Traumatic glaucoma

Glaucoma associated with ocular trauma is caused by multiple factors. Such as eye contusion, laceration, chemical damage, electromagnetic radiation damage, or surgical injury can cause glaucoma. Elevated intraocular pressure can occur within days of the injury, or it can occur years later. The corner can be opened or closed. The injured eye may show signs of obvious damage or very disproportionate to clinical signs. In fact, glaucoma-prone eyes have low intraocular pressure rather than high intraocular pressure in the early stages after ocular trauma. Due to ciliary body contusion and inflammation, tearing and separation of the ciliary muscle can increase uveal scleral drainage. The tear of the beam to the Schlemm tube, or the deformation of the eyeball due to scleral and corneal penetrating injuries, can lead to a decrease in the secretion of aqueous humor in the ciliary body.
