ABSTRACT
The proposed mechanism in corticosteroid-induced glaucoma includes morphological and functional changes in the trabecular meshwork system and is similar to the pathogenesis of primary open-angle glaucoma. An important point is the differentiation between glaucoma and ocular hypertension; glaucoma is characterized by not only rise in IOP (hypertension) but also excavation and degeneration of the optic disk and damage to nerve fi ber bundles.10
