AIM: To explore the mechanism and treatment of high intraocular pressure (IOP) after vitreoretinal surgery. METHODS: One hundred an d ninety-six patients (198 eyes) underwent vitreoretinal surgery and high intraocular pressure occurred in 72 patients (73 eyes), who were treated by medicine or surgery. RESULTS: For the 73 eyes in 198 eyes (36.9%), intraocular pressure was controlled (less than 21 mmHg), and visual acuity was improved in 35.7% patients.
