Trauma Related Glaucoma

Reena Garg

Abstract

Trauma related glaucomas are a mixed bag of conditions that raise the intraocular pressure (IOP) and hence compromise the optic nerve function. When we talk about trauma we tend to think about blunt trauma and penetrating trauma (as well as chemical, electrical and radiation traumas). Most of the secondary glaucomas are a result of blunt trauma. It can occur acutely or more often delayed as in angle recession.
