Causes of choroidal detachment secondary to ophthalmic surgery
The occurrence of choroidal detachment is mainly related to decreased intraocular pres-sure,choroidal circulation disorders,and choroidal inflammation.The reasons for secondary choroidal de-tachment after glaucoma surgery include the use of preoperative antiglaucoma drugs,postoperative low in-traocular pressure,the use of anti-metabolic drugs,systemic factors,etc.The reasons for secondary choroi-dal detachment after vitrectomy surgery include surgical operation issues,properties of intraoperative vitreous cavity filling,application of fundus laser,incision leakage,etc.The reasons for secondary choroidal detach-ment after scleral buckling surgery include high myopia,tight pressure during buckling,and posterior posi-tioning.There have also been cases of secondary choroidal detachment during intravitreal injection.This re-view aims to enhance the understanding of choroidal detachment among ophthalmologists,thereby facilitating preventive measures to mitigate its occurrence.(Int Rev Ophthalmol,2024,48:460-463)
