The buildup of protein clumps can block normal drainage of the eye fluid called the aqueous humor and can cause, in turn, a buildup of pressure leading to glaucoma and loss of vision [3] (pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, exfoliation glaucoma). As worldwide populations become older because of shifts in demography, PEX may become a matter of greater ...
Uveitis–glaucoma–hyphaema (UGH) syndrome, also known as Ellingson syndrome, is a complication of cataract surgery, caused by intraocular lens subluxation or dislocation. The chafing of mispositioned intraocular lens over iris , ciliary body or iridocorneal angle cause elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) anterior uveitis and hyphema .
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can lead to damage of the optic nerve. The optic nerve transmits visual information from the eye to the brain. Glaucoma may cause vision loss if left untreated. It has been called the "silent thief of sight" because the loss of vision usually occurs slowly over a long period of time. [5]
Because uveitic glaucoma is a progressive stage of anterior non infectious uveitis, uveitic glaucoma involves signs and symptoms of both glaucoma and uveitis.. Patients with acute non infectious anterior uveitis may experience the following symptoms: pain, blurry vision, headache, photophobia (discomfort or pain due to light exposure), or the observance of haloes around lights.
This is a partial list of human eye diseases and disorders. The World Health Organization (WHO) publishes a classification of known diseases and injuries, the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, or ICD-10. This list uses that classification.
Since it was first described, A number of noninfectious etiological theories have been proposed including autonomic dysregulation, allergy, variation of developmental glaucoma, autoimmune/HLA-Bw54 and abnormality of the ciliary vasculature. [2] Initially, infectious etiologies were not considered because of the episodic nature of the acute attacks.
Phacomorphic glaucoma is an eye disease that can occur due to a neglected advanced cataract.In this, the mature cataractous lens cause secondary angle closure glaucoma.The presence of an asymmetric mature cataractous lens, shallow or closed anterior chamber angle, raised intraocular pressure (IOP) and other typical signs and symptoms of angle-closure glaucoma in the eye may lead to a diagnosis ...
Glaucoma is an eye disease often characterized by increased pressure within the eye or intraocular pressure (IOP). [61] Glaucoma causes visual field loss as well as severs the optic nerve. [62] Early diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma in patients is imperative because glaucoma is triggered by non-specific levels of IOP. [62]
