Purpose: To report the effect of subtenon triamcinolone acetonide (TA) injection in the treatment of serous choroidal detachment (SCD) after glaucoma surgery.
Methods: In this prospective case series, patients with persistent, non-resolving, or progressive SCD after glaucoma surgery were enrolled. For those with non-resolving or progressive SCD despite of using systemic corticosteroids, topical atropine and topical steroids, one milliliter of TA (40mg/mL) was injected inferotemporally into the posterior subtenon space.
Results: Sixteen consecutive patients with a mean ± SD age of 70.12 ± 11.12 years were included in this study. After injection of subtenon TA, SCD was completely resolved after 1 to 4 weeks, with deepening of the anterior chamber in all cases. All cases were followed for at least 6 months after the injection with no signs of recurrence.
Conclusion: Subtenon injection of TA is a safe and effective modality of treatment for resolving a persistent or progressive SCD after glaucoma surgeries.

Background: Primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. However, the features of the morphology of Schlemm's canal (SC) in PACG eyes after phacoemulsification with goniosynechialysis (phaco-GSL) surgery are still unknown. This study aimed to evaluate changes in the SC in Chinese patients with PACG after phaco-GSL using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).

Article Synopsis
- - The increase in life expectancy is leading to higher rates of frailty and eye diseases in the elderly, with conditions like cataracts and glaucoma being particularly impactful, resulting in visual impairment that affects daily living and mental health.
- - Visual impairment due to eye diseases is closely linked to cognitive decline, creating a vicious cycle where reduced sensory input worsens cognitive health, leading to issues like depression and social isolation.
- - The review emphasizes the need for early intervention and interdisciplinary care to manage eye diseases and their cognitive implications in the elderly, highlighting the critical role of ophthalmologists in these efforts.
