AbstractGlaucoma surgery and uveitis (course) Management of uveitis glaucoma requires careful diagnosis and managment of both uveitis and glaucoma. Before deciding surgery it is essential to identify the mechanisms of IOP elevation and to differentiate secondary open angle glaucoma, secondary angle closure glaucoma with or without pupillary block. In case of secondary glaucoma with pupil block in phakic patients lens extraction might be considered if the uveitis is well controlled. Uveitis can negatively affect the outcome of glaucoma surgery. Filtration surgery with the use of adjunctive mitomycin C is the standard of care because of the risk of fibosis of the filtration bleb. Non penetrating surgery is an attractive option if the angle is open avoiding anterior chamber entry and hypotony. Aqueous shunt implantations is another option and could be proposed as a primary surgical procedure. Cyclophotocoagulation is best avoided in uveitics because the ciliary body is compromised by cyclitis. This procedure should be used cautiously because patients with uveitis already have atrophic ciliary epithelium, and the risk of permanent hypotony is increased with a cyclodestructive procedure
