Stanic R; Stanic R.Collegium Antropologicum 2001; 25 Suppl: 101-104
The authors present the frequency, clinical forms and therapeutic results of traumatic glaucoma in 511 injured eyes. Traumatic glaucoma was found in 6.6% of the injured eyes, more frequently in contusions than in perforating lesions of the eye. One-third of the patients with traumatic glaucoma were blind and one-half had visual acuity below 0.1. The time elapsed between the injury and the diagnosis of traumatic glaucoma ranged from one hour to 30 years.
