title: [Scleral buckling operation for primary retinal detachment and secondary acute angle-closure glaucoma].
abstract: Of 233 eyes (215 patients) operated on for primary retinal detachment with scleral buckling, 38 eyes (16.3%) developed angle-closure glaucoma. The authors found no correlation between onset of the post-operative IOP elevation and the age of the patient, the preoperative IOP, the width of the chamber angle, refraction, the duration of operation, and the number of operations. The clinical characteristics of this type of glaucoma, its pathogenetic mechanism, and management are discussed.
