Abstract:
Intermediate uveitis poses a significant problem in treatment for the clinician. Guidelines for its treatment have been outlined in this paper including visual acuity decreases to 20/40, disc edema, subretinal exudation, and significant symptoms from vitreous floaters. Periocular adrenocorticosteroids are suggested as the treatment of choice. A brief account of the signs, symptoms, and suggested etiologic evaluation is included. This is the second in a three-part series of articles.

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...
01:28Angle 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...
