Background: Secondary Glaucoma, due to disease or drugs is common in uveitis. Purpose: To evaluate prevalence of secondary glaucoma (SG) in uveitis with diff erent treatment regimen. Methods: Randomised prospective hospital based study of uveitis from 2007-2012. Baseline IOP, Field and optic nerve head photographs were recorded. Th ree groups were randomised: (1) topical steroid, (2) Systemic steroid+gr-1 and (3) Topical synthetic steroids, cycloplegic and periorbital triamcinolone injection. IOP more than 22 mm/4mm increase from baseline is marker. Results: 1254 uveitis cases, prevalence rate 63/100000 and 82 SG, 70% in anterior uveitis. During treatment, SG was maximum (80%) in fi rst group and least (5%) with synthetic steroid combined with periorbital triamcinolone. Multi variate analysis shows synthetic steroid and periorbital triamcinolone has least association with SG. Conclusion: SG is an underappreciated visual threat in uveitis which can be modulated eff ectively with newer steroids.
