Purpose of ReviewTo discuss the relevant clinical associations between glaucoma drainage device (GDD) implantation and health of the cornea, focusing on corneal endothelial disease and success of viability of keratoplasty.Recent FindingsCorneal endothelial injury and risk of graft failure continues to demonstrate association with GDD placement; however, newer studies demonstrate improved outcomes associated with Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty. Additionally, newer adverse effects associated with GDD placement have been described.SummaryGDD implantation certainly carries risk of endothelial injury and keratoplasty viability, but newer keratoplasty techniques may improve visual outcomes. Furthermore, attention to placement and location of the GDD may affect the risk of progressive corneal injury.
