Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

864
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...

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...

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

997
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...

Chronic Kidney Disease III: Interprofessional Care

245
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Public Health
  • Integrated Care Models

Background:

  • Glaucoma is a chronic condition requiring long-term management.
  • Integrated care models aim to improve patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess a novel, public, vertically integrated care model for community-based glaucoma management.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of optometry-led shared care compared to traditional ophthalmology-led care.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective, longitudinal study of 266 patients with glaucoma or suspected glaucoma.
  • Patients were stratified into ophthalmology-led care (n=81) or optometry-led shared care (n=185).
  • Analysis included demographics, clinical characteristics, re-referral rates, and timeliness of follow-up.

Main Results:

  • Optometry-led shared care accounted for 46% of follow-up consultations over 45 months.
  • The re-referral rate to ophthalmology in shared care was 21%.
  • Treated patients achieved a median 20% intraocular pressure reduction with a median 2-day delay in review.

Conclusions:

  • Shared care is an effective strategy for managing chronic, stable glaucoma patients at low risk of vision loss.
  • This model can help manage the ongoing care burden in glaucoma.
