Abstract:
The article presents a clinical case of bilateral cataract surgery on megalocornea eyes of a 20-year-old male. The Haigis formula has demonstrated the greatest potential accuracy for IOL calculation in such eyes, while the use of other formulas was associated with a higher risk of significant hyperopic refractive error. An unusually high level of pseudoaccommodation was obtained in both eyes.

986
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...

01:27Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment
859
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.
