Summary
This study explores a new treatment for recurring staphylococcus-related marginal keratitis using chlorhexidine and vancomycin eye drops. The novel approach showed rapid resolution and sustained control for at least one year.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Microbiology
Background:
- Staphylococcus-related marginal keratitis involves corneal inflammation and is often recurrent.
- Conventional treatments (antibiotics, corticosteroids) have limitations, with frequent relapses after cessation.

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment
1.1K
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...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment
934
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.
