Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

Angle 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...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

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...

Glaucoma: Overview

Glaucoma: 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...

Ectopia lentis: management by combined lensectomy and vitrectomy

Modern Problems in Ophthalmology

|January 1, 1977

Summary

A new surgical technique removes dislocated lenses (ectopia lentis) and performs vitrectomy, potentially reducing complications associated with older methods.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Surgical Techniques
Lens Disorders

Background:

Lens dislocation (ectopia lentis) presents significant surgical challenges.
Previous techniques for managing ectopia lentis and performing concurrent vitrectomy carry notable risks and complications.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel surgical technique for the removal of subluxated or dislocated lenses.
To integrate vitrectomy seamlessly with lens removal.
To mitigate the complications associated with existing surgical approaches for ectopia lentis.

Main Methods:

The study describes a specific surgical approach for managing dislocated lenses.
The technique incorporates the performance of vitrectomy during the lens removal procedure.
Details of the procedural steps are presented to illustrate the method's application.
