Abstract:
The authors present the frequency, clinical forms and therapeutic results of traumatic glaucoma in 511 injured eyes. Traumatic glaucoma was found in 6.6% of the injured eyes, more frequently in contusions than in perforating lesions of the eye. One third of the patients with traumatic glaucoma were blind and one half had visual acuity below 0.1. The time elapsed between the injury and the diagnosis of traumatic glaucoma ranged from 1 hour to 30 years.
