XEN Gel Implant can dislocate into the anterior chamber, increasing endothelial cell loss in an eye already underwent multiple surgical procedures with subsequent adverse events. Therefore, if the implant seems displaced, the endothelial cell density should be monitored, and the length of the free-tube segment within the anterior chamber should be measured, during the patient's follow-up.
