[9][10] Although the visual outcomes in closed globe injury (CGI) may be better than those in OGI, [11][12] traumatic glaucoma is more common in CGI than in OGI 3 and nearly one-fourth of eyes with CGI in children require glaucoma filtering surgery for IOP control. 13 Trabecular pigmentation, angle recession, and higher baseline IOP are significantly associated with the occurrence of 1 Eye Institute of Chinese PLA and Department of Ophthalmology, Xijing Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an, Shaanxi, China 2 Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA chronic glaucoma after CGI.…”
