Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment01:28

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

628
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: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

527
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...

Glaucoma: Overview

702
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...

The Vestibular System01:29

The Vestibular System

40.1K
The vestibular system is a set of inner ear structures that provide a sense of balance and spatial orientation. This system is comprised of structures within the labyrinth of the inner ear, including the cochlea and two otolith organs—the utricle and saccule. The labyrinth also contains three semicircular canals—superior, posterior, and horizontal—that are oriented on different planes.

Prosopagnosia01:24

Prosopagnosia

236
Prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, is the inability to recognize faces. In severe cases, individuals with prosopagnosia may not recognize close family members, including parents and spouses, by their faces. For instance, someone with prosopagnosia might walk past their child in a crowd, only realizing their mistake upon noticing their child's distinctive backpack or favorite jacket. Prosopagnosia specifically impairs facial recognition, while the recognition of other objects or...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often results in visual impairments and deficits in visual perception.
  • These visual challenges significantly impact an individual's occupational performance and quality of life.
  • Occupational therapy interventions aim to mitigate these effects and improve functional outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the evidence on the effectiveness of vestibulo-ocular interventions for adults with TBI.
  • To examine how these interventions address visual impairments and visual perception.
  • To determine the impact on occupational performance.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search for relevant studies.
  • Inclusion of studies focusing on vestibulo-ocular interventions.
  • Analysis of outcomes related to visual function and occupational performance.

Main Results:

  • Evidence suggests that specific vestibulo-ocular interventions show promise in improving visual impairments and visual perception in adults with TBI.
  • Improvements in visual function correlate with enhanced occupational performance in daily activities.
  • The reviewed interventions target the interplay between the vestibular and ocular systems.

Conclusions:

  • Vestibulo-ocular interventions are a viable therapeutic approach for adults with TBI experiencing visual challenges.
  • Further research is warranted to establish definitive efficacy and optimal treatment protocols.
  • Occupational therapy plays a crucial role in integrating these interventions for functional recovery.
