ABSTRACT

?AIM:To explore the efficacy and safety of operation in treating secondary glaucoma caused by contusion hyphema.?METHODS: Seventy patients (70 eyes) with secondary glaucoma caused by contusion of anterior chamber in our hospital from November 2014 to November 2015 were selected.All patients were treated by operation.Visual acuity, anterior chamber depth, mean intraocular pressure and postoperative complications of patients before and after operation were compared.?RESULTS:Patients with secondary glaucoma caused by contusion of anterior chamber had better visual acuity after operation and the difference was statistically significant (t=42.471, P<0.001).And they had deeper anterior chamber depth and lower mean intraocular pressure, and the differences were statistically significant (t=9.726, 26.041; P<0.001).Two of those patients had emergence of hyphema after operation and symptomatic relieved after treatment. None of the patients had complications such as blood-staining of cornea or eye pain.? CONCLUSION: The curative effect of operation in treating secondary glaucoma caused by contusion of anterior chamber is good and safe and it can improve visual acuity, deepen the anterior chamber angle depth and reduce the intraocular pressure.
