The article discusses various therapies to manage uveitic glaucoma. It briefly outlines the medical therapy of elevated intraocular pressure IOP, wherein carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs) and immunomodulatory therapy (IMT) is used to treat the uveitis. It highlights that laser iridotomy can be recommended to patients with pupillary block glaucoma, while patients with elevated IOP refractory can be treated with glaucoma filtration surgery.
