Modern methods of treatment have significantly increased the survival rate of children with oncohematological diseases, and along with it the importance of preserving their quality of life. More than half of patients receiving long-term steroid therapy suffer from glaucoma, which reduces visual acuity. This review analyzes the literature on the patterns of glaucoma development in patients receiving steroid therapy, the results of anatomical, as well as physiological and biochemical changes in the anterior chamber angle leading to the development of glaucoma.
