Abstract

Purpose:

To describe a patient with negative dysphotopsia who underwent a novel non-invasive technique that uses the Nd:YAG laser to induce nasal light scattering through targeted lens pitting.

Methods:

Case report.

Results:

Symptoms of negative dysphotopsia resolved after targeted lens pitting.

Conclusions:

Targeted lens pitting with Nd:YAG laser is a potential technique that may help treat negative dysphotopsia in a manner that preserves intraocular anatomy. Further study is warranted to explore targeted lens pitting in both patients with and without prior retinal surgery as a treatment for negative dysphotopsia. [.

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...

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...
