    Late-onset glaucoma can develop decades after eye trauma. Significant angle recession injuries require lifelong monitoring and often surgical intervention for effective management.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Trauma research

    Background:

    • The long-term consequences of traumatic eye injuries, specifically angle recession, on intraocular pressure and glaucoma development remain incompletely understood.
    • Understanding the natural history of angle recession is crucial for predicting and managing secondary glaucoma.

    Observation:

    • Two cases are presented where late-onset glaucoma developed 19 and 23 years post-contusion injury.
    • These cases highlight a delayed but significant risk of glaucoma following initial ocular trauma.

    Findings:

    • Medical management alone proved insufficient for controlling intraocular pressure in both reported cases.
    • Surgical intervention became necessary to address the advanced glaucoma secondary to angle recession.

    Implications:

    • Patients with substantial angle injury after ocular trauma require lifelong ophthalmological follow-up.
    • Early identification and consistent monitoring of angle recession are vital for preventing irreversible vision loss from glaucoma.
