Flashcard 7: What type of glaucoma can be seen with hypermature cataract?_____

These proteins and macrophages then clog the trabecular meshwork. * **Phacomorphic glaucoma:** Occurs when an **intumescent** (swollen) lens causes pupillary block and secondary angle-closure glaucoma. Intumescence often precedes or accompanies the progression toward hypermaturity.
