obscuring the view to the optic nerve head. (b) Ultrasonography of the right
eye showing 360 degree choroidal detachment occupying two-thirds of the
globe. (c) Postoperative color fundus photo of the right eye showing

His acuity was 20/400, IOP was 15 mmHg, the bleb was flat, the anterior chamber was shallow, and his fundus exam showed a 360 degree choroidal detachment (Figure 1(a)) that was further confirmed by ultrasonography (Figure 1(b)). First-day post-operatively, IOP was 16 mmHg, the anterior chamber was deep, and fundus examination confirmed the presence of a flat retina without choroidal effusion (Figure 1(c)).

IOP was 8 mmHg, the anterior chamber was flat (Figure 2), and the choroidal detachment was unchanged. In view of the bullous detachment and flat anterior chamber, the plan was to proceed with choroidal drainage and anterior chamber reformation.
