Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

524
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...

Open and closed-loop control systems

911
Control systems are foundational elements in automation and engineering. They are broadly categorized into open-loop and closed-loop systems. These classifications hinge on the presence or absence of feedback mechanisms, significantly influencing the system's performance, complexity, and application.
An open-loop control system operates without feedback from the output. It consists of two primary elements: the controller and the controlled process. The controller receives an input signal...

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

619
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

691
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 and Vision Science
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Optometry

Background:

  • Dynamic iris behavior is crucial for visual function and can be affected by age and disease.
  • Accurate assessment of iris dynamics, particularly in mid-dilated states, is challenging with existing methods.
  • Understanding age-related changes in iris function is important for diagnosing and managing ocular conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a programmable closed-loop system for dynamic iris behavior assessment.
  • To precisely track and modulate iris diameter, including in the mid-dilated position.
  • To analyze the relationship between age and dynamic iris parameters such as peak constriction velocity (PCV) and mid-dilated iris activity (MDIA).

Main Methods:

  • A custom closed-loop iris control system was engineered by modifying an ANTERION OCT device.
  • The system integrated software for image storage, pupillary diameter (PD) tracking, and real-time LED/ambient light modulation.
  • Participants underwent 65-second scan sessions to capture dynamic iris responses; PCV and MDIA were calculated offline.

Main Results:

  • The system successfully maintained iris position in 96.6% of participants within ±10% of the target mid-dilated PD.
  • Mean peak constriction velocity (PCV) was 3.92 mm/s and mean mid-dilated iris activity (MDIA) was 0.37 mm.
  • Significant negative correlations were found between both PCV and MDIA with increasing age (P < 0.001).

Conclusions:

  • The developed programmable closed-loop system effectively modulates dynamic iris behavior and maintains mid-dilation.
  • Iris function, specifically PCV and MDIA, demonstrably decreases with advancing age.
  • This technology holds potential for studying iris-related diseases and developing new biometric risk factors for primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG).
