The present review describes the posterior segment complications following surgical management of glaucoma. Although the majority of glaucoma cases are managed medically, still a large number of patients may require surgery. Moreover, with the advent of newer surgical techniques and adjuncts, encountering retinal complications post-surgery is not uncommon. The incidence, signs, management, and prognosis of common complications such as anesthesia-related retinal toxicity, vitreous loss, suprachoroidal hemorrhage, serous choroidal detachment, hypotonic maculopathy, vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment and endophthalmitis will be discussed in detail. Awareness of these complications is necessary as their proper and timely management can save vision in an already compromised eye.
