Trauma-related glaucoma
Glaucoma associated with ocular trauma is an eye disease caused by multiple factors. For example, eye contusion, laceration, chemical damage, electromagnetic radiation damage, or surgical injury can all cause glaucoma. Increased intraocular pressure may occur within a few days after the injury, or may occur several years later. The chamber angle may be open or closed. The injured eye may show obvious signs of injury or may be very disproportionate to the clinical signs. In fact, eyes prone to glaucoma often have low intraocular pressure rather than high intraocular pressure in the early stages after ocular trauma, because ciliary body contusion and inflammation, ciliary muscle tear and separation can increase uveoscleral drainage; tears from the trabecular meshwork to the Schlemm canal, or deformation of the eyeball caused by penetrating injuries to the sclera or cornea can all lead to reduced ciliary secretion of aqueous humor.

Methazolamide Tablets
Indication: It is used as an adjuvant treatment for patients with primary open-angle glaucoma, angle-closure glaucoma and some secondary glaucoma whose intraocular pressure is not well controlled by topical anti-glaucoma drugs. Because this product has less effect on acid-base balance while lowering intraocular pressure, it is better than acetazolamide for patients with severe obstructive pulmonary disease. Methazolamide has less effect on urinary citrate secretion than acetazolamide, so it is recommended for patients who need oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitor treatment but are prone to kidney stone formation.
