Managing a patient with open-angle glaucoma: a case study
Case presentation. Mr AA is a 48-year-old shop attendant who presented at the eye unit of a teaching hospital with a history of gradual, painless vision loss. His presenting (unaided) visual acuity was counting fingers at 1 metre in the right eye and 6/60 in the left eye. Both corneas were clear, and the pupils had a slow reaction to light.
Diagnosing & Managing Glaucoma: A Case Study
This case study is an example of how meticulously and elegantly we can identify structural and functional defects by incorporating more than one imaging modality when diagnosing glaucoma patients.Although nerve fiber layer OCT imaging is often the most useful to detect early glaucoma, in some instances, the defect can be so localized that it is easy to miss when surrounded by healthy nerve ...
Challenging Glaucoma Cases
In the Collaborative Normal Tension Glaucoma Study (CNTGS), the goal of treatment was a 30% reduction in IOP. 1 For this patient, a pressure of 13 mm Hg would be a reasonable goal. In the CNTGS, reducing pressures by 30% reduced the progression rate from 35% to 12%. Even with that aggressive pressure reduction, however, 12% of the treated ...
Patient Case #1: 58-year-old patient with open angle glaucoma utilizing
Our first case is a 58-year-old practicing vascular surgeon who had LASIK surgery in 1995. He was referred in for a glaucoma and cataract evaluation. He's on maximal medical therapies, intolerant to other medications, as you can see, he's on latanoprost and Combigan.

Case No.2 Moderate Glaucomatous Field Loss Figure 2A shows the results of SITA Standard testing for a 26-year-old man with juvenile primary open-angle glaucoma. The fixation losses and the false positive and false negative errors are all within acceptable limits.
Practical Approach to Glaucoma: Case-based
These graphics provide great clarity to those who study and care for patients with glaucoma. At the end of each chapter, there are illustrative case examples to ground the material and make it relatable to the reader. Practical Approach to Glaucoma: Case-based is a nice addition to the glaucoma literature. It is beautifully illustrated, clear ...

Visual improvement following glaucoma surgery: a case report
Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy and a leading cause of blindness. Neural losses from glaucoma are irreversible, and so the aim of glaucoma treatment is to slow progression and minimize the risk of further damage. Functional improvement with treatment is not expected. We report the case of a patient who experienced a significant improvement in vision following glaucoma surgery and ...

Chronic open-angle glaucoma: case study
Chronic open-angle glaucoma and its pathophysiology. Glaucoma occurs when the drainage tubules (trabecular meshwork) in the eye are unable to drain the eye effectively of liquid aqueous humour, produced by the ciliary processes. As a result, intraocular pressure builds up, which, if left untreated, can permanently damage the optic nerve and ...
Clinical Trials in Glaucoma
A total of 255 patients were randomized between 1993 and 1997 and were followed for at least 4 years. All had generally good health status; mean age was 68.1 years, and 66% were women. At baseline, mean IOP was 20.6 mmHg and 80% of eyes had IOP less than 25 mmHg. 10% of the patients had pseudoexfoliation glaucoma.

Glaucoma and Exercise: What to Tell Your Patients
Subsequent studies and case reports tested headstand pose, demonstrating a twofold rise in IOP. 8 "Doing headstands and shoulderstands is a real no-no for glaucoma patients, especially if you're going to do them for 20 minutes a day," Dr. Ritch said.
Case report: 16-year-old presents with asymptomatic glaucoma
Case report. A few weeks ago, a mother and her 2 children came in as new patients. There was no known history of glaucoma in the family. The mother was having a difficult time seeing at night, which was alleviated with a low myopic prescription. Of note, her IOPs were normal and her optic nerves were healthy.
Atypical phacolytic glaucoma diagnosed by biometry and anterior segment
The diagnosis of phacolytic glaucoma was established with the aid of current imaging OCT systems. Both OCT images were suggestive of a phacolytic nature of our case, despite the fact that the clinical presentation was not in concordance with such a typical case. In view of our findings the decision was to proceed with cataract extraction alone.
Reliability of Visual Field Testing in Children With Glaucoma Is Less
Study Design. This was a retrospective case series of 136 children aged ≤18 years (247 eyes) with glaucoma or glaucoma suspect who had undergone at least 1 HVF test. Fifteen percent of the children were aged 0-8 years, 50% were aged 9-13 years, and 35% were aged 14-18 years.
