Aims: To assess the incidence, risk factors and outcomes of management of delayed suprachoroidal haemorrhage (DSCH) in children who had undergone Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation.
Methods: A retrospective case-control study of eyes which developed DSCH in children <18 years of age who underwent surgery between January 2009 and December 2017 with a follow-up of at least 2 months was performed. Nine cases were compared with 27 age, gender and surgeon matched controls who had undergone surgery during this period.
Interpretation of optic disc cupping and neuroretinal rim is challenging in myopic eyes because of large, shallow, and tilted disc, myopic crescent, and macular degeneration. Color and red-free optic disc photographs do not reveal the cup/disc ratio often in myopic eyes. We report characteristics of multicolor optic disc photography in three myopic eyes.

Slitlamp biomicroscopy [90D & 78D], colour and redfree fundus photography, OCT & HRT are used conventionally for early detection of RNFLD.
