ABSTRACT
o evaluate incidence of secondary glaucoma in post traumatic cases and correlates with the type of injuryMaterials & Methodology TheData wasobtained from the records of 140 patient and reviewedand analysed from apr-2011 –December 2013.Results :The 32 months incidence of developing posttraumatic glaucoma was 11.39%.Need for glaucoma surgery was independtly associated with a)Angle+ iris injury (46 cases , 32.85%)b)Corneal + iris injury (15 cases , 10.71%)c)Lens injury (56 cases , 40%)d)Angle recession (21 cases,15%)e)Presence of optic atrophy (16 cases , 11.42%)f)H/o penetrating trauma(17 cases , 12.14%)g)Vitreal injury 7 cases ( 5% ) Conclusions:This study estimates incidence 11.36% for the developing secondary glaucoma after ocular trauma associated with closed globed injury , blunt trauma. This study provides an estimate for the risk of developing glaucoma after ocular contusion in a large cohort study population and has determined several independently predictive factors that were significantly associated with development of posttraumatic glaucoma. Theseincluded poor visual acuity, advancing age , lens injury, angle recession.
