Glaucoma secondary to other eye disorders - what does this mean
Glaucoma secondary to other eye disorders occurs when an existing eye disorder, such as uveitis or trauma, increases the pressure within the eye. this increased pressure can damage the optic nerve, leading to vision loss and other symptoms of glaucoma.
What happens during the disease - glaucoma secondary to other eye disorders
Glaucoma is a chronic eye disorder caused by increased intraocular pressure due to impaired outflow of aqueous humor. this increased pressure can damage the optic nerve, leading to vision loss. secondary glaucoma occurs when another eye disorder, such as cataracts, uveitis, or trauma, causes an obstruction in the trabecular meshwork and prevents the normal outflow of aqueous humor. this obstruction leads to increased intraocular pressure, resulting in damage to the optic nerve and vision loss.

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To reduce intraocular pressure and prevent further damage to the optic nerve
- Prescribe medications such as prostaglandin analogs, beta blockers, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, and alpha agonists.
- Perform laser trabeculoplasty or other laser treatments.
- Perform a filtration procedure such as trabeculectomy.
- Perform a glaucoma drainage device implantation.
- Prescribe topical medications to reduce inflammation.
- Perform a cyclophotocoagulation.
- Perform a canaloplasty.
- Prescribe antiglaucoma eye drops.
- Prescribe oral medications to reduce intraocular pressure.
- Advise patient to monitor intraocular pressure.
- Advise patient to make lifestyle changes to reduce intraocular pressure.
