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...

Muscles of the Eye

5.4K
The muscles of the eye are sophisticated structures that control eye movement and focus, allowing for the precise and rapid adjustments necessary for vision. The human eye is controlled by ten muscles — six extraocular muscles, three intraocular muscles, and one primary eyelid retractor muscle.
Extraocular Muscles
The six extraocular muscles surround the eyeball and control its movements. They are responsible for a wide range of eye motions, including looking up, down, left, right, and...

Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

1.6K
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

4.3K
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...

Summary

Loop myopexy surgery effectively treats high myopia-associated strabismus by repositioning the eye globe. Various surgical modifications offer safe and effective options for improving ocular alignment in these patients.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Strabismus Management

Background:

  • High myopia can cause rare strabismus, impairing eye muscle function (abduction and supraduction).
  • Loop myopexy of the superior rectus (SR) and lateral rectus (LR) muscles is a primary surgical approach for ocular globe repositioning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and summarize surgical modifications of loop myopexy for high myopic strabismus.
  • To outline the applicable scope of different procedures based on strabismus severity.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of published studies on loop myopexy modifications.
  • Identification and categorization of three major surgical procedures and their variations.

Main Results:

  • Multiple loop myopexy modifications have been developed, demonstrating safety and efficacy.
  • These modifications generally result in good ocular alignment restoration.

Conclusions:

  • Careful pre-operative evaluation is crucial for accurate diagnosis and selecting appropriate, individualized surgical modifications.
  • The choice of surgical modification is vital for successful outcomes in high myopic strabismus patients.
