Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment01:28

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

955
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...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

831
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...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

2.9K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal diseases
  • Pediatric eye care

Background:

  • Keratoconus is a progressive ectatic corneal disease causing vision impairment.
  • Pediatric keratoconus presents unique challenges due to accelerated progression and co-morbidities.
  • This condition significantly impacts children's quality of life, social integration, and education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the epidemiology and etiopathogenesis of pediatric keratoconus.
  • To highlight the clinical challenges in diagnosing and managing pediatric keratoconus.
  • To review current management strategies and perspectives for pediatric keratoconus.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on pediatric keratoconus.
  • Analysis of epidemiological data and disease progression patterns.
  • Evaluation of current treatment modalities and their outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Pediatric keratoconus is more aggressive than adult forms, necessitating distinct management approaches.
  • Early detection and collagen crosslinking are crucial for arresting disease progression.
  • Associated ocular conditions, like severe allergic conjunctivitis, complicate treatment and management.

Conclusions:

  • Timely intervention with collagen crosslinking is vital for preserving vision in pediatric keratoconus.
  • Comprehensive management considering co-morbidities and patient compliance is essential.
  • While keratoplasty offers good outcomes, managing post-operative complications requires attention.
