  2. Iridodialysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iridodialysis

    Those with traumatic iridodialyses (particularly by blunt trauma) are at high risk for angle recession, which may cause glaucoma. [3] This is typically seen about 100 days after the injury, and as such is sometimes called "100-day glaucoma". Medical or surgical treatment to control the IOP may be required if glaucoma is present. [7]

  3. Eye disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_disease

    The World Health Organization (WHO) publishes a classification of known diseases and injuries, the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, or ICD-10. This list uses that classification.

  4. Glaucoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaucoma

    Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in African Americans, Hispanic Americans, [10] [11] and Asians. [12] It occurs more commonly among older people, [1] and closed-angle glaucoma is more common in women. [2]

  5. Eye surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_surgery

    Glaucoma is a group of diseases affecting the optic nerve that results in vision loss and is frequently characterized by raised intraocular pressure. Many types of glaucoma surgery exist, and variations or combinations of those types can facilitate the escape of excess aqueous humor from the eye to lower intraocular pressure, and a few that ...

  6. Ocular hypertension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_hypertension

    For most individuals, the normal range of intraocular pressure is between 10 mmHg and 21 mmHg. [3] It is estimated that approximately 2-3% of people aged 52-89 years old have ocular hypertension of 25 mmHg and higher, and 3.5% of people 49 years and older have ocular hypertension of 21 mmHg and higher.

  7. Visual impairment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_impairment

    Currently, the best sign of pediatric glaucoma is an IOP of 21 mm Hg or greater present within a child. [63] One of the most common causes of pediatric glaucoma is cataract removal surgery, which leads to an incidence rate of about 12.2% among infants and 58.7% among 10-year-olds. [63]

  8. Rubeosis iridis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubeosis_iridis

    Once the neovascularization has been longstanding, the new vessels recruit fibrous tissue, and as this forms and contracts, the angle can be permanently damaged, and will not respond to treatment. If this occurs, then surgical intervention is required to reduce the pressure (such as a glaucoma drainage implant)

  9. Normal tension glaucoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_tension_glaucoma

    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 ...
