[1] Fundus examination may reveal abnormalities like chorioretinal folds, optic nerve head swelling (papilledema) and tortuosity of blood vessels.
[3][4] Increased outflow or aqueous loss may occur following a glaucoma surgery, trauma, post-surgical wound leak from the eye, cyclodialysis cleft, tractional ciliary body detachment or retinal detachment.
[3] Use of anti fibrosis drugs like mitomycin C during glaucoma surgery will increase the risk of hypotony maculopathy development.
[5][2] Medical ultrasound may be used to detect scleral and choroidal thickening, anterior chamber depth, ciliary detachment and cyclodialysis cleft.
[6] To prevent retinal dysfunction and vision loss, intraocular pressure should be normalised by treating the cause of hypotony.
