Abstract

The surgical management of uveal effusion syndrome (UES) is challenging. The aim is to create a durable, low-resistance pathway for choroidal fluid to exit. Here we are presenting surgical correction being done in each type of UES. Partial thickness sclerectomy and vortex vein deroofing was done in all cases, and the eye with Type 3 UES underwent external drainage of subretinal fluid in addition. Best corrected visual acuity improved in Type 1 UES eye, remained stable in the Type 2 UES eye and there was improvement followed by worsening in Type 3 UES eye. Central macular thickness decreased at 1 month follow up and inferior exudative retinal detachment was found to be subsiding in each follow up in all the eyes.
