Abstract
PURPOSE. To study the incidence and characteristics of ciliochoroidal detachment (CCD) at different time points following minimally invasive glaucoma surgery in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
METHODS. Among 4 513 patients who underwent surgery for POAG between 2020 and 2024, 75 patients (75 eyes; 1.7%) with postoperative CCD were selected. The mean age was 73.5±8.8 years. Two groups were formed: group 1 (54 patients) with CCD developing within the first 3 days after glaucoma surgery, and group 2 (21 patients) with CCD developing later than 3 days postoperatively.
RESULTS. CCD developed more frequently within the first 3 days after glaucoma surgery (54 vs 21 eyes). Early CCD occurred more often in men (38 vs 16), whereas no sex differences were observed in late CCD. No significant differences between groups were found in mean age, ocular morphometric parameters, POAG stages, structure of somatic pathology, glaucoma duration, baseline and postoperative intraocular pressure, or the number and classes of medications used. Late CCD occurred more frequently after cyclophotocoagulation (19% vs 1.9%, p=0.031). Early CCD showed no characteristic features regarding the prevalence of subchoroidal fluid, whereas late CCD was typically limited to 1–2 quadrants (81%).
CONCLUSION. The identified differences in the development of CCD depending on the time period after glaucoma surgery have clinical relevance for its timely diagnosis and treatment.
