Iris melanoma: factors predictive of post-management secondary glaucoma in 271 cases at a Single Ocular Oncology Centre.

ABSTRACT:

Background/aims

To identify factors predictive of post-management secondary glaucoma in eyes with iris melanoma.

Methods

Patients with iris melanoma who were conservatively managed on the Ocular Oncology Service, Wills Eye Hospital from 1970 to 2016 were included. Charts were retrospectively reviewed, and binary logistic regression analysis was performed. Main outcome measures were factors predictive of post-management glaucoma, defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) > 22 mmHg following melanoma treatment.

Results

Of 271 patients with iris melanoma, melanoma-related glaucoma was identified in 40 (15%) at presentation and post-management glaucoma developed in 75 (28%) at a mean of 103.7 months (range:1.0-120.0). Comparison (post-management glaucoma vs. no glaucoma) reve
