Glaucoma is a common in eyes with trauma. This condition results in significant elevations of intraocular pressure (IOP). Elevated IOP after\udocular trauma can occur immediately after the injury, or at any time in the future, even years later. Thus, all cases with a history of significant\udocular trauma require lifelong surveillance for the onset and progression of glaucoma. This review article discusses the various etiologies of\udtraumatic glaucoma and its management. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2012; 42: Supplement 12-5
