Abstract
We use the term lens-induced glaucoma for the secondary open-angle glaucomas associated with leakage of lens proteins into the eye, from lens particles directly affecting the function of the trabecular meshwork (TM), or from phacoantigenic inflammation. Prior laboratory investigations have given insight into underlying mechanisms and offer a framework for understanding and classification.
