A 36-year-old woman presented with eye pain and blurring of vision in her right eye. On eye examination, it was noted that there were angle-closure glaucoma and anterior uveitis in both eyes. Ocular ultrasound showed short axial lengths as well as a choroidal thickening in both eyes, confirming the diagnosis of nanophthalmos. Nanophthalmos is a condition where the eye is abnormally short, resulting in axial hyperopia and predisposing it to angle-closure glaucoma. The patient was initially managed medically, but the glaucoma was intractable. The patient underwent repeated sessions of transscleral cyclophotocoagulation which eventually lowered the intraocular pressure. The management of nanophthalmic eyes can be quite challenging due to the risk of inciting uveal effusion syndrome with any form of intraocular surgery. Controlled and repeated sessions of transscleral cyclophotocoagulation may be considered as a viable management option in these cases.
