We investigate the development of ciliochoroidal effusion following micropulse transscleral laser therapy (MPTLT) and evaluate the relationship between the early postoperative ciliochoroidal effusion (ECE) and short-term treatment outcomes. Glaucoma patients who underwent MPTLT were assessed for ciliochoroidal effusion by anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) at postoperative 1, 4, 12 weeks. The subjects were classified based on AS-OCT findings at postoperative 1 week into eyes with and without ECE. The absolute intraocular pressure (IOP), IOP reduction and number of antiglaucoma medications were compared between eyes with and without ECE. A total of 50 eyes were included, of which 23 (46%) developed ciliochoroidal effusion at postoperative 1 week. Almost all effusion resolved at 4 weeks. At 12 weeks, the mean IOP (SD) significantly decreased from 28.5 (12.8) mmHg to 17.8 (10.5) mmHg (p < 0.001), and the mean number of medications (SD) decreased from 4.1 (0.9) to 3.3 (1.1) (p < 0.001). Eyes with ECE had significantly greater IOP reduction (p = 0.009) and lower absolute IOP (p = 0.008) at the 4-week visit. There was no significant difference in number of medications between the groups. In conclusion, ciliochoroidal effusion was commonly observed following MPTLT. Eyes with ECE had overall greater IOP reduction during early post-operation.

A 73-year-old male with a history of incidentally diagnosed Paget disease of bone affecting the skull and left orbit 2 years prior presented with 3 months of vision loss, proptosis, and periorbital swelling of the OS. Examination showed best-corrected Snellen visual acuity of 20/150 in the affected eye, intact motility, 7 mm of relative proptosis, significant dilated and tortuous "corkscrew" conjunctival vessels, serous choroidal and retinal detachments, optic nerve hyperemia, and venous tortuosity and dilation. Although the bony lesions in the left orbit were stable from 1 year prior on imaging, the diagnostic angiogram demonstrated osseous blush and hypervascularity of the lesion.

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.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates whether the thickness of anterior scleral substantia propria (ASSP) can predict responses to half-dose photodynamic therapy (PDT) in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) over a 3-month period.
- Conducted in multiple hospitals in Italy and Switzerland, the research involved 109 Caucasian patients, focusing on clinical data and optical coherence tomography measurements to categorize different CSCR phenotypes and their ASSP thickness.
- Results indicated that thicker ASSP is associated with complex CSCR and a higher likelihood of PDT non-responsiveness, emphasizing its potential role in understanding CSCR's severity and treatment outcomes.
