| Abstract;Purpose: To report the results of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) cases of ciliochoroidal effusion after a lens-induced glaucoma attack. Cases: Case 1 was an 83-year-old female. She had shallow anterior chamber with expanded cataract with exfoliation in her right eye. Intraocular pressure (IOP) of the right eye was 64 mmHg. On the next day, TOP was reduced to 16 mmHg by conservative therapy. UBM showed circumference ciliochoroidal effusion in the right eye. On the 5th day, TOP increased to 38 mmHg. UBM was repeated and showed the disappearance of ciliochoroidal effusion. On the 9th day, phacoemulsification was done to treat the lens induced glaucoma attack. Two weeks after operation, TOP of the right eye was 6 mmHg and UBM showed ciliochoroidal effusion. Case 2 was an 85-year-old female. She had been diagnosed by an ophthalmologist as having an attack of lens-induced glaucoma in her left eye. IOP was 46 mmHg. When she was referred to us, TOP was decreased to 24 mmHg and ciliochoroidal effusion was observed in her left eye by UBM. Conclusion: We report two cases of ciliochoroidal effusion associated with lens-induced glaucoma attack. UBM is useful to observe changes in the ciliary body after lens-induced glaucoma attack.
