Abstract
Uveitic glaucoma is a complex disease whose pathogenesis and treatment differ greatly from other glaucoma syndromes. Intraocular pressure elevation can be due to open-angle, closed-angle, or mixed mechanisms and steroid-induced processes. Up to 20% of patients with uveitis develop glaucoma. It is important to adequately recognize the differences in the treatment of this disease to accurately manage both glaucoma and ocular inflammation. We provide a review of the most common inflammatory etiologies that cause glaucoma and different treatment modalities used to manage it, both medical and surgical.
