A New Acute Attack of Angle Closure Glaucoma Animal Model with Healon 5

Gonioscopic Features in Patients with Acute and Chronic Angle-Closure Glaucoma

Background: A number of ocular biometric parameters, iris hiotologic and anatomic characters have been suggested as inciting factors for converting patients with narrow angle to angle-closure glaucoma. This study was conducted to determine if there was any goniscopic difference between patients with acute angle-closure glaucoma (AACG) and chronic angle-closure glaucoma (CACG). Methods: ...

Misdiagnosis of acute angle closure glaucoma.

When acute glaucoma presents in its classical form, the diagnosis is fairly simple to make. However, atypical presentations are not uncommon and the diagnosis can be missed. This inevitably leads to a delay in treatment which can permanently compromise visual function. We have studied which doctors are most likely to make a misdiagnosis and calculated the resulting delay in treatment. All patie...

[Treatment of acute angle-closure glaucoma].

Treatment of acute angle-closure glaucoma is now better adapted for each stage of the disease. The urgent necessity to lower intraocular pressure is normally achieved using medical therapy followed by laser peripheral iridotomy and sometimes by filtration surgery. Early argon laser peripheral iridoplasty is effective and safe in some cases, allowing a very early peripheral iridotomy to be perfo...
