Summary
Nonsurgical periocular rejuvenation offers several injectable options like hyaluronic acid (HA) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Understanding these modalities and periocular anatomy is key for safe and effective aesthetic outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Aesthetic Medicine
- Dermatology
- Ophthalmology
Background:
- Nonsurgical periocular rejuvenation is a common aesthetic procedure.
- Various injectable treatments are available for the delicate eye area.
- Anatomical knowledge is crucial for safe and effective treatment.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review current injectable modalities for periocular rejuvenation.
- To summarize recent literature on HA, PRP, calcium hydroxyapatite, and PLLA.
- To emphasize the importance of understanding periocular anatomy.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of recent publications on periocular injectables.
- Description of relevant periocular anatomy.
- Synthesis of information on different injectable substances.
Main Results:
- Hyaluronic acid (HA), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), calcium hydroxyapatite, and poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) are common injectables.
- Each modality has unique properties and indications.
- Detailed anatomical understanding enhances safety and efficacy.
Conclusions:
- Practitioners must be knowledgeable about various injectable options for periocular rejuvenation.
- Safe and effective results depend on understanding both the injectables and the anatomy.
- Continuous review of literature ensures up-to-date practice.

01:27Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment
535
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.

01:28Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment
638
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...
