Secondary Glaucoma in the Context of Retinal Disease

A variety of retinal diseases can lead to the development of glaucoma. The most common type of these secondary glaucomas is neovascular glaucoma (NVG), which constitutes the main subject of this review. NVG is a severe condition with a poor prognosis. Treatment becomes increasingly challenging as the disease progresses. Thus emphasis is put on early diagnosis and therapy adapted to the disease stage. The review also covers other less frequent secondary glaucomas, such as glaucomas due to intraocular tumours or associated with retinal detachment (Schwartz-Matsuo syndrome) as well as late onset open-angle glaucomas after uncomplicated vitrectomy.
