[Protein glaucoma, a formerly unknown form of glaucoma].
As a possible reason for a secondary glaucoma generally an unphysiological aggregation of proteins or blood in the aqueous humor is discussed. A positive Tyndall-phenomenon shows an increase of proteins in aqueous humor. We were able to demonstrate earlier that a negative Tyndall-phenomenon does not exclude this as well. In this contribution examples are given that disruption of vessel-membranes in retina and uvea lead to an increase of low molecular proteins in aqueous humor. Contrary to current knowledge we found that an overtaxing of active flow mechanisms by these additional proteins can cause a so-called protein-glucoma.
