AB DEFINITION OF HEMORRHAGIC GLAUCOMA 
    A glance through recent ophthalmic literature would seem to show that there is some difference of opinion as to what hemorrhagic glaucoma is. It therefore appears proper to preface these remarks by a definition of the term "hemorrhagic glaucoma," as I understand it, as follows:This disease presents the usual symptom-complex of acute glaucoma, occurring suddenly in an eye in which retinal or other intraocular hemorrhages have previously occurred before any glaucomatous symptoms were present. In brief, the hemorrhages are the exciting cause. I believe that this condition should be differentiated from a pre-existing glaucoma in which hemorrhages have occurred subsequently. Clinically, an operation might be indicated in the latter class of cases, but would not only be valueless but positively injurious in the former class.The predisposing cause in every case is probably general arteriosclerosis. Hemorrhagic glaucoma is always caused by the intraocular hemorrhages, but
