Cyclodiode laser therapy for painful, blind glaucomatous eyes.
AIMS To determine the ability of cyclodiode laser treatment to relieve discomfort in painful blind glaucomatous eyes. METHODS 30 eyes underwent cyclodiode to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) and relieve pain. Patients graded their pre-cyclodiode and post-cyclodiode pain. RESULTS After a minimum follow up of 6 months, a single cyclodiode treatment lowered mean IOP from 51 mm Hg (95% CI plus...
متن کاملCase Report Choroidal Melanoma with Secondary Glaucoma
The case of a 40-year-old female patient with choroidal melanoma with secondary glaucoma presenting as a painful blind right eye is reported. Liver metastasis was detected by ultrasonography. The choroidal tumor measured 2 x 2.1 x 1.5 cm; histopathology showed that it was of the spindle cell (spindle A) variety. Such tumors are rare in non-white races and secondary glaucoma is an uncommon prese...
متن کاملDecreased choroidal thickness in eyes with secondary angle closure glaucoma. An aetiological factor for deep retinal changes in glaucoma?
A decreased count of retinal photoreceptors all over the fundus and a loss of retinal pigment epithelium cells mainly in the parapapillary region have been reported to be associated with glaucoma. This study addressed the question whether this cell loss in the deep retinal layers may be connected with a change of the choroidal thickness in glaucomatous eyes. Histological sections of 12 eyes wit...
متن کامل[Importance of central corneal thickness when studying ocular hypertensive eyes, glaucoma suspects and preperimetric glaucomatous eyes].
PURPOSE To compare the central corneal thickness, measured with an ultrasound pachymeter, in normal subjects, those with ocular hypertension, glaucoma suspects and patients with preperimetric glaucoma. METHODS 61 normal eyes (control group), 131 eyes with ocular hypertension, 62 glaucoma suspects (optic nerve head morphology compatible with glaucoma) and 36 patients with preperimetric glaucom...
متن کاملPeripapillary Intrachoroidal Cavitation and Optic Pit in a Case of High Myopia and Glaucoma
Purpose: To report a case of peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation (choroidal schisis) and optic pit in a case of high myopia and open-angle glaucoma. Case report: A 30-year-old high myopic man was referred to our clinic for presumed peripapillary choroidal tumors. In funduscopy, there were two yellow-orange and slightly elevated peripapillary lesions in both eyes with indistinct margins. A s...
