Results of trabeculectomy for pseudo - exfoliative glaucoma
In Scandinavia, pseudo-exfoliative glaucoma accounts for approximately one half of cases of open-angle glaucoma (Aasved, 197I) and displays a number of characteristic features that distinguish it from simple glaucoma. The intraocular pressure (IOP) is usually higher and the prognosis poorer. These eyes also display characteristic changes in the anterior ocular segment, including deposition of p...
متن کاملPseudo Exfoliation Syndrome : An identifiable cause of Open Angle Glaucoma
Pseudo exfoliation syndrome (XFS) is an age-related, generalized disorder of the extracellular matrix characterized by the production and progressive accumulation of an abnormal fibrillar extracellular material in many ocular tissues and is the most common identifiable cause of openangle glaucoma worldwide. Exfoliation syndrome plays an etiologic role in open-angle glaucoma, angle-closure glauc...
متن کاملStem Cells in Glaucoma Management
Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide. Despite tremendous advances in medical and surgical management of glaucoma in the recent years, the prevalence of glaucoma related blindness is anticipated to increase in the future decades because of the aging population. Stem cells have the potential to change the glaucoma management in several ways. There are several areas of ...
متن کاملPseudo-cuspforms, pseudo-Laplacians
(∆− λ)f = T for a Γ-invariant distribution T on H, compactly-supported on Γ\H. The three main examples for T are described in detail below. That is, a slight roughness is tolerated in f at the support of the Γ-invariant distribution T . Three natural types of target distributions T are: (i) T is supported at a single point on Γ\H, (ii) T is supported on a closed geodesic on Γ\H, (iii) T evaluat...
متن کاملWhat is the Real Cause of Glaucoma?
Introduction: The term glaucoma refers to a group of diseases that have a characteristic optic neuropathy with associated visual field loss in common. Intraocular pressure has been considered to be the only causal factor for glaucoma and the only factor that can be manipulated to alter the course of the disease. But considering high intraocular pressure as the only factor responsible for glauco...
