Glycerin-Preserved, Human-Donor, Corneoscleral Patch Grafts for Glaucoma Drainage Devices

Glaucoma drainage device implantation, a 350 mm2 Baerveldt (BG 101-350) GDD (Johnson and Johnson, Santa Ana, CA, USA) was performed using glycerin-preserved, human-donor, corneoscleral tissue ( the remaining from a heterologous, human-donor corneal button, obtained from the International Eye Bank of Thailand, after a clear corneal graft had been used for penetrating keratoplasty.) The tissue had been preserved in glycerin using the sterile technique and kept in a medical refrigerator for no longer than 6 months.
