Abstract:
A protocol of combined treatment of patients with cyclotropia has been developed, including surgery and functional treatment by an original method. Combined treatment of cyclodiplopia and forced compensatory head turn (ocular torticollis) led to complete restoration of solitary vision in the entire visual field in 12 (34%) cases, in the main part of visual field in 20 (58%) cases, complete elimination of torticollis in 18 (52%) cases, and decrease of torticollis in 14 (40%) cases. Hence, the proposed treatment protocol brings about good functional results and is recommended for the treatment of patients with cyclodiplopia and torticollis.

01:28Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...
01:27Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
