Blunt eye trauma can cause acute angle-closure glaucoma due to lens dislocation. Prompt surgical intervention may be necessary for elevated intraocular pressure unresponsive to medical management.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Trauma Care

Background:

  • Blunt ocular trauma is a significant cause of vision impairment.
  • Secondary glaucoma can arise from various ocular pathologies, including lens abnormalities.

Observation:

  • A 45-year-old male presented with acute vision loss and pain in the left eye post-blunt trauma.
  • Ophthalmic examination revealed hand motion visual acuity and elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) of 37 mmHg.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis of secondary acute angle-closure glaucoma was established, attributed to pupillary block from anterior lens dislocation.
  • Medical therapy failed to reduce the elevated IOP, necessitating surgical intervention.

Implications:

  • Intracapsular cataract extraction and anterior vitrectomy were performed to manage the condition.

  • Clinicians should consider secondary glaucoma, particularly lens-induced glaucoma, in patients with blunt eye trauma and elevated IOP.
