Glaucoma: Overview

577
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...

Accessory Structures of the Eye

1.6K
Optical perception, or vision, is an extraordinary sense dependent on converting light signals received via the ocular organs. These organs, known as eyes, are securely positioned within the bony cavities of the skull, called orbits. The orbits serve a dual purpose: a protective shield for the ocular globes and a stable attachment point for the soft ocular tissues. The eye's external protective mechanisms include the eyelids, which are edged with lashes that act as a barrier against foreign...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Public Health
  • Global Health

Background:

  • High prevalence of blindness in Cambodia, with over 180,000 individuals affected.
  • Ninety percent of blindness is avoidable, curable, or preventable, with cataracts being the leading cause.
  • Significant backlog of over 300,000 patients requiring cataract surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the operational model and clinical work of the Khmer Sight Foundation (KSF).
  • To highlight KSF's three-pronged approach to establishing sustainable eye care in Cambodia.
  • To outline future goals for improving eye health services and training.

Main Methods:

  • Developing sustainable eye care infrastructure within Cambodia.
  • Addressing the cataract backlog through international support and surgical interventions.
  • Establishing an optometry education program and training Cambodian ophthalmologists.

Main Results:

  • KSF is actively working on building eye care infrastructure.
  • International support is being leveraged to manage the cataract backlog.
  • An optometry education program is being developed to train future eye care professionals.

Conclusions:

  • The Khmer Sight Foundation offers a comprehensive strategy for sustainable eye care in Cambodia.
  • Addressing infrastructure, treatment, and education is crucial for reducing the burden of avoidable blindness.
  • Continued efforts and international collaboration are essential for long-term success in improving vision health.
