AIM: To investigate relevant factors and treatment methods for early secondary glaucoma after silicone oil injection. METHODS: Causes, types and treatment methods of secondary glaucoma of 128 eyes after vitreum incision and intravitreal silicone oil injection from January 2007 to December 2008 in our hospital were analysed retrospectively. RESULTS: Secondary glaucoma following silicone oil injection occurred in 26 of 128 eyes (20%). The frequent reasons of secondary glaucoma were inflammatory reaction, silicon oil running into the anterior chamber, laser photocoagulation and scleral encircling operation. Local or systemic decrease of intraocular pressure was adopted to treat secondary glaucoma after surgery, the causes were actively searched to carry out etilogical treatment. CONCLUSION: The incidence rate of secondary glaucoma after silicone oil injection seems to be high, and medicine and surgery can control intraocular pressure effectively. LA: Chinese
