ABSTRACT
Secondary glaucomas are always difficult to manage, no matter what their causes might be. Among them, neovascular glaucomas pose a challenge to ophthalmologists, due to the factors bringing them about and the great visual loss they produce. On the other hand, iridocorneal endothelial syndrome is an uncommon condition. Glaucoma develops in about 50% of the cases, depending on the prevailing syndrome, and is much more severe in essential iris atrophy. A clinical case is presented of a 58-yearold female patient with these two types of secondary glaucoma, one type in each eye.REFERENCES
