Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

658
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: Treatment

785
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:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Prosthodontics
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Orbital trauma often necessitates orbital exenteration, leading to significant cosmetic and psychological deficits.
  • Traditional surgical reconstruction may not always be feasible or desired by patients.
  • Orbital prostheses provide a non-surgical option for restoring appearance and improving quality of life.

Observation:

  • A clinical report details the prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient following orbital exenteration due to trauma.
  • The primary goals were to improve the patient's aesthetics and psychological state.
  • Key considerations for the prosthesis included aesthetics, durability, weight, cost, and retention.

Findings:

  • The fabrication and fitting of an orbital prosthesis were successfully performed.
  • Incorporating the patient's own hair to create realistic eyelashes was a key technique.
  • This approach led to a marked improvement in the prosthesis's aesthetic integration.

Implications:

  • Orbital prostheses are effective for cosmetic and psychological rehabilitation in post-exenteration patients.
  • Customization, including the use of patient's hair, can significantly enhance aesthetic outcomes.
  • This prosthetic approach offers a valuable alternative to complex surgical reconstructions.
