Abstract :Commonly used glaucoma dr ainage devices have many disadvantageous circumstances especially in postoperative period such as hypotony, flammation, etc. There are great efforts to overcome these problems in literature. Researchers have investigated glaucoma drainage devices by in-vivo, ex-vivo and in-vitro experimental setups and tried to overcome their disadvantages. In this study, one branch of them, in-vitro experimental setups currently used in testing of glaucoma drainage devices are surveyed.Keywords : Glaucoma drainage devices, in-vitro experimental setups, intraocular pressure, microfluidics
