Macular involvement is commonly seen in cases with X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) which includes foveal schisis and cystic maculopathy. Although no definitive treatment has been described, the use of topical 2% dorzolamide hydrochloride in such cases has shown varied response. We herein report a case of XLRS with foveal schisis showing good response to topical dorzolamide. This case highlights the importance of topical dorzolamide in a patient with XLRS.

Introduction: Intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents are a primary management option for retinal diseases. Acute elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP) is a complication associated with these injections that should be considered. This study investigated and compared the prophylactic effects of fixed combination anti-glaucoma medication on IOP spikes following intravitreal anti-VEGF injections.

We report a case of unilateral serous choroidal effusion in a patient without prior glaucoma surgeries that developed within 1 week of starting topical dorzolamide. A Caucasian female in her 60s with a history of severe primary open-angle glaucoma in the left eye without prior glaucoma surgeries developed irritation and subsequently blurry vision in her left eye within 1 week of starting topical dorzolamide 2% in the left eye only. Funduscopic exam and B-scan ultrasound demonstrated a serous choroidal effusion in the nasal and temporal periphery.

Trabeculectomy is a primary surgical procedure used to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma. Despite its effectiveness, it can lead to significant complications, including hypotony, choroidal effusion, blebitis, and bleb leaks. Bleb leaks require prompt medical or surgical intervention to prevent severe complications such as blebitis and bleb-associated endophthalmitis.
