| Abstrakt: | We report two glaucoma patients who experienced unusual instances of spontaneous globe rupture. The patients arrived at the Bowen University Teaching Hospital's emergency ophthalmology unit with a history of bleeding from one eye without any history of ocular trauma. They were known glaucoma patients with poor control of their intraocular pressures (IOP). They eventually underwent evisceration shortly after presentation. Spontaneous eyeball rupture in glaucomatous eyes is extremely unusual and has a very poor prognosis for vision. Proper management and appropriate follow-up of glaucoma patients are very important to avert this dreaded complication of uncontrolled IOP. Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest.
