Glaucoma surgeries targeting the uveoscleral drainage pathways have been drawing
more attention lately. Among all the available techniques, procedures focusing on
the supra-choroidal space seem particularly promising, by making use of a
presumably efficient and secure outflow route and avoiding subconjunctival
filtration blebs. The purpose of this review is to assess the efficacy and the
security of the different suprachoroidal drainage implants, namely the CyPass
Micro-Stent, the iStent Supra, the SOLX Gold Shunt, the Aquashunt, and the
STARflo Glaucoma Implant. Most clinical studies seem to currently point toward
the direction that there are actual benefits in suprachoroidal surgeries by
avoiding bleb-related complications. Nevertheless, even suprachoroidal implants
may be subject to scarring and failure. More data are still needed, especially
concerning long-term effects, although the approach does seem appealing. How to
