[Secondary forms of glaucoma].

The various forms of secondary glaucoma are discussed on the basis of their different pathogenesis. Elevation of IOP is most frequently associated with inflammation of the uveal tract. Vascular changes in the uvea, in particular rubeosis iridis but also angiomatoses of the retina, can cause secondary glaucoma. Tumors of the uvea and retina often lead to increased intraocular pressure; and lastly, blunt and perforating injuries are frequently followed by glaucoma. Treatment of all these different forms of secondary glaucoma is discussed.
