Abstract
Vitreous prolapse is a condition in which the vitreous gel is displaced into the anterior chamber, typically caused by a ruptured posterior lens capsule or a zonular defect. Choroidal effusion, characterized by fluid accumulation in the suprachoroidal space, is a common complication of glaucoma surgery and ocular hypotonia. We present a case of a 53-year-old male who developed vitreous prolapse following choroidal effusion and hypotonia after Ahmed glaucoma valve surgery.
