I easily get anxious and obsessed. my concern is that if a person gets eye inflammation following trauma , then does self healing process occurs or rather devastating consequences are observed. I visited doctor pretty late after a month of trauma.my slit lamp and dilated eye exam is normal. I was responded in the previous query by Dr. Priyanka Ahuja to not worry in case eye exam is normal but to get pressure check per month for 4 months. I know that inflammatory cells can clog drainage increasing pressure, but I don't have active inflammation presently. So why pressure concerns now? Is it related to angle recession which can raise pressure months after? . Upon examination, my doctor did not say if anything is wrong with angles or drainage network. And I still want to know what untreated inflammation usually leads to , or if it rather self heals in many cases. I did not have hyphema for sure. But I had pain and redness with some mild blurring for many days. Request you to address this.

Don't worry be happy,if things are Ok so far! Routine eye checkup with IOP are done to observe late sequale of trauma.Sometimes molecular level microdamages are not seen by naked eye.Review with your eye specialist every 6 months.
