Non-Penetrating Glaucoma Filtering Surgery-An overview
Trabeculectomy remains the standard surgery for intraocular pressure control for glaucoma. It involves a full thickness penetration of sclera, to allow aqueous seepage to subconjunctival space under a scleral flap. However, it carries the risk of serious bleb related complications like overfiltration, hypotony and consequent persistent choroidal detachment, shallow anterior chamber, cataract, p...
متن کاملIris transillumination defects in patients with primary open angle glaucoma.
PURPOSE To examine the incidence and pattern of iris transillumination defects in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) with and without vascular dysregulation, in comparison to controls. METHODS We prospectively examined 24 patients with POAG (M/F 10:14; mean age 59 +/- 14, range 21-76 years) and 23 controls (M/F 10:13; mean age 52 +/- 15, range 25-86 years). Vascular dysregulatio...
متن کاملPathology of Trabecular Nerves in Open-angle Glaucoma.
ADVANCED degenerative nerve fibre pathology is found all through the trabeculae of both eyes of a patient with well-documented open-angle glaucoma. These findings substantiate the nerve fibre changes described in both eyes of another case of open-angle glaucoma (Wolter, 1959a). Innervation of the normal trabecula by delicate branching nerve fibres ending with free terminals without special end-...
متن کاملGlycans of the trabecular meshwork in primary open angle glaucoma.
AIMS Glycan expression was compared in glaucomatous trabecular meshwork (TM) and normal TM in order to determine any differences which may reflect pathological changes underlying primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). METHODS Resin embedded TM from trabeculectomy specimens from 15 eyes with POAG and from 12 eyes with normal anterior segments were probed with a panel of biotinylated lectins and a...
متن کاملObstruction of trabecular orifices in primary open - angle glaucoma
The morphologic and structural changes undergone by the trabecular meshwork have frequently been related to the development of primary open-angle glaucoma, which consists of a sustained increase in intraocular pressure due to the accumulation of aqueous humour in the anterior chamber of the eye. The aqueous humour leaves the anterior chamber of the eye, passing through the trabecular orifices t...
