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...

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

623
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...

Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

698
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...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Optometry
  • Vision Screening Technology

Background:

  • Refractive amblyopia risk factors (ARFs) and significant refractive errors in preschool children require effective screening methods.
  • Current vision screening tools need validation against established guidelines for optimal detection rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the SureSight and PlusoptiX instruments for detecting ARFs and refractive errors in Chinese preschoolers.
  • To establish new referral criteria based on the 2021 American Academy of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS) guidelines.

Main Methods:

  • 1,173 preschool children (61-72 months) underwent eye examinations using PlusoptiX, SureSight, and cycloplegic retinoscopy (CR).
  • Data were analyzed using paired t-tests, Bland-Altman plots, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
  • Comparison with 2013 and 2021 AAPOS guidelines was performed to assess validity.

Main Results:

  • Both SureSight and PlusoptiX correlated well with CR, effectively identifying ARFs and refractive errors.
  • Significant differences in astigmatism and anisometropia referral rates were observed between 2013 and 2021 AAPOS guidelines.
  • Optimized referral criteria were proposed: PlusoptiX (-0.75 myopia, 1.25 hyperopia, -1.0 astigmatism, 0.5 anisometropia) and SureSight (-1.25 myopia, 2.75 hyperopia, -1.5 astigmatism, 0.75 anisometropia).

Conclusions:

  • SureSight and PlusoptiX are reliable tools for detecting refractive amblyopia risk factors and significant refractive errors in preschool children.
  • SureSight showed advantages in detecting hyperopia, while PlusoptiX was more effective for myopia.
  • Instrument-specific referral criteria aligned with AAPOS 2021 guidelines were developed for enhanced preschool vision screening.
