Purpose: To describe a case of zonisamide-induced bilateral choroidal effusion.
Case Report: A 72-year-old woman presented with a 4-day history of bilateral blurred vision 9 days after initiating oral zonisamide for essential tremor. Clinical examination revealed an asymmetric choroidal detachment with open anterior chamber angle and intraocular pressure within the normal range.
In recent years, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery has emerged as a novel approach to lowering intraocular pressure. This technique, which is usually reserved for mild to moderate cases, is less invasive than classic filtration surgery and potentially offers a better safety profile. The XEN Gel Stent is implanted through a minimally invasive, ab interno procedure to create a subconjunctival pathway.

Methods: A retrospective case series of 19 patients undergoing Ahmed implant surgery for refractory glaucoma with a mean follow-up of 12 months. Primary outcome measures included control of intraocular pressure after surgery.
