Ocular findings in 123 patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy

Among 115 diabetic patients with proliferative retinopathy, hemorrhagic glaucoma was found in 22 eyes, and simple glaucoma in four. Otherwise, the intraocular pressure was low in eyes with proliferations, and it was shown that it decreased in parallel with the development of the retinopathy. In some cases, hypotonia was followed by neovascularization in the iris and the chamber angle, and subsequently by hemorrhagic glaucoma.
