Posner-Schlossman syndrome (PSS), also called glaucomatocyclitic crisis, is characterized by recurrent non-granulomatous anterior uveitis, accompanied by elevated intraocular pressure. It is able to develop into chronic secondary glaucoma and eventually lead to optic nerve injury. Although the overall prognosis of PSS is favourable, there are still some patients whose optic nerve injury continues to progress and even lead to blindness due to recurrent attacks of ocular hypertension. At present, the exact cause of PSS is not clear, and the treatment is mainly to control inflammation and intraocular pressure. This article will elaborate the research status of PSS from two aspects of etiology and treatment to provide ideas and reference for the basic research clinical diagnosis and treatment of PSS.
