What is Secondary Glaucoma?<\/h1>\n

Let\u2019s try to understand this a little better. The frontal region of the eye, between the cornea and lens, is filled with a fluid called aqueous humor. This liquid is regularly drained and produced and maintains a constant balance. The aqueous humor constantly drains out through the trabecular meshwork or the uveoscleral outflow. Blockage in either of these can cause eye pressure to increase, which in turn damages the optic nerve can be categorized as secondary glaucoma. Similar to primary glaucoma, secondary glaucoma can affect one or both eyes.<\/p>\n

Depending on what pathway is blocked, secondary glaucoma can be categorized into secondary open-angle glaucoma or secondary angle-closure glaucoma. In the former, the trabecular meshwork resists the liquid from flowing freely whereas, in the latter, both the pathways get blocked, mostly caused by a damaged iris blocking the pathways. Both of these are caused by the angle of the iris with the cornea, depending on this either of the pathways could be blocked.
