Secondary Glaucoma in Patients with Uveitis

Abstract

SG is an underappreciated, vision-threatening complication in patients with uveitis. Increased vigilance for emergence of this complicating problem during the care of patients with uveitis is warranted, and medical and surgical treatment for reducing IOP should be especially aggressive in these patients. We hypothesize that earlier, more aggressive treatment of uveitis will reduce the presence of glaucoma as an additional vision-robbing complication of uveitis.
