Certain medications can trigger secondary angle-closure glaucoma. Anticholinergic drugs, alpha1-agonists, and Topiramate are linked to pupillary block or ciliary body edema, leading to this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Secondary angle-closure glaucoma (SACG) is a serious condition that can lead to vision loss.
  • Pupillary block and ciliary body edema are known mechanisms contributing to SACG.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify specific drug classes associated with secondary angle-closure glaucoma.
  • To differentiate the mechanisms of drug-induced SACG.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of drug-induced secondary angle-closure glaucoma cases.
  • Analysis of reported associations between medications and glaucoma subtypes.

Main Results:

  • Anticholinergic drugs and alpha1-sympathomimetics are associated with secondary angle-closure glaucoma due to pupillary block.

  • Topiramate is predominantly linked to secondary angle-closure glaucoma caused by ciliary body edema.

    • Conclusions:

    • Understanding drug-specific mechanisms is crucial for managing and preventing secondary angle-closure glaucoma.
    • Clinicians should consider anticholinergic drugs, alpha1-agonists, and Topiramate when evaluating patients with angle-closure glaucoma.
