1. INTRODUCTION

Flat anterior chambers (ACs) and choroidal effusions are well described complications of

glaucoma filtration surgery, including trabeculectomy and drainage implant surgery. More

common during the era of full-thickness glaucoma filtration surgery, both complications

became less frequent with guarded trabeculectomy. However, with anti-metabolite use,

particularly mitomycin C (MMC), they have become more common once more. Preopera-

tive planning can reduce their occurrence and timely treatment prevents adverse outcomes.
