Summary
High-intensity light exposure caused a full-thickness macular hole in a soldier. Surgical management with vitrectomy and internal limiting membrane (ILM) double flap successfully closed the hole, improving vision.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Military Medicine
- Trauma Surgery
Background:
- High-intensity light exposure, such as from military spotlights, can cause severe ocular injury.
- Full-thickness macular holes are a significant cause of vision loss, particularly in the macula.

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment
1.6K
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
1.1K
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.
