- Description
- This eye was a tough one. The patient underwent PPV twice, the second one with silicone oil (SO) for retinal re-detachment. Due to the development of secondary glaucoma, silicone oil evacuation and lavage of the anterior chamber were performed. Because of the high IOP even after the evacuation, the XEN was implanted. The surgery was followed by choroidal detachment presented in the picture on the left side along with the residual silicone bubble superiorly. The retinal tear is captured inferiorly surrounded by laser spots. The second image (on the right) was taken only 7 days later and it shows that choroidal detachment in the eye resolved completely.
