symptoms of angle closure glaucoma

A

N/V, diminished vision, red eye, symptoms might come on after being in a dark environment,

43
Q

PE of angle closure glaucoma

A

cloudy cornea, iris shadow, pupil fixed and dialated

44
Q

pathophys for open angle glaucoma

A

mechanical(no drainage of aqueous humor = IOP), vascular mechanism(htn), glutamate toxicity (from glutathione def.= oxidative damage)

45
Q

Is angle closure an emergency and what is the RF

A

yes, could lead to blindness- hyperopia or far vision

46
Q

Open angle RF

A

myopia, etoh, htn, age, hypothyroid, DM, Fmx

47
Q

PE findings of both glaucomas

A

loss of peripheral vision could lead to central vision loss, increase in IOP, iris shadow, Increased cup to disc ratio

48
Q

what is the dangerous part about open angle

A

It’s painless and can eventually lead to vision loss due to optic nerve damage

49
Q

tx for glaucoma

A

cholinergics(pilocarpine), beta blockers, eye drop(forskolin, fennel), avoid vasoconstrictors ie caffeine, antioxidants( vit c, glutathione etc.), ALA*, Magnesium, b12

URGENT, more blood to the deprived tissue = hemorrhages, *acute vision loss (days to weeks), may look like flame hemm. or pooling of blood

60
Q

Tx of wet
