Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

518
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

609
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

677
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...

Summary

This study shows an evidence-based myopia treatment algorithm effectively slowed myopia progression in children. The algorithm, using orthokeratology, multifocal lenses, and atropine, demonstrated significant control of refractive error and axial length.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Optometry
  • Myopia Control Research

Background:

  • The global increase in myopia necessitates effective interventions to slow its progression.
  • Childhood myopia is a growing public health concern requiring evidence-based management strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a clinical myopia treatment algorithm in a real-world setting.
  • To assess the algorithm's impact on refractive error and axial elongation in children with progressive myopia.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort analysis of 342 myopic children treated for at least one year.
  • The algorithm incorporated orthokeratology, multifocal lenses, and atropine.
  • Outcomes measured included cycloplegic spherical equivalent autorefraction (CSER) progression and axial elongation at 1, 2, and 3 years.

Main Results:

  • Mean annual CSER change ranged from -0.30 D to -0.13 D, with 56-60% of patients showing ≤0.25 D progression.
  • Mean annual axial elongation ranged from 0.13 mm to 0.09 mm, with 46-65% of patients showing ≤0.10 mm progression.
  • Cumulative absolute reduction in axial elongation reached 0.29 mm over three years.

Conclusions:

  • The myopia treatment algorithm effectively controlled CSER and axial length in children.
  • This supports the algorithm's utility in the clinical management of progressive childhood myopia.
