Hyphema may lead to a secondary glaucoma in some patients. Six different mechanisms by which anterior chamber blood may cause elevated intraocular pressure are described and the treatment of these different conditions is discussed. It should be noted that more than 1 mechanism may be present simultaneously and that other mechanisms unrelated to the blood may also contribute to the problem.
