Risk factors for suprachoroidal haemorrhage during cataract surgery

Eye volume 38, page 1026 (2024)Cite this article

Subjects

I read with interest the Article on Risk factors for suprachoroidal haemorrhage during cataract surgery by S. Stewart et al. [1]. As someone having experienced this complication, I thank them for highlighting the importance of being aware of this rare but catastrophic complication.

There have been reports of some circumstantial evidence of an increased risk of choroidal haemorrhage in women during menstruation [2].
