Traumatic brain injury can cause various pathological conditions both in the eyeball and cranial cavity. The presented clinical case demonstrates features of differential diagnosis direct carotid-cavernous fistula secondary post-traumatic glaucoma. Direct is formation a communication between internal carotid artery cavernous sinus discharge arterial blood into it. first symptom pulsating noise ...

Associations between Obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and risk of glaucoma remained controversial. Therefore, we performed this meta-analysis to investigate this association. We searched Pubmed, EMBASE, and Wangfang databases for studies before Oct. 10 2014. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to calculate the strength of association. A total of 12 s...

Glaucoma is an eye disease that can lead to permanent blindness caused by increased Intraocular Pressure (IOP). There are several methods detect glaucoma, namely Optical Nerve Hypoplasia Stereo Photographs (ONHSPs), Coherence Tomography (OCT), Scanning Laser Polarimetry (SLP), and Confocal Ophthalmoscopy (CSLO). However, these require a lot of money expert supervision. In this paper, glaucoma c...

Glaucoma is a heterogeneous group of chronic neurodegenerative disorders characterized by relatively selective, progressive damage to the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons, which leads axon loss visual field alterations. To date, many studies have shown role various elements, mainly metals, in maintaining balance prooxidative antioxidative processes, regulation fluid ion flow throug...

Coexisting glaucoma and cataract is a common eye disorder in elderly population. Recent advances in the management of patients with coexisting cataract and glaucoma offer a promising alternative in patients with uncontrolled glaucoma and a cataract and provide an individualized treatment depending upon patient's characteristics and intraocular pressure (IOP). Based on many significant studies t...

The objective of the study was to evaluate the antiglaucoma effect of calcium channel blockers diltiazem and verapamil. Albino rabbits were used and chronic glaucoma was induced in them using freshly prepared 150 units of alphachymotrypsin. 0.1 mL of drug solution was administered topically into the left eye whereas the right served as control. The pressure recording was carried out at 15, 30, ...

Introduction: Self-management positively contributes to the Quality of Life of many patients with chronic diseases. Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between self-management and the quality of life and visual performance among patients with glaucoma. Materials and Methods: The current cross-sectional and comparative study was conducted at the...

Anterior chamber depth was measured in patients with primary open angle glaucoma, low tension glaucoma, pigmentary dispersion syndrome, and glaucoma suspects. Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that anterior chamber depth is a function of sex, age, and refractive error. Values for anterior chamber depth corrected for age and refractive error were greater in patients with pigmentar...

PURPOSE To investigate the causes and characteristics of glaucoma in children following cataract surgery. METHODS Twenty-four patients (37 eyes) with uncomplicated congenital cataracts who developed glaucoma after cataract surgery were studied retrospectively. Variables included cataract morphology, surgical techniques, post-operative complications, time to the onset of glaucoma, gonioscopic ...
