Choroidal effusion is characterised by fluid accumulation in the suprachoroidal space and can be either idiopathic or associated with trauma, infection, inflammation or intraocular surgery. On rare occasions, this can cause a secondary angle‐closure glaucoma that does not involve a pupil block mechanism. This report details a case of bilateral secondary angle‐closure glaucoma with choroidal effusion following a Campylobacter jejuni infection, which has been characterised using modern imaging technology. We present the case of a 35‐year‐old male who developed acute bilateral vision loss following a gastrointestinal illness caused by C jejuni . Clinical findings included bilateral choroidal effusions and secondary angle‐closure glaucoma. The patient underwent a multidisciplinary diagnostic workup and was treated with systemic steroids, acetazolamide and intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering medication. His visual acuity and IOP improved significantly, and the choroidal effusions resolved with tailored medical management. This case underscores the importance of a detailed history and multidisciplinary approach in managing rare ocular complications. Systematic evaluation and prompt intervention prevented irreversible vision loss. The case also highlights the need for regular follow‐ups to optimise treatment outcomes and underscores the value of considering systemic infections in patients presenting with complex ocular conditions.
