Secondary glaucoma is a potential complication that can arise following vitreo-retinal surgeries, such as vitrectomy or retinal detachment repair. It occurs due to an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP), often resulting from various factors like inflammation, hemorrhage, or silicone oil used during surgery. The elevated IOP can damage the optic nerve, leading to progressive vision loss if not promptly managed. This condition requires close monitoring and may necessitate medical or surgical intervention to control the pressure. Recognizing the risk of secondary glaucoma is essential for both surgeons and patients, as early detection and appropriate treatment are crucial to preserving long-term visual function.@LVPEIDigitalEducation
