AIM: To investigate the cause , clinical manifestation and treatment of traumatic secondary glaucoma. METHODS: According to the cause, clinical manifestation and treatment, 65 cases (65 eyes) of traumatic secondary glaucoma were analysed and classified. RESULTS: Traumatic secondary glaucoma could be classified as follows: intraocular hemorrhage 24 eyes (37%), angle-recession 20 eyes (31%), len hazards 12 eyes (18%), postoperation of perforating injury of eyeball 9 eyes (14%). The different treatmnets might be used. The IOP of 55 eyes (85%) were 6-21 mmHg which were followed up for 3-6 months, and the IOP of 10 eyes (15%) exceeded 21 mmHg. The vision acuity of 56 eyes (86%) increased, and 4 eyes (6%) decreasd. Retinal detachment developed in 2 eyes. CONCLUSION: Hazardous factors of traumatic secondary glaucoma enhanced not only intraocular tension but also intraocular tissue damage. Therefore, the therapy of traumatic secondary glaucoma was more complicated than that of primary glaucoma,and its prognosis was not good. LA: Chinese
