Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment01:28

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

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...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

1.1K
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...

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

7.2K
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Intraocular endoscopy utilizes unique illumination properties for enhanced surgical visualization.
  • Understanding reflected versus transmitted light is redefining its application in vitreoretinal surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advancements in intraocular endoscopy.
  • To highlight its surgical applications in microincision vitreoretinal surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent developments in intraocular endoscopy.
  • Analysis of endoscope-enabled intraoperative viewing during pars plana vitrectomy.

Main Results:
