Abstract:
The author suggests a method for accurate positioning of the edges of the rigid pupil edge in radial iridosphyncterotomy in cataract extraction, this permitting a minimally traumatic intra- or extracapsular cataract extraction and, if necessary, IOL implantation to the lens sac or to the posterior chamber, after which the supramide suture previously made at the pupil edge is tied before radial iridosphyncterotomy. Eighteen sphyncteroiridoplastic surgeries of the rigid pupil were carried out after cataract extractions.

01:25Glaucoma: Overview
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...
01:28Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment
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...
