In a previous article (Mooney, I972), the incidence and extent of angle tears was reported in a series of 53 cases of traumatic hyphaema examined within 3 years of the date of injury, and it was suggested that those cases with angle tears involving I8o° or more of the anterior chamber angle should have annual tonometry in order to detect the development of glaucoma in the injured eye at as earl...

Canine glaucoma encompasses a diverse group of diseases associated with an increase in intraocular pressure that results in retinal ganglion cell death and eventual blindness. Dogs may have congenital, primary, or secondary glaucoma. The diagnosis is made by recognizing clinical signs, interpreting ophthalmic examination findings, and determining intraocular pressure. Identifying the underlying...

Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) is a severe form of glaucoma with devastating visual outcome attributed to new blood vessels obstructing aqueous humor outflow, usually secondary to widespread posterior segment ischemia. Invasion of the anterior chamber by a fibrovascular membrane initially obstructs aqueous outflow in an open-angle fashion and later contracts to produce secondary synechial angle-clo...

Purpose The detection and diagnosis of glaucoma is challenging for health professionals. In the UK, approximately 45% of patients are discharged from secondary care after one visit. Automated imaging technologies are easy to perform and could potentially be used by trained technicians as triage tests for glaucoma diagnosis. The GATE study aims to compare the diagnostic performance of three tech...

Neovascular glaucoma is a secondary glaucoma with grave prognosis which follows ischemic retinal disorders in the majority of cases. Mediators that induce new vessel formation such as the vascular endothelial growth factor-A seem to play a key role in the pathophysiology of this condition. Herein, we report 2 cases with neovascular glaucoma secondary to ischemic central retinal vein occlusion w...

INTRODUCTION Selective laser trabeculoplasty is a treatment option to lower intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma. It has been proven to work in adults. We describe two pediatric patients with glaucoma who responded well to selective laser trabeculoplasty. CASE PRESENTATIONS Two patients with pediatric glaucoma underwent selective laser trabeculoplasty. Patient 1 was a nine-year-old ...

OBJECTIVE To elucidate long-term outcome of trabeculotomy in primary and secondary developmental glaucoma. METHODS One hundred forty-nine eyes of 89 patients with developmental glaucoma who underwent trabeculotomy were retrospectively studied. Intraocular pressure (IOP), success probabilities, visual acuities, and visual field were determined during follow-up and at the final visit. RESULTS...

BACKGROUND Inflammatory glaucoma is still a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma and surgical intervention is always associated with a high risk of failure or reactivation of the inflammatory disease. In this study we prospectively examined the value of transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation (TDLC) for the treatment of refractory inflammatory glaucoma. METHODS 22 eyes of 20 consecutive ...
