Traumatic Glaucoma
Traumatic glaucoma is an eye condition that is caused by significant blunt or penetrating trauma to the eye. It is characterised by a rapid increase in intraocular pressure, which can result in permanent damage to the optic nerve and complete vision loss. Treatment is aimed at reducing intraocular pressure and preserving vision. Managements may include medical therapies or surgical interventions to drain the aqueous humor which can help to lower intraocular pressure and prevent further damage. The prompt diagnosis and management of traumatic glaucoma is essential to preserve vision.
