A glaucoma drainage device regulator (GDDR) is disclosed which comprises a membrane and a lumen to regulate the flow of aqueous in conjunction with different ocular (e.g., glaucoma) filtering procedures. In connection with aqueous shunting, the GDDR can be placed over the tip of a shunt tube in the anterior chamber, either at the time of initial surgery or also in devices which have been previously implanted. In connection with trabeculectomy, the GDDR can comprise a flange for seating the GDDR at the sclerostomy in trabeculectomy surgery.
