Glaucoma parameters are measured by evaluating the excavation of the optic nerve disk, the defects of the SNV and, possibly, the ratio of their thickness in the macula. These parameters are reliable signs of glaucoma and its progression.
With scanning laser polarimetry (SLP), the peripapillary thickness of SNV is determined when measuring the total birefringence of the fundus.
Confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy - a method for the formation and analysis of a three-dimensional topographic image of the optic nerve disk in real time.
Increased intraocular pressure and the development of glaucoma in patients with uveitis is a multifactorial process that can be considered as a complication of intraocular inflammatory process.
Glauco-cyclical crisis is a syndrome that manifests itself as repeated episodes of light idiopathic unilateral non-granulomatous anterior uveitis in combination with a pronounced increase in intraocular pressure.
Infection of the eye caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV) is manifested as recurrent unilateral blepharoconjunctivitis, epithelial and stromal keratitis and uveitis.
Facomorphic glaucoma develops with the secondary closure of a corner, mature or overripe cataract. Its difference from previous pathologies lies in the swelling of the lens, shallow anterior chamber and closed corner.
Glaucoma (from the Greek glaukos) - "watery blue". For the first time this term was mentioned in Hippocrates's "Aphorisms" about 400 BC. Over the next few hundred years, it was believed that glaucoma is a disease of the lens.
Congenital glaucoma is a group of conditions with anomalies in the development of the system of outflow of intraocular moisture. This group includes: congenital glaucoma, in which an anomaly in the development of the anterior chamber angle is not associated with other ocular or systemic abnormalities; Congenital glaucoma with concomitant ocular or systemic abnormalities; secondary glaucoma of childhood, in which other eye pathologies cause a violation of outflow of fluid.
An aniridia is a bilateral congenital anomaly, in which the iris is considerably underdeveloped, but under gonioscopy a rudimentary rudiment of the iris is visible. In 2/3 of cases, a dominant type of inheritance is observed with high penetrance.
