Muscles of the Eye01:20

Muscles of the Eye

4.8K
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...

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

1.4K
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...

Accessory Structures of the Eye

4.0K
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...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

1.0K
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...

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Strabismus

    Background:

    • Inferior oblique overaction can cause hypertropia and compensatory head movements.
    • Small angle hypertropias require effective surgical correction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of inferior oblique muscle belly transposition.
    • To treat inferior oblique overaction with small angle hypertropia.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 10 patients undergoing inferior oblique belly transposition.
    • Muscle sutured to sclera posterior to inferior rectus insertion.
    • Preoperative and postoperative evaluation of deviations, head posture, and muscle overaction.

    Main Results:

    • Complete resolution of inferior oblique overaction in 90% of patients.
    • Improvement in the remaining patient (from +3 to +1).
    • No residual vertical deviation; correction of compensatory head postures observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Inferior oblique muscle belly transposition effectively weakens overaction and corrects small hypertropias.
    • This procedure is a viable surgical option for specific strabismus cases.
    • High patient satisfaction reported post-surgery.
