Ciliochoroidal effusion and its association with the outcomes of micropulse transscleral laser therapy in glaucoma patients: a pilot study.

ABSTRACT: We investigate the development of ciliochoroidal effusion following micropulse transscleral laser therapy (MPTLT) and evaluate the relationship between the early postoperative ciliochoroidal effusion (ECE) and short-term treatment outcomes. Glaucoma patients who underwent MPTLT were assessed for ciliochoroidal effusion by anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) at postoperative 1, 4, 12 weeks. The subjects were classified based on AS-OCT findings at postoperative 1 week into eyes with and without ECE. The absolute intraocular pressure (IOP), IOP reduction and number of antiglaucoma medications were compared between eyes with and without ECE. A total of 50 eyes were included, of which 23 (46%) developed ciliochoroidal effusion at postoperative 1 week. Almost all effusion reso
