Symptoms and types of glaucoma

Giant filtration pads and glaucoma

Giant pads can grow on the cornea, occupying the central zone and inducing asymmetric astigmatism with the impossibility of correcting visual acuity. Treatment of giant pads should be progressive, starting with the simplest methods and moving on to more complex ones.

External filtration and glaucoma

External filtration develops with a small hole in the wall of the filtration cushion, which leads to the outflow of intraocular fluid with direct communication between the outer surface and the inner cavity of the cushion.

Small and flat anterior chamber and glaucoma

Depending on the etiology, high or low intraocular pressure is recorded with flat chambers. The doctor establishes a diagnosis based on the detection of a flat or shallow chamber in the postoperative period, clinical history, examination data, and the level of intraocular pressure.

Hypotonic maculopathy

Hypotonic maculopathy is a condition in which folds of the choroid and/or retina form involving the macular region, resulting in decreased vision due to hypotony.

Malignant glaucoma: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Intraocular fluid flow disorder syndrome (malignant glaucoma) usually develops after penetrating surgery, but cases of its occurrence after laser procedures have also been described.

Iridocorneal syndrome: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Iridocorneal syndrome is rare, and its exact prevalence is unknown. Typically, the disease is seen in middle-aged women, with one eye affected.

Neovascular glaucoma: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) is a secondary closed-angle glaucoma. Initially, a fibrovascular membrane grows over the trabecular meshwork. The angle is open but blocked.

Flat iris: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Flat iris usually develops in women aged 40-60. Hyperopia with flat iris is not as common as with secondary angle closure with relative pupillary block.

Primary closed-angle glaucoma: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Closed-angle glaucoma, developing with predisposing to this disease forms of the iris, is called primary closed-angle. Pathology can be with acute, subacute and secondary chronic closure of the angle with pupillary block or flat iris.

Cyclodialysis: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Cyclodialysis is a focal detachment of the ciliary body from its attachment to the scleral spur. Cyclodialysis occurs after blunt or penetrating trauma or as a complication of intraocular surgery, resulting in temporary or permanent hypotony.
