Objective: To explore the clinical features and efficacy of treatment for the patients with ocular hypertension or glaucoma secondary to uveitis. Methods: There were 158 cases (206 eyes) of patients with ocular hypertension or glaucoma during the treatment of uveitis. The efficacy of treatment with topical or systemic anti-glaucoma medications, laser or surgical management was analyzed. Results: Among the 158 patients, there were 86 males and 72 females. The mean age was(46.5±17.8)years old. There were 99 eyes (48.1%) treated with anti-glaucoma medications, 54 eyes (26.2%) with YAG laser iridotomy, 20 eyes (9.7%) with cyclophotocoagulation, 16 eyes (7.8%) with trabeculectomy, 7 eyes (3.4%) with combined trabeculectomy and phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation, 4 eyes (1.9%) with glaucoma drainage implant, and 6 eyes (2.9%) with multiple surgical treatments. The intraocular pressure of 181 eyes was well controlled and the successful rate was 87.9% after the 12~18 months follow-up. The corrected visual acuity of 171 eyes (83.0%) was improved at last visit, 28 eyes (13.6%) were stable and 7 eyes (3.4%) were deteriorated. Conclusion: For the patients with ocular hypertension or glaucoma secondary to uveitis, the aggressive anti-inflammation and the anti-glaucoma medications are essential. Tropical drops, laser iridotomy, trabeculectomy, cyclophotocoagulation or glaucoma drainage implants could control the intraocular pressure and minimize the visual impairment.
