    The term intermediate uveitis (IU) describes an anatomic distribution of ocular inflammation rather than a distinct clinicopathologic condition and includes pars planitis, chronic posterior cyclitis and peripheral uveitis. In the treatment of IU corticosteroids and cytostatic agents are of value but since the disease tends to have a long course they produce perminant side effects. Especially this therapy is undesirable in children. In some patients immunosuppressive therapy is not effective, particularly with peripheral neovascularization. Cryotherapy performed in 11 patients (16 eyes, 5 men, 6 women, mean age 22.9 +/- 8.1 years) with IU controlled inflammation during 13-37 months and prevented vitreous hemorrhage.

    Open 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.

    Angle 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...

    Ophthalmic Drug Delivery Systems

    Ophthalmic drug delivery faces major limitations due to poor absorption across the corneal membrane. This process is primarily driven by diffusion and is influenced by two main factors: the physicochemical properties of the drug and tear drainage. Most ophthalmic drugs, such as pilocarpine, epinephrine, atropine, and local anesthetics, are weak bases. They are typically formulated at an acidic pH to enhance chemical stability. However, this leads to high ionization, reducing their ability to...
