Abstract:
We present a case of a 56-year-old man who suffered an injury to his right eye in June 2012. He presented to an emergency department, however, the presence of a penetrating injury and an intraocular foreign body was not identified. A year later he was referred to the ophthalmology department due to reduced vision and change of iris colour in the same eye. Examination revealed clinical signs consistent with a previous penetrating injury and a retained ferrous intraocular foreign body.

1.7K
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...

1.6K
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...
