Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment01:28

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

886
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

748
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...

Accessory Structures of the Eye

2.1K
Optical perception, or vision, is an extraordinary sense dependent on converting light signals received via the ocular organs. These organs, known as eyes, are securely positioned within the bony cavities of the skull, called orbits. The orbits serve a dual purpose: a protective shield for the ocular globes and a stable attachment point for the soft ocular tissues. The eye's external protective mechanisms include the eyelids, which are edged with lashes that act as a barrier against foreign...

Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

961
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...

Summary

Post-operative diplopia can occur after eye surgery. This review covers its incidence, causes, and management, including surgical and non-surgical options.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Strabismus Surgery

Background:

  • Diplopia is a known risk following ocular and periocular surgery.
  • Unexpected double vision post-surgery leads to patient distress and specialist referrals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the incidence, mechanisms, and treatment of post-operative diplopia.
  • To provide insights into managing double vision after various ocular surgeries.
  • To discuss predictive signs of post-operative diplopia.

Main Methods:

  • Review of post-operative diplopia following retinal, orbital, glaucoma, and iatrogenic monovision surgeries.
  • Presentation of both surgical and non-surgical treatment modalities.
  • Discussion of early recognition of warning signs for post-operative diplopia.

Main Results:

  • Post-operative diplopia is an encountered complication across diverse ophthalmic procedures.
  • A range of treatments, both operative and conservative, can be employed.
  • Identifying pre-operative indicators can aid in risk assessment.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management strategies exist for post-operative diplopia.
  • Understanding causative factors and predictive signs is crucial for ophthalmologists.
  • Improving patient outcomes by mitigating double vision after eye surgery.
