Predictors of glaucoma in patients with uveitis and scleritis.

Glaucoma is a common complication of uveitis and scleritis and was more frequent in older subjects, high presenting IOP, chronic inflammation and those with cystoid macular oedema. Local steroid therapy contributes to this, but is not quantifiable in this study. Targeted screening is required to avoid irreversible progression of glaucomatous optic neuropathy.
