Severe iritis and choroidal effusion following selective laser trabeculoplasty

Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging. 2008 Sep-Oct;39(5):409-11. doi: 10.3928/15428877-20080901-10.

Abstract

A patient with uncontrolled primary open-angle glaucoma underwent selective laser trabeculoplasty and developed a significant anterior chamber reaction, shallow anterior chamber, and choroidal effusion. Common complications associated with selective laser trabeculoplasty include conjunctival injection, mild anterior chamber reaction, and post-treatment intraocular pressure elevation. The authors believe this is the first reported case of severe iritis and choroidal effusion following selective laser trabeculoplasty.
