Glaucoma
Group of diseases characterized by increased intraocular pressure resulting in
damage to the optic nerve and retinal nerve fibers
![Page 2: Glaucoma](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814abc550346895db7cee1/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
It is a combination of ocular conditions that result in damage to the optic nerve head and a loss of the visual field. Most forms of glaucoma follow the classic triad of (1) increased intraocular pressure, (2) optic nerve damage, and (3) a loss of side vision.
![Page 3: Glaucoma](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814abc550346895db7cee1/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
It is a symptomatic condition of the eye in which the I.O.P. exceeds the tolerance the affected eye resulting in visual dysfunction

Rise in intraocular pressure(IOP)
• Determined by:
1.An increase in formation of the aqueous
2.A decrease in the drainage of the aqueous
![Page 5: Glaucoma](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814abc550346895db7cee1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Decreased drainage
Plays:- Improper development of the angle of A.C.- Narrow configuration of the angle of A.C.- Obstruction of the trabecular mesh work (particulate material)- Peripheral anterior synechiae- Plasmoid aqueous- Pupil block (lens/seclusio pupillae)

Primary open glaucoma(POAG)
• Previously known as Chronic simple glaucoma• Defined as
Chronic progressive neuropathy resulting
- (Cupping of the disc)- Visual field defects - Associated with elevated IOP
![Page 10: Glaucoma](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814abc550346895db7cee1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Pathophysiology
• Interference of outflow• May be due to degenerative changes in:- Trabecular- Schlemm’s canal- Exit channels
![Page 11: Glaucoma](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814abc550346895db7cee1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Fig. 3.11: Aqueous humor (green) drains through the
trabecular meshwork into Schlemm's canal. • Increase outflow resistant in trabecular meshwork or in
Schlemm canal

POAG:
Presentations - More common than angle closure- Age 40yrs and > Much more common- Male more affected ?- Familial tendency More- Associated with diabetes 3 time more- Preferentially in subjects of Vascular sclerosis- Increased prevalence in High myopia

- B/L symptom free chronic condition- Slow progressive course- Mild pain in eye/periorbital region- Frequent change of glass- Insidious onset (unnoticed till serious field impairment)- Slow and silent killer of the vision
(Known as Chronic Simple Glaucoma)

Suggestions
• Eye examinations:
- Before Admission at primary school
- Thorough if possible twice in year
- If impossible Once in a year- Detail examination advised to begin Presbyopic glass - Screening camps in school or Target Population

Intra Ocular Pressure(IOP)
• Great variation in open angle glaucoma• Careful tonometry is essential• Exaggeration of the normal diurnal variation• Mean of 3.7 mm of Hg• Biphasic rise in some patients may occur.• Asymmetric C.D.R.> 0.2• Nasal displacement of blood vessels
![Page 16: Glaucoma](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814abc550346895db7cee1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Cupping of the disc
• Physiological cupping• Pathological cupping • Cup Disc Ratio

Visual field defect
• Must be determined
- Central field- Peripheral field
1.Small Central/Para central Scotomas (2 to 4 degree)- Relative / Absolute
![Page 18: Glaucoma](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814abc550346895db7cee1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2.Sickle extension of blind spot (above/below)
- Seidel’s Sign
- Bjerrum’s scotoma
-Roenne’s nasal step
- Tubular vision
small central/Para central visual field
(visual acuity may or may not be affected)
Generalized constriction of the peripheral field is considered as early glaucoma
Peripheral field may be generalized constriction

Normal or low tension glaucoma
• Glaucoma is usually high pressure inside the eye that damages the optic nerve and can result in permanent vision loss.
• Normal-tension glaucoma (also called low-tension glaucoma) is a unique condition in which optic nerve damage and vision loss have occurred despite a normal pressure inside the eye.
![Page 27: Glaucoma](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814abc550346895db7cee1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
NTG/LTG
• Normal tension glaucoma (NTG), also known as low tension or normal pressure glaucoma
• is a form of glaucoma in which damage occurs to the optic nerve without eye pressure exceeding the normal range.
• In general, a “normal” pressure range is between 10-20 mm Hg.
![Page 28: Glaucoma](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814abc550346895db7cee1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• Glaucoma is generally associated with high pressure in the eyes
• But many cases of glaucoma occur in the absence of high pressure readings during exams.
![Page 29: Glaucoma](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814abc550346895db7cee1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Ocular hypertension
• Ocular hypertension is an elevation of the pressure in the eye above the range considered normal with no detectable changes in vision or damage to the structures of the eyes.

Management of POAG
• Reduce IOP to the level:-Doesn’t cause damage to optic nerve/fibers of the nerve
-Judged by stabilizing visual field
-Unchanged appearance of optic disc
Visual field defect progressing after normalization of IOP
Indications:- Medical +Surgical- Combination
![Page 45: Glaucoma](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814abc550346895db7cee1/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Management
• Medical Treatment• Laser treatment• Surgical treatment
![Page 46: Glaucoma](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814abc550346895db7cee1/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
1.Medical treatment
Cholinergic Drugs(Parasympathomimetics effect• Pilocarpine• Carbachol- Binding cholinesterase
(Anticholinesterase action)
- Resulting constriction of pupil(miosis)
- Contraction of ciliary muscles
- Opening Trabecular meshwork
- Facilitates the aqueous outflow
![Page 47: Glaucoma](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814abc550346895db7cee1/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Adrenergic Antagonist or Beta-Blockers
• Nonselective Beta1 and Beta 2agents:
-Timolol maleate:
Reduces IOP lowering the rate of aqueous production
May result Broncho spasm and Vascular Hypotension• Selective Beta blocker (B1Blocker)
![Page 48: Glaucoma](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814abc550346895db7cee1/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor
• Acetazolamide
Reduces IOP by decreasing:- The carbonic anhydrase depend aqueous production- Decreases the availability of Bicarbonate
2. Laser Trabeculoplasty(LT)
-Argon laser or Diode laser Trabeculoplasty to control IOP
-Alternative of filtration surgery
3.Trabeculectomy
4.Trabeculotomy
