Endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation is a relatively safe cyclodestructive procedure with a lower complication rate compared to trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation. Serous choroidal detachment is a complication that has been reported following endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation; however, it is usually mild and transient. A case of bullous choroidal detachment with a flat anterior chamber requiring drainage after endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation is presented, along with a discussion on the risk factors precipitating such complication.

Objective: To compare endophthalmitis rates after cataract extraction in patients with different preoperative prophylaxis: double povidone-iodine preparation with topical antibiotics versus a control group.
Methods: All cases of postoperative endophthalmitis over the last 17 years were reviewed. Incidence rates of endophthalmitis for all cataract surgeries (current procedural terminology codes 66982 and 66984) performed by 26 surgeons were calculated.

Article Synopsis
- * Endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) is a key treatment method that works by reducing the production of aqueous humor through the coagulation of the ciliary body, and has been in use since the 1990s.
- * The review discusses the technology used in ECP, its effectiveness compared to other treatments, its current clinical use, possible postoperative complications, and how ECP’s role in glaucoma treatment is expected to grow and adapt with new advancements.
Corneal Endothelial Graft Failure After Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation: A Case Report.

Article Synopsis
- A 69-year-old Japanese woman with severe glaucoma and a history of multiple eye surgeries experienced corneal endothelial graft failure after having endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) to manage high intraocular pressure (IOP).
- She underwent two DSAEK procedures, with the second one initially successful but ultimately leading to graft failure after subsequent ECP treatment.
- The case highlights the need for careful decision-making regarding ECP in patients with existing corneal endothelial issues.

Casey Eye Institute, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, OR, USA.
Purpose: The Hydrus microstent was approved by the FDA in August 2018 for use with cataract surgery to reduce IOP in patients with mild to moderate primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). Pivotal clinical trials demonstrated its overall safety and efficacy in lowering IOP. However, malpositioning of the implant can result in uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema (UGH) syndrome necessitating device explantation.
