secondary glaucoma

Which Substances are Implicated?

A variety of substances have been linked to secondary glaucoma, including:
Corticosteroids: These are one of the most common causes of secondary glaucoma. Both systemic and topical corticosteroids can increase IOP.
Antihistamines: Known to have anticholinergic properties, which can lead to angle closure and increased IOP.
Antidepressants: Some antidepressants, particularly tricyclics, can contribute to increased IOP.
Chemicals: Occupational or accidental exposure to certain industrial chemicals can also lead to secondary glaucoma.
Herbal supplements: Some supplements, especially those with sympathomimetic properties, may exacerbate IOP elevation.
