Incidence and Risk Factors for Secondary Glaucoma in Eyes with Uveal Melanoma.

Secondary glaucoma at initial uveal melanoma diagnosis predicts high risk of synchronous metastases. Although anterior neovascularization is the most common mechanism for secondary glaucoma after diagnosis, other mechanisms such as angle narrowing and anterior chamber hemorrhage are not infrequent. Initial retinal detachment and intraocular pressure with tumor thickness could inform interim assessments of intraocular pressure and neovascularization.
