Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment01:28

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

950
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

822
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:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal Surgery
  • Vision Science

Background:

  • Keratoconus presents significant challenges in visual rehabilitation due to irregular astigmatism and optical aberrations.
  • Traditional methods like spectacles and rigid gas permeable contact lenses are often insufficient.
  • Surgical options include intracorneal ring segments, intraocular lenses, excimer laser ablation, and keratoplasty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advancements and data on the use of excimer laser in managing keratoconus.
  • To explore various excimer laser treatment modalities and their combinations for keratoconus.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on excimer laser applications in keratoconus.
  • Analysis of combined procedures: excimer laser with corneal cross-linking, and triple procedures (intracorneal rings, excimer laser, cross-linking).
  • Exploration of excimer laser combined with intraocular lenses.

Main Results:

  • Excimer laser allows for surface remodeling and customized treatments (wavefront-optimized, -guided, topography-guided).
  • Combination of photoablation and corneal cross-linking demonstrates efficacy and safety in slowing or stopping keratoconus progression.
  • Triple procedures show promising results for progressive keratoconus, improving visual acuity and topography.
  • Combination with intraocular lenses is an under-explored but potentially effective approach.

Conclusions:

  • Excimer laser is a versatile tool in keratoconus management, offering customized ablations.
  • Combined therapies, particularly with corneal cross-linking, enhance treatment outcomes and safety.
  • Further research into combinations like excimer laser and intraocular lenses is warranted for improved visual rehabilitation.
