Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

950
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...

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
In 1978, international leaders convened in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, for what would be a pivotal event in global health. The Alma-Ata Declaration was the first to call...

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

3.6K
At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

744
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...

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment01:28

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

879
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...

Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Ophthalmology
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • Addressing the growing burden of eye conditions in aging populations.
  • Tackling persistent inequities in healthcare access globally.
  • Mitigating challenges posed by widespread resource limitations in eye care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and prioritize critical challenges in global eye health.
  • To inform strategic investments in research and innovation for eye care.
  • To guide policymakers and healthcare professionals in addressing global eye health issues.

Main Methods:

  • A multi-step recruitment strategy assembled a diverse, global panel of experts.
  • A three-round, online, Delphi-like prioritization process was employed.
  • Participants nominated and ranked challenges in global eye health.

Main Results:

  • 16 global priority challenges were identified through the prioritization process.
  • Key areas include detection and treatment of major eye conditions (cataract, refractive error, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy).
  • Other priorities involve human resource capacity, health system strengthening, policy, and equity in access to care.

Conclusions:

  • The identified Grand Challenges provide a roadmap for immediate action in global eye health.
  • This framework is intended to guide funders, researchers, clinicians, and policymakers.
  • Fostering collaboration is essential to address these specific eye health challenges effectively.
