    Because uveitic glaucoma is a progressive stage of anterior non infectious uveitis, uveitic glaucoma involves signs and symptoms of both glaucoma and uveitis.. Patients with acute non infectious anterior uveitis may experience the following symptoms: pain, blurry vision, headache, photophobia (discomfort or pain due to light exposure), or the observance of haloes around lights.

    Angle-closure glaucoma should be considered if there is painful loss of vision with a red eye, nausea or vomiting. [4] The eye pressure will be very high typically greater than 40 mmHg. [5] Emergent laser treatment to the iris may prevent blindness. [4]

  6. Lens induced glaucomas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_induced_glaucomas

    The crystalline lens inside the human eye has been implicated as a causative factor in many forms of glaucoma. Lens induced glaucomas or Lens related glaucomas are either open-angle or closed-angle glaucomas that can occur due to a neglected advanced cataract (cloudiness of the lens) or a dislocated lens. It is a type of secondary glaucoma.

    Incidence of exfoliation syndrome-caused secondary glaucoma is estimated to be approximately 10% of the glaucoma patient population in the United States and over 20% of the patient population in Iceland and Finland. [2] In populations above the age of 40, neovascular glaucoma has a prevalence of 0.4% worldwide. [8]

  8. Normal tension glaucoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_tension_glaucoma

    Over many years, glaucoma has been defined by an intraocular pressure of more than 20 mm Hg. Incompatible with this (now obsolete) definition of glaucoma was the ever larger number of cases that have been reported in medical literature in the 1980s and 1990s who had the typical signs of glaucomatous damage, like optic nerve head excavation and thinning of the retinal nerve fiber layer, while ...

    Currently, the best sign of pediatric glaucoma is an IOP of 21 mm Hg or greater present within a child. [63] One of the most common causes of pediatric glaucoma is cataract removal surgery, which leads to an incidence rate of about 12.2% among infants and 58.7% among 10-year-olds. [63]
