Pigmentary glaucoma is a result of pigment dispersion syndrome. This occurs when pigment granules flake off the iris, affecting aqueous humor flow. This disruption clogs your eye’s drainage system and trabecular meshwork, leading to intraocular pressure elevation (IOP).
Pigmentary glaucoma is a type of secondary open-angle glaucoma characterized by heavy homogenous pigmentation of the trabecular meshwork, iris transillumination defects, and pigment along the corneal endothelium (Krukenberg spindle).
Pigmentary glaucoma occurs when pigment from the iris, which is the colored part of the eye surrounding the pupil, disperses to other parts of the eye. The condition begins with pigment...
Pigmentary glaucoma is most common in young, nearsighted males. Symptoms are subtle, and they include haloes around lights. Treatment aims to reduce pressure, not keep pigment in place.
Pigmentary Glaucoma - Glaucoma Research Foundation. What are Pigment Dispersion Syndrome and Pigmentary Glaucoma? Pigment dispersion syndrome is a condition where pigment from the back of the iris (the colored part of the eye) is released and becomes trapped in the drainage system of the eye.
This activity describes the evaluations, diagnosis, and management of pigment dispersion syndrome (PDS) and pigmentary glaucoma (PG). It describes the important clinical signs and symptoms in patients at risk and how to follow patients over time.
Pigment dispersion syndrome (PDS) is an eye disorder that can lead to a form of glaucoma known as pigmentary glaucoma. It takes place when pigment cells slough off from the back of the iris and float around in the aqueous humor.
Approach Considerations. The intraocular pressure (IOP) in pigment dispersion syndrome (PDS) and pigmentary glaucoma (PG) is subject to large spontaneous fluctuations. This tendency should be...
Pigment dispersion syndrome (PDS) and pigmentary glaucoma (PG) are characterized by loss of pigment from the posterior surface of the iris and excessive pigment release throughout the...
