Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

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: Overview

Glaucoma: Overview

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...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

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:

Medical Education
Ophthalmology
Infectious Diseases

Background:

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted medical student clinical rotations, impacting ophthalmology education.
Reduced opportunities for clinical exposure, networking, research, and residency preparation were noted.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the impact of COVID-19 on undergraduate medical education, focusing on ophthalmology.
To discuss innovative virtual learning modalities implemented globally.
To describe a novel virtual neuro-ophthalmology elective.

Main Methods:

Literature review on COVID-19's impact on medical education.
Discussion of virtual learning strategies: virtual didactics, online cases, telehealth.
Description of a newly developed virtual neuro-ophthalmology elective.

Main Results:

Virtual learning modalities were adopted worldwide to maintain medical education continuity.
The virtual neuro-ophthalmology elective successfully provided foundational knowledge and research opportunities.
Innovative approaches enhanced ophthalmology training during the pandemic.

Conclusions:

Virtual learning is crucial for sustaining medical education during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic.
Novel virtual electives can effectively substitute traditional clinical experiences in ophthalmology.
These advancements offer a path forward for improving ophthalmology medical education beyond the pandemic.
