The goals of management are to prevent both progression of anatomic angle-closure and progression of glaucomatous optic neuropathy, the latter by controlling intraocular pressure. Laser iridotomy to eliminate pupillary block is the definitive initial treatment and laser peripheral iridoplasty is the second-line ...
متن کاملEfficacy of goniosynechialysis for advanced chronic angle-closure glaucoma
PURPOSE To evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy of goniosynechialysis (GSL) for advanced chronic angle-closure glaucoma (CACG) using a simplified slit-lamp technique. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with CACG with one severely affected eye with best-corrected visual acuity below 20/200 and a mildly or functionally unaffected fellow eye were enrolled in this study.

متن کاملGonioscopic 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: ...
متن کاملManagement of Secondary Angle Closure Glaucoma.
Secondary angle closure glaucomas are a distinct entity from primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG). Unlike PACG, secondary angle closure glaucoma's have an identifable contributory factor/s for angle closure and obstruction of aqueous fow which is usually unrelieved by iridotomy. The treatment of each type of secondary angle closure glaucoma is varied, so identification of the primary cause aid...
