Secondary glaucoma following blunt trauma is relatively uncommon in regular optometric practice. Onset of this type of glaucoma may occur within weeks, but may also be delayed several decades. This case report presents a 57 year old male who, 48 years ago, suffered a sling shot accident yet was only recently diagnosed with traumatic glaucoma in his left eye. The trauma caused severely reduced vision in his left eye but, aside from this, the patient did not report any eye- or vision problems and he had never had an eye examination as an adult. He successfully wore ready-made glasses for near work. While all findings were normal in his right eye, his left eye showed reduced vision, inferionasal iridodialysis, angle recession, increased intraocular pressure and heavily excavated optic nerve head. The patient was referred to an ophthalmologist who confirmed unilateral glaucoma. The case report reviews situations where secondary glaucoma from blunt trauma may occur, which ocular signs might be present and which ocular examinations should be undertaken. Further, the importance of following up patients with ocular trauma is discussed.

Road traffic accident is one of the important causes of ocular trauma. There is a need for strict traffic rules in third world countries where a majority of people travel on two wheelers and that too without a helmet. People generally tend to over speed or try to fit in their children on a two wheeler in our country. In this case report, we present a case of complete avulsion of eye ball and optic nerve in a patient of a road traffic accident. There are no documented cases of avulsion of the globe and optic nerve due to a road traffic accident in the available literature.

Aim. To identify the prognostic criteria for the recovery or transformation to chronic form in patients with prolonged clinical course of uveitis associated with penetrating ocular trauma basing on the results of clinical examination and instrumental methods. Methods. 120 patients with chronic clinical course of post-traumatic uveitis were examined 2-3 months after the penetrating ocular trauma using clinical examination and ultrasonography of eye and orbita. 1st group consisted of 60 convalescents, 2nd included 60 patients with chronic disease. The control group consisted of 40 healthy volunteers. Ultrasonography included measurement of innermost eye coat thickness and the retrobulbar part of the optic nerve thickness measured 10 mm behind the eyeball bilaterally. Results were statistically analyzed. Results. Prognostic criteria for recovery or chronic inflammation development in chronic post-traumatic uveitis were found. They are: G-index and interocular asymmetry coefficient of innermost eye coat and optic nerve thickness. At calculation of G-index, which characterizes inflammatory consequences of trauma, presence of cornea imbibition, rubeosis iridis, cataract, vitreous body fibrosis, pulled-in cornea and sclera scars, retinal and choroidal detachment, the eyeball subatrophy, decreased eye fluid pressure, optic nerve thickening. The value of all the parameters equaled 1. An interocular thickness asymmetry coefficient characterized innermost eye coat thickness or optic nerve thickness ratio in injured eye compared to other eye. 2-3 weeks after the trauma characteristic G-index value of G ≥4, an interocular asymmetry coefficient value of ≥1,3 for innermost eye coat thickness and ≥1,1 for optic nerve thickness are the indicators of a high risk of chronic development. Lesser values predict recovery. Conclusion. Use of the set of found prognostic criteria in patients with prolonged clinical course of uveitis provides high prognosis accuracy of 93,3% at predicting recovery or chronic uveitis development.
