High rate of conversion from ocular hypertension to glaucoma in subjects with uveitis

British Journal of Ophthalmology May 28, 2021

Ma T, Sims JL, Bennett S, et al. - Researchers conducted this retrospective observational study to investigate the presentation, management and long-term sequelae of ocular hypertension and uveitic glaucoma. The sample consisted of all patients with uveitic glaucoma or ocular hypertension seen in Auckland uveitis clinics over the last 10 years. In total, 139 patients (188 eyes) with uveitic glaucoma or ocular hypertension were involved for analysis. Idiopathic uveitis, sarcoidosis, herpes zoster, HLA-B27 uveitis, tuberculosis and Posner-Schlossmann or cytomegalovirus uveitis were the most common diagnoses. From ocular hypertension to uveitic glaucoma, there was a rapid progression. Uveitic glaucoma is aggressive, with a high likelihood of needing surgical treatment and a high risk of central vision loss. To maximise outcomes for these patients, uveitis and glaucoma specialists must work closely together.
