Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

870
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...

Anatomy of the Eyeball

9.1K
The eye is a spherical, hollow structure composed of three tissue layers. The outer layer — the fibrous tunic, comprises the sclera — a white structure — and the cornea, which is transparent. The sclera encompasses some of the ocular surface, most of which is not visible. However, the 'white of the eye' is distinctively visible in humans compared to other species. The cornea, a clear covering at the front of the eye, enables light penetration. The eye's middle...

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

1.0K
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...

Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

1.1K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Imaging
  • Macular Diseases

Background:

  • Paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) is an acute macular neuroretinopathy.
  • Characterized by inner nuclear and outer plexiform layer hyperreflectivity on SD-OCT.
  • Associated with vasopressor use or systemic microvascular disease leading to retinal ischemia.

Observation:

  • PAMM diagnosis relies on spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
  • Multimodal imaging aids in diagnosis and progression evaluation.
  • This study presents a case in a healthy young woman.

Findings:

  • Detailed multimodal imaging findings of PAMM.
  • Demonstration of characteristic SD-OCT features.
  • Clinical presentation in a previously healthy individual.

Implications:

  • Enhances understanding of PAMM etiology and presentation.
  • Highlights the utility of multimodal imaging in diagnosing rare retinal conditions.
  • Provides a reference case for clinical and research purposes.
