Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment01:28

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...
Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

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...
Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: 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...
Accessory Structures of the Eye01:17

Accessory Structures of the Eye

Optical perception, or vision, is an extraordinary sense dependent on converting light signals received via the ocular organs. These organs, known as eyes, are securely positioned within the bony cavities of the skull, called orbits. The orbits serve a dual purpose: a protective shield for the ocular globes and a stable attachment point for the soft ocular tissues. The eye's external protective mechanisms include the eyelids, which are edged with lashes that act as a barrier against foreign...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Genetics
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Comitant strabismus is a prevalent condition affecting all age groups.
  • Severe impacts include visual loss, lack of binocularity, and social stigma.
  • Acute onset of comitant esotropia can signal serious neurological conditions like tumors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current knowledge on strabismus demographics, etiology, risk factors, and genetics.
  • To emphasize the importance of accurate clinical assessment and pre-operative evaluation.
  • To explore the complex multifactorial genetics of comitant strabismus.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of strabismus demographics, etiology, risk factors, and genetics.
  • Emphasis on clinical assessment, measurement, and sensory work-up.
  • Discussion of genetic studies and the need for large-scale family recruitment.

Main Results:

  • While genetics of incomitant strabismus are clearer, comitant strabismus genetics are complex and multifactorial.
  • Careful clinical assessment is vital for correct classification and management.
  • Understanding genetic predispositions is key to identifying at-risk patients.

Conclusions:

  • Further research, particularly large-scale genetic studies, is needed to understand the predisposition to comitant strabismus.
  • Improved understanding can lead to better risk identification and reduced patient morbidity.
  • Accurate diagnosis and management are essential due to the potential severity of strabismus.
