[To strength interdisciplinary for the development of neuro-ophthalmology in China]
[Zhonghua Yan Ke Za Zhi] Chinese Journal of Ophthalmology
|January 8, 2011
Abstract:
Neuro-ophthalmology is an interdisciplinary field. Promoting the development of neuro-ophthalmology in China by interdisciplinary is the current trend. With the rapid development of the related disciplines, we should grasp the research hotspots correctly and focus on the oriented research. The cutting-edge research results should be introduced and the innovative teams should be built up. It will be greatly beneficial for the development of the neuro-ophthalmology in China by boosting the combination of neuro-ophthalmology and the cross subjects.

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.

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...
