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...

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

1.3K
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...

Ophthalmic Drug Delivery Systems

27
Ophthalmic drug delivery faces major limitations due to poor absorption across the corneal membrane. This process is primarily driven by diffusion and is influenced by two main factors: the physicochemical properties of the drug and tear drainage. Most ophthalmic drugs, such as pilocarpine, epinephrine, atropine, and local anesthetics, are weak bases. They are typically formulated at an acidic pH to enhance chemical stability. However, this leads to high ionization, reducing their ability to...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Thyroid eye disease (TED) can cause proptosis and vision impairment.
  • Orbital decompression is a surgical option to alleviate TED symptoms.
  • Various surgical techniques exist for orbital decompression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of orbital decompression for TED at a single unit.
  • To compare these findings with existing literature on TED orbital decompression.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 55 patients (93 orbits) undergoing orbital decompression for TED (2009-2015).
  • Surgical techniques included lateral, medial, and multi-wall decompressions, and orbital fat removal.
  • Systematic literature review of orbital decompression for TED.

Main Results:

  • Exophthalmometry reduction varied by technique: 4.2mm (lateral), 2.9mm (medial), 7.6mm (multi-wall).
  • Common complications included temporary numbness (29% lateral, 17% other) and new diplopia (9% lateral, 39% other).
  • Literature review showed similar exophthalmometry reductions and complication rates.

Conclusions:

  • Orbital decompression for TED is a safe and effective procedure.
  • The choice of surgical technique influences outcomes and complication rates.
  • Tailoring the surgical approach to the individual patient is key for optimal results.
