Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

505
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...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment01:27

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

391
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: Treatment01:28

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

435
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...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Oculoplastics

Background:

  • Entropion, the inward turning of the eyelid, is a prevalent condition.
  • It commonly affects older individuals and presents in several forms: involutional, cicatricial, spastic, and congenital.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive clinical review of entropion.
  • To detail the pathology, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment principles for entropion.

Main Methods:

  • This is a clinical review.
  • Literature review on entropion pathology, diagnosis, and treatment.

Main Results:

  • Involutional entropion is the most frequent type.
  • The lateral tarsal strip procedure is a common treatment, often combined with other techniques for eyelid eversion.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding entropion's classification is crucial for appropriate management.
  • Effective treatment strategies, including the lateral tarsal strip, aim to correct eyelid eversion.
