4.3 - SECONDARY OPEN-ANGLE GLAUCOMA 1-3<br />
4.3.1 - SECONDARY OPEN-ANGLE GLAUCOMAS CAUSED BY OPHTHALMOLOGICAL DISEASE<br />
4.3.1.1 - Pseudoexfolation <strong>glaucoma</strong><br />
a) Topical medication<br />
b) ALT often achieves a large IOP decrease<br />
c) Filtering procedure<br />
4.3.1.2 - Pigmentary <strong>glaucoma</strong><br />
a) Topical medication<br />
Beware that drugs which dilate the pupil may cause additional pigment liberation <strong>and</strong> there<strong>for</strong>e a spike<br />
in IOP. Check peripheral retina <strong>for</strong> tears be<strong>for</strong>e using pilocarpine.<br />
b) ALT<br />
The heavily pigmented trabecular meshwork warrants power lower than usual. The IOP response is<br />
highly variable.<br />
c) Filtering procedure<br />
d) Peripheral Nd:YAG laser iridotomy <strong>for</strong> eliminating reverse pupillary block if present. The potential longterm<br />
benefit could be decreased iris rubbing <strong>and</strong> pigmentary release with a prophylactic role by preventing<br />
irreversible trabecular damage.<br />
4.3.1.3 - Lens-induced open-angle <strong>glaucoma</strong><br />
Topical anti-inflammatory medication followed by extraction of lens or lens fragments, <strong>and</strong> vitrectomy if needed<br />
4.3.1.4 - Glaucoma associated with intraocular haemorrhage<br />
a) Topical <strong>and</strong> systemic IOP lowering medication as needed<br />
b) Paracentesis <strong>and</strong> wash-out of the anterior chamber<br />
c) Vitrectomy (<strong>for</strong> vitreous blood)<br />
4.3.1.5 - Uveitic <strong>glaucoma</strong><br />
a) Topical <strong>and</strong> systemic anti-inflammatory therapy<br />
b) Topical <strong>and</strong> systemic IOP lowering medication as needed<br />
c) Treatment of the underlying disease<br />
d) Glaucoma surgery (consider antimetabolites)<br />
4.3.1.6 - Glaucoma due to intraocular tumor<br />
a) Irradiation, surgical tumor excision, enucleation<br />
b) Topical <strong>and</strong> systemic IOP lowering medication as needed<br />
c) Cyclodestruction<br />
d) Trabeculectomy not indicated<br />
