title: Starflo glaucoma implant: early experience in Hungary.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present the early experience with the implantation technique, safety and efficiency of STARflo device for open angle glaucoma (OAG).
  
  
  METHODS
  referring intra- and postoperative clinical experience with a series of seven cases in three glaucoma centers in Hungary.
  
  
  RESULTS
  No intraoperative complications were observed. Postoperative inflammatory signs disappeared rapidly. The mean IOP reduction was from 27.6 ± 5.0 mmHg to 18.9 ± 3.4 mmHg (32% reduction/ patient) at six months postoperatively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  STARflo implant was safe and (except for one case with neovascular glaucoma) effective in our cases. The learning curve for experienced anterior segment surgeons was short.
