    Delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage can occur after filtering surgery in aphakic eyes. Prompt surgical drainage may improve visual outcomes in cases of massive hemorrhage.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Complications
    • Retinal Diseases

    Background:

    • Filtering operations are common surgical procedures for glaucoma.
    • Aphakia, the absence of the eye's lens, can increase surgical risks.
    • Delayed complications following ocular surgery require careful monitoring.

    Observation:

    • Eight cases of delayed nonexpulsive suprachoroidal hemorrhage were identified post-filtering surgery in aphakic eyes.
    • Seven of these cases presented with sustained hypotonia, leading to serous choroidal detachments or scleral infolding prior to the hemorrhage.
    • The severity of the hemorrhage and the intervention strategy influenced patient outcomes.

    Findings:

    • Massive suprachoroidal hemorrhages were associated with poor visual prognosis.

  • Only one patient with a massive hemorrhage achieved visual acuity better than hand motions.
  • This patient had undergone prompt surgical drainage of the suprachoroidal blood.

    • Implications:

    • Sustained hypotonia is a significant risk factor for delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage after filtering surgery in aphakic eyes.
    • Prompt surgical intervention may be crucial for improving visual recovery in severe cases.
    • This highlights the importance of vigilant postoperative monitoring for delayed complications.
