Uveal Effusion Syndrome as a complication of cyclodiode therapy in nanophthalmos glaucoma

Sir,

A 46-year-old woman with nanophthalmos (Table 1) presented with progressive angle closure, pain, and raised intraocular pressure (IOP) in her left eye. She was intolerant of topical antihypertensive agents. She had small, tilted optic discs, and repeated automated Humphrey visual field testing confirmed a left nasal step visual field defect. Bilateral Nd:YAG peripheral iridotomies were performed, which resulted in deepening of the anterior chambers, however, the left IOP continued to remain elevated (25–30 mm Hg).
