CASE REPORT: The first case is described on a patient with Urrets-Zavalía syndrome after Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK) in whom an ExPRESS implant was used. DISCUSSION: The ExPRESS implant is a useful tool for complex cases of post-surgical glaucoma where patients need to avoid post-operative inflammation and risks (corneal transplant patients). It is also very useful in cases with a high risk of fibrosis due to previous interventions.
