Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe spontaneous vitreous hemorrhage after a session of whole-body vibration training.
Method: This is a case report of a 52-year-old man with no ophthalmic history who presented with a uniocular drop in vision.
Results: Examination showed two areas of vitreous condensations associated with vitreous hemorrhage. Localized posterior vitreous detachment was confirmed on B-scan ultrasound. No retinal breaks were identified.
Conclusion: The effects of whole-body vibration training have been well documented previously and parallels can be drawn with the effects of pneumatic drilling. Only one previous case of vitreous hemorrhage after whole-body vibration has been reported, and the authors urge vigilance in reporting this suspected association.

Purpose: To discuss comprehensively the varied complications after stent-less incisional or excisional minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS).
Method: A review of reported complications after stent-less MIGS procedures including gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT), bent needle goniectomy (BANG), Kahook-dual blade goniotomy, and microincisional trabeculectomy (MIT) published between 2014-2024, were analyzed and summarized.
Results: Apart from hyphema, peripheral anterior synechiae, and intraocular pressure spikes, other vision-threatening complications like cyclodialysis, Descemet's detachment, corneal edema, iridodilalysis, vitreous loss or vitreous hemorrhage can also occur intra- or postoperatively after any incisional or excisional MIGS procedures.
