Symptoms and types of glaucoma

Corner recession: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Angle recession - a rupture of the ciliary body between its longitudinal and circular muscle layers - develops as a result of blunt or penetrating trauma to the eyeball.

Traumatic hyphema: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Hyphema - the presence of blood in the anterior chamber. The amount of blood may be microscopic (microhyphema), when erythrocytes in the aqueous humor are visible only with biomicroscopy, or the blood is located in a layer in the anterior chamber.

Phacomorphic glaucoma

Phacomorphic glaucoma develops with secondary angle closure, mature or overmature cataract. It differs from previous pathologies in the swelling of the lens, shallow anterior chamber and closed angle.

Phacogenic uveitis (phacoanaphylaxis): causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Phacogenic uveitis, phacoanaphylactic uveitis, is a rare granulomatous inflammatory process that develops when the immune system's tolerance to lens proteins is impaired, usually accompanied by hypotension.

Crystalline lens glaucoma

Lens mass glaucoma develops when the lens capsule is damaged and its cortex and proteins are released into the anterior chamber. This situation occurs after extracapsular cataract extraction, lens trauma with capsule rupture, and neodymium YAG laser posterior capsulotomy, in which free lens particles clog the trabecular meshwork, disrupting the outflow of aqueous humor.

Phacolytic glaucoma or lens protein glaucoma

Phacolytic glaucoma occurs with mature or hypermature cataracts. When soluble lens proteins leak into the anterior chamber, the trabecular meshwork becomes blocked, leading to increased intraocular pressure.

Phacogenic open-angle glaucoma: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Phacogenic open-angle glaucoma includes three different diagnoses with similar clinical symptoms. Phacolytic glaucoma, glaucoma of the lens masses, and phacogenic uveitis (FGU) develop with an intraocular inflammatory process, an abnormal lens, and increased intraocular pressure, but hypotension usually develops later.

Sarcoidosis and glaucoma

Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease characterized by the formation of noncaseating, granulomatous inflammatory infiltrates in the lungs, skin, liver, spleen, central nervous system, and eyes.

Lens-related uveitis and glaucoma

When lens proteins penetrate through an intact or damaged capsule into the anterior chamber of the eye or the vitreous cavity, a strong intraocular inflammatory reaction is triggered, which can result in a disruption of the outflow of intraocular fluid with the development of an acute increase in intraocular pressure or glaucoma.

Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and glaucoma

Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is a common cause of uveitis in children, which often leads to increased intraocular pressure and glaucoma.
