Prevalence of ciliochoroidal effusion after prophylactic laser iridotomy

What's the Choroid Got to Do With Angle Closure?

“…However, recent studies with new imaging modalities are providing insights into the more complex nature of ACG. Kumar and colleagues 1 at the Singapore National Eye Center confirm previous reports [2][3][4] that eyes with primary angle closure can demonstrate abnormal separations between the choroid and sclera on ultrasonic biomicroscopy (UBM). These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that expansion of the choroid contributes to the development of primary angle closure in some eyes.…”

New findings in the diagnosis and treatment of primary angle-closure glaucoma

“…About the possible complications described in this procedure, postoperative transient focal lenticular and corneal endothelial burns are common. It still discussed the association between this practice and undesired events such as cataract progression, progressive corneal edema, and ciliochoroidal effusion (Lim et al, 2005;Sakai et al, 2003;Schwartz et al, 1988;Yip et al, 2010a,b).…”

Ultrasound Biomicroscopy in Glaucoma: An Update

“…Ciliochoroidal effusion appeared more often in the Ar-LPI group (10 eyes, 52%) than in the Ar-YAG-LPI group. 45 Dada et al 46 studied changes in anterior segment morphology after LPI in primary angle closure (PAC) and primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). They found LPI leads to a widening of the anterior chamber angle and a deepening of the anterior chamber in eyes with PAC.…”
