ABSTRACT
The baerveldt implant is a relatively new glaucoma drainage device. It offers the advantages of a large surface area implant (350 or 425 mm2), yet requires only a single quadrant conjunctival incision for insertion. Its features make it easier to install than other large implants. The authors herein describe currently a vailable Baerveldt implants, and the operative procedure for their installation.
