Aurolab Artificial Drainage Implant is a non resistant tube device based on Baerveldt implant. It reduces intra ocular pressure by draining aqueous from anterior chamber into sub-conjunctival space formed around base of the implant. Reduction of intraocular pressure prevents further damage to optic nerve and functional visual field loss in advanced refractory glaucoma.
