Secondary glaucoma and raised Intraocular pressure following surgical intervention in Corneal disorders and Vitreoretinal diseases pose an ongoing challenge to Ophthalmologists. In Corneal transplant and refractive procedures,changes in corneal thickness, postoperative astigmatism, and refractive surprises often preclude reliable postoperative assessment of IOP, disc, and visual field. When using topical drugs to lower IOP, one has to keep in mind the side eects that are peculiar to them in the setting of post transplant glaucoma. Internal tamponade agents in vitreoretinal surgery, such as expanding gases and silicone oils and external procedures like scleral buckling can compromise the aqueous outflow,resulting in post surgical glaucoma. Options of trabeculectomy, Glaucoma Drainage Devices,or cyclodestructive procedures are all valid here. The course will focus on pearls to overcome the challenges in the diagnosis, medical and surgical management of glaucoma in this group of patients.
