Abstract

Secondary glaucoma is a diverse group of disorders characterized by elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) due to identifiable ocular or systemic causes, leading to optic nerve damage and vision loss. A prospective longitudinal hospital-based study was conducted with 70 patients of secondary glaucoma. Data shows that females outnumbered males in with phacomorphic type of Lens induced glaucoma (LIG). Further, high visual outcome was seen in LIG and low in neovascular glaucoma (NVG). Delayed presentation, often due to non-financial reasons, was linked to worse outcomes.
