[Concern on the changes of clinical pattern and etiological factors in uveitis in China]

Abstract:
The present paper addresses the changes of clinical pattern and etiological factors in uveitis in China. Behçet's disease and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome have been shown to be the two most common and the most severe sight-threatening uveitis entities in China. Uveitis or endophthalmitis caused by tuberculosis, syphilis, fungi and acquired immune deficiency syndrome has increased in frequency during recent years. Masquerade syndrome seen in intraocular-central nervous system lymphoma, retinoblastoma and metastases of cancers to the eye is not a rare disease.

01:25Glaucoma: Overview
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...
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.
