Ocular hypotony and choroidal effusion following bleb needling.
A choroidal effusion, hypotony, and a shallow anterior chamber developed in a patient following a transconjunctival needling revision of an encapsulated filtering bleb. While choroidal effusions occur frequently following filtration surgery, to our knowledge, this complication has not been previously reported following a filtering bleb needle revision.
