What does this gonioscopy show? Answer Widening of the ciliary band. This is typical of angle recession. Where is the lesion? Answer A tear between the longitudinal and circular fibres of the ciliary body. What is the incidence of this condition following hyphaema? And what is the incidence of this condition progressing to glaucoma? Answer It occurs in over 50% of patients with gross traumatic hyphaema. However only 5% of these patients will eventually develop glaucoma. The risk of glaucoma is associated with extent of the recession (ie. the degrees involved). More questions
