Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

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.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...

Pediatric strabismus surgery rates declined between 2000 and 2006 in the UK, particularly for esotropia. However, these surgical rates appear to have stabilized from 2006 to 2010.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Pediatric Surgery

Background:

Previous documentation indicated a decrease in strabismus surgery for children in the UK.
Understanding current trends and potential causative factors is crucial for pediatric eye care.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the ongoing incidence of strabismus surgery in children within the UK.
To identify potential reasons behind observed changes in surgical rates.

Main Methods:

Analysis of pediatric strabismus surgery data from Scotland, England, and Wales (2000-2010).
Calculation of annual surgical incidence per 100,000 age-specific population (0-14 years).
Inclusion of data on pediatric sight tests conducted by hospital eye services (1995-2004).

Surgical Correction for Pediatric Epiblepharon and Trichiasis

Surgical Correction for Pediatric Epiblepharon and Trichiasis

Published on: July 8, 2025

A significant decrease in annual pediatric strabismus operations was observed in England and Scotland from 2000 to 2006.
A decreasing trend in surgical incidence was noted in Wales during the same period.
Surgical rates remained relatively stable between 2006 and 2010, with consistent numbers of pediatric sight tests.

Conclusions:

Strabismus surgery rates in children, especially for esotropia, continued to decline until 2006.
The incidence of strabismus surgery may have stabilized in the subsequent period (2006-2010).
