Glaucoma is defined as an optic neuropathy causing peripheral vision loss. The etiology of glaucoma can be divided according to its pathophysiology. The broad classifications of glaucoma include open-angle and closed-angle glaucoma. As determined in the 2000 US census, it is estimated that primary open-angle glaucoma affects 2.22 million US citizens ...

It is now generally accepted that there are two fundamentally different types of primary glaucoma, the so-called wide-angle (open-angle) and the narrow-angle (angleclosure) glaucoma. While the two types have in common an obstruction to outflow of aqueous from the anterior chamber, and hence an elevated ocular tension, which resultsoss of function of ...

The genetics of angle closure glaucoma
Experimental Eye Research, 2019Glaucoma, the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, can be divided into two major types: primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG). PACG could lead to severe vision loss and has a high prevalence among Asian populations.

Acute angle closure is an emergent ophthalmic condition that develops as a result of an obstructed outflow of aqueous humour between the anterior and posterior chambers of the eye, leading to a sudden rise in intraocular pressure and secondary optic neuropathy if left untreated.

Angle-Closure Glaucoma in Nanophthalmos
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1979Two patients had nanophthalmos with uveal effusion and angle-closure glaucoma. They were treated with a method based on the use of the laser, not only to perform iridotomy but to shrink the iris stroma, which appears to open the anterior chamber angle even without iridotomy.

Cycloscopy of angle-closure glaucoma
Albrecht von Graefes Archiv f�r Klinische und Experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 1977Cycloscopy was performed in eyes with primary angle-closure glaucoma and non-glaucomatous wide-angle. In all eyes of primary angle-closure glaucoma, the ciliary processes were accessible through the small pupil by cycloscopy with minimal or no indentation. In fellow eyes of the previously acute-attack eyes, the ciliary processes were visualized through

Angle-Closure Glaucoma: Surgical Management of Acute Angle-Closure Glaucoma
2009The initial treatment for acute primary angle-closure aims to reduce the intraocular pressure (IOP) as rapidly as possible to relieve symptoms and prevent further ocular tissue damage. Traditionally, IOP is lowered by topical or systemic hypotensive medications, which often will break the acute attack, and then the pupillary block is relieved by laser ...
