Abstract:
Uveitic glaucomas (UG) are complex in cause or disease and response to treatment.UG typically is associated with very high intraocular pressure and more intense optic nerve damage than other glaucoma types.This secondary glaucoma requires an early diagnosis and adequate management of both uveitis and glaucoma.Recently,a multitude of novel medical therapies and surgical techniques have been added to the armamentarium of existing therapeutic modalities.This article reviews the surgical treatment of UG,including Trabeculectomy,laser peripheral iridotomy,nonperforating deep sclerectomy,glaucoma drainage implants,minimally invasive glaucoma surgery,and also briefly discusses the application and effect of these surgical treatments.
