Objective: To analyze the longer-term surgical outcomes of Ahmed and Baerveldt shunt implants in the treatment of refractory glaucoma.Design: Retrospective, nonrandomized, comparative trial.Participants: Consecutive patients who underwent glaucoma shunt implantation (70 Baerveldt, 48 Ahmed) by a single surgeon.Methods: Follow-up retrospective analysis of 118 consecutive cases of refractory glaucoma that required placement of either Ahmed or Baerveldt shunt implants for intraocular pressure (10P) control. The longer term clinical course (survival curve analysis up to 48 months) was reviewed.Main Outcome Measures: The primary outcome measure was surgical success (6 mmHg
