by Schocket et al. in 6 cases of advanced, uncontrolled glaucoma and 2 cases of neovascular glaucoma. A silicone tube was inserted into the anterior chamber and aqueous was shunted through the tube to a reservoir around the encircling band. After a mean follow up of 103 days, 8 eyes (100%) had a successful outcome with the intraocular pressure below 20 mm Hg. Thus we recommend this procedure rather than destructive surgery in the treatment of advanced, uncontrolled glaucoma and neovascular glaucoma.
