Ibrutinib is an oral, first-line, targeted therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Commonly reported adverse events are diarrhea, fatigue, and musculoskeletal pain, but rarely it has been associated with visual disturbances. Here, we present a rare case of spontaneous hyphema in a 60-year-old patient with a known diagnosis of CLL on ibrutinib treatment.

Purpose: The Foldable Capsular Vitreous Bag (FCVB) implant is useful in maintaining ocular structure in cases of chronic hypotony secondary to trauma or repeated surgery. There are few published reports of long-term outcomes and no indication of the chronic cellular changes of the adjacent tissues associated with FCVB implantation. We describe one of few FCVB cases in the UK and present histological findings associated with it following secondary enucleation.

- A study was conducted to evaluate the occurrence of hyphema (bleeding in the anterior chamber) after PRESERFLO MicroShunt surgery in glaucoma patients and its connection to the tube insertion position.
- Out of 66 eyes reviewed, 23 experienced hyphema, equating to a 35% occurrence rate, with bleeding observed during surgery in 8 cases.
- Despite the high frequency of hyphema, all cases resolved within weeks with stable intraocular pressure and visual acuity, highlighting the need to inform patients about this risk before surgery.

Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) offers options for glaucoma treatment that have generally improved safety profiles compared with filtering surgery. MIGS vary in design and procedure, but all angle-based MIGS function by bypassing or removing aqueous humor outflow resistance at the level of the trabecular meshwork. This can lower intraocular pressure but also remove the blood-aqueous barrier.
