Ocular hypertension (IOP 30 - 70 mmHg) with open angle of anterior chamber and unilateral mild granulomatous anterior uveitis are hallmark signs of Posner–Schlossman syndrome. [2] On slit-lamp examination, conjunctival injections, epithelial corneal edema, [ 3 ] small to medium-sized fine keratitic precipitates, aqueous cells and flare may ...
The word glaucoma comes from the Ancient Greek word γλαυκός (glaukós), meaning 'gleaming, blue-green, gray'. There are different types of glaucoma, but the most common are called open-angle glaucoma and closed-angle glaucoma. [7] Inside the eye, a liquid called aqueous humor helps to maintain shape and provides nutrients.
Because uveitic glaucoma is a progressive stage of anterior non infectious uveitis, uveitic glaucoma involves signs and symptoms of both glaucoma and uveitis.. Patients with acute non infectious anterior uveitis may experience the following symptoms: pain, blurry vision, headache, photophobia (discomfort or pain due to light exposure), or the observance of haloes around lights.
Phacomorphic glaucoma is an eye disease that can occur due to a neglected advanced cataract.In this, the mature cataractous lens cause secondary angle closure glaucoma.The presence of an asymmetric mature cataractous lens, shallow or closed anterior chamber angle, raised intraocular pressure (IOP) and other typical signs and symptoms of angle-closure glaucoma in the eye may lead to a diagnosis ...
Uveitis–glaucoma–hyphaema (UGH) syndrome, also known as Ellingson syndrome, is a complication of cataract surgery, caused by intraocular lens subluxation or dislocation. The chafing of mispositioned intraocular lens over iris , ciliary body or iridocorneal angle cause elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) anterior uveitis and hyphema .
Over many years, glaucoma has been defined by an intraocular pressure of more than 20 mm Hg. Incompatible with this (now obsolete) definition of glaucoma was the ever larger number of cases that have been reported in medical literature in the 1980s and 1990s who had the typical signs of glaucomatous damage, like optic nerve head excavation and thinning of the retinal nerve fiber layer, while ...
However, early-stage secondary glaucoma rarely occurs with the readily available prescription of anti-inflammatory medications. On the other hand, late-stage glaucoma is commonly associated with open-angle glaucoma but the mechanisms are currently unconfirmed. Yet, it is believed to be closely related to the onset of trabeculitis or vitreous ...
[1] [2] [3] The condition occurs in predominantly middle-aged women. [ 1 ] [ 4 ] [ 3 ] Iridocorneal Endothelial (ICE) syndrome presents a unique set of challenges for both patients and ophthalmologists , and effective treatment of this group of rare ocular diseases requires a combination of diagnostic and therapeutic complexity.
