Elevated IOP after ocular trauma can occur immediately after the injury, or at any time in the future, even years later. Thus, all cases with a history of significant ocular trauma require lifelong surveillance for the onset and progression of glaucoma. This review article discusses the various etiologies of traumatic glaucoma and its management.
