[Secondary glaucoma after penetrating keratoplasty].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the etiology and management of secondary glaucoma after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP).


METHODS
Eighty cases (80 eyes) with secondary glaucoma occurring in 1,450 cases (1,500 eyes) of PKP, its causes, time of onset and the relationship with the primary disease were analyzed. According to different causes, they were treated with different therapies.


RESULTS
The intraocular pressure (IOP) of 63 cases (63 eyes) became normal after drug treatment for 2 - 3 weeks. In 17 cases (17 eyes) who had received antiglaucomatous operations, 13 cases' (13 eyes) IOPs were normal and 4 cases' (4 eyes) still high.


CONCLUSIONS
Accurate perioperative management can decrease the incidence of secondary glaucoma after PKP. The majority of secondary glaucoma can be controlled by different therapies according to different causes.
