Abstract

Purpose:

To report a severe complication of laser chorioretinal anastomosis for central retinal vein occlusion.

Method:

Case report.

Results:

In the right eye of a 62-year-old woman with nonischemic central retinal vein occlusion, retinal neovascularization at the laser chorioretinal anastomosis site caused dense secondary vitreous hemorrhage. Vitreous hemorrhage prevented laser panretinal photocoagulation for subsequent iris neovascularization, necessitating vitrectomy surgery to clear the hemorrhage and allow the treatment.

Conclusion:

Laser chorioretinal anastomosis can result in severe vitreous hemorrhage and complicate efforts to manage later sequelae of central retinal vein occlusion.

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...

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...
