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:

Ophthalmology
Surgical Techniques
Public Health

Background:

Cataract and glaucoma are leading causes of vision impairment, often coexisting.
Resource-constrained areas face challenges in managing these conditions effectively.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe standardized and simplified modifications to combined trabeculectomy and manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS).
To report on the outcomes of this combined surgical technique in managing coexisting cataracts and glaucoma.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of 70 eyes undergoing the modified combined surgery in rural Indian eye care centers (Jan 2018 - May 2019).
Success defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) 6-18 mmHg (complete without medication, qualified with ≤3 medications).
Surgical procedures were performed by ophthalmology fellows and an experienced glaucoma specialist.

Main Results:

At 1-year follow-up, complete success was 55% and qualified success was 83% with minimal medication.
Preoperative IOP was 20 mmHg in eyes with advanced glaucoma (82.8%).
Success rates did not significantly differ between fellows and the specialist (P>0.44).

Conclusions:

A simplified, combined cataract and glaucoma surgery technique is effective.
This straightforward approach has potential for wider application, particularly in underserved regions globally.
