Posterior bowing of

A

Iris (concave)

35
Q

Secondary open angle glaucoma

Pigmentary glaucoma

Pigments

A

Epithelium contact with lens
Released causing Krukenburg spindles

Maybe asymptomatic
MC wrong mngt

A

Chronic

43
Q

Resistance of Irido-lenticular interface

Q

Akala mo open sya, flat yung central iris pero sa likod pala convex. On dilation, the angle closes the iris

A

Plateau iris

47
Q

There is anterior ciliary rotation. Yung ciliary body mo is anteriorly rotated so yung flow ng aqueous mo baliktad.

Aka ciliary block glaucoma

A

Malignant glaucoma

52
Q

Following surgery upon open eye with marked increased IOP and a closed or narrow angle
