Abstract

Abstract

This chapter discusses blunt trauma to the eyeball leading to angle recession glaucoma. Angle recession may be associated with many other conditions associated with the ocular trauma sustained, such as dislocation or subluxation of the lens, traumatic cataract, iridodialysis, cyclodialysis, hyphema and retinal detachment, extraocular muscle avulsion, orbital trauma and globe rupture in extreme cases. When Blunt injury is sustained by the eye by an object moving parallel to the visual axis, the cornea and anterior sclera is displaced backwards. This leads to a compensatory equatorial expansion. Aqueous and vitreous are relatively incompressible and transmit the force so that the ocular tissues undergo sudden expansion and possibly tearing. International incidence, Indian incidence, slit-lamp findings, gonioscopic findings, pathology, and management of angle recession are explained.
