Abstract
SummaryRaised intraocular pressure and glaucoma are frequently seen in uveitis, and may represent a serious complication. Inflammatory substances released during uveitis and the treatments used, mainly corticosteroids, probably alter the normal anatomic structure of the anterior chamber and angle, influencing aqueous dynamics.The clinical presentations may vary according to the irido‐corneal angle. In angle closure, iris bombé is well recognised due to the acute elevation of IOP. However when the angle remains open, a careful monitoring of IOP and optic nerve head are needed, because the evolution is more insidious. Therefore gonioscopy is the key examination in the diagnosis and management of secondary IOP elevations and glaucomas and allows an appropriate treatment.
