How does uveitis lead to glaucoma?

Uveitis can cause increased eye pressure when swollen debris blocks the trabecular meshwork causing low fluid outflow from the eye, further resulting into glaucoma. This can be prevented by adequate control of inflammation by the doctor. Less commonly, steroids used for the treatment of uveitis can lead to glaucoma in susceptible patients (steroid responders).
