Abstract

Background: To study the pattern and treatment outcome of secondary glaucoma in all age group of patients in a tertiary care hospital. Methods:This was a hospital-based prospective longitudinal study conducted on 70 patients of secondary glaucoma in a tertiary eye hospital of central India from January 2021 to June 2022. Demographic data was collected, detailed history was taken and a comprehensive ophthalmic examination was done in all patients. Results: The mean age at presentation was 61.08 ± 14.08 years with male to female ratio of 1.4:1. The most common cause was lens induced (LIG)in 45 (64.2%) followed by neo-vascular (NVG) in 7 (10%) and uveitic glaucoma in 6 (8.57%). Traumatic glaucoma was seen in 5(7.14%) cases while miscellaneous included 7 (10%). At presentation, the mean IOP was 37.87mmHg, being highest in NVG patients. Sixty four (91.4%) of patients had a presenting VA<6/60 in the affected eye. Forty nine (70%) patients regained VA better than 6/60 with maximum improvementbeing seen in LIG patients. Conclusion: Among different types of secondary glaucoma lens induced glaucoma was most common. Most patients were females, and majority presented with poor vision. NVG patients had the highest mean IOP. Best visual improvement after management was observed in LIG patients.
