Severe iritis and choroidal effusion following selective laser trabeculoplasty
1University Hospitals Case Medical Center, Cleveland, Ohio 44106, USA.
Abstract:
A patient with uncontrolled primary open-angle glaucoma underwent selective laser trabeculoplasty and developed a significant anterior chamber reaction, shallow anterior chamber, and choroidal effusion. Common complications associated with selective laser trabeculoplasty include conjunctival injection, mild anterior chamber reaction, and post-treatment intraocular pressure elevation. The authors believe this is the first reported case of severe iritis and choroidal effusion following selective laser trabeculoplasty.
