Traumatic Glaucoma (Malik Y. Kahook, MD)

Traumatic glaucoma is any form of glaucoma that results directly from injury to the eye. Some causes include blunt trauma with direct damage to the aqueous outflow system, penetrating injuries leading to disruption of tissues with inflammation and scar formation, retinal detachment with subsequent plugging of the trabecular meshwork with blood or inflammatory cells (or photoreceptors), bleeding with compromise of the outflow system as well as exposure to caustic substances.
