Ophthalmol Clin North Am. 2002 Sep;15(3):375-87, viii. doi: 10.1016/s0896-1549(02)00028-7.

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.
