Abstract

Glaucoma is a common and challenging complication of uveitis. This article reviews the risk factors for uveitic glaucoma and provides a logical approach to identification of the underlying mechanisms of raised intraocular pressure. Management is discussed with special reference to the relative merits and disadvantages of the newer glaucoma drugs, antiproliferative trabeculectomy, glaucoma drainage devices, and cyclophotocoagulation.

Relationship between intraocular pressure and preservation of visual field in glaucoma.

Intraocular pressure (IOP) correlates with progressive loss of visual field in patients with glaucoma. Decreasing IOP has been proven to reduce progressive loss of the visual field. This is true both for glaucoma patients with IOPs above or within the normal range. For individuals with ocular hypertension (high IOP but no evidence of glaucomatous neuropathy), lowering IOP may reduce the risk of developing glaucoma. This article reviews scientific evidence that supports the importance of lowering IOP in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
