Glaucoma after surgery on the retina and vitreous

Semin Ophthalmol. 1994 Dec;9(4):258-65. doi: 10.3109/08820539409060025.

Abstract

Increased intraocular pressure after retinal detachment or its surgery may be addressed in an effective manner, because the clinical setting invariably suggests an ascertainable etiologic mechanism. Directed, stepwise therapy may then be instituted promptly to minimize lasting or functional impairment from long-standing increased intraocular pressure.
