Disturbance of optic nerve func

89
Q

Acute or chronic glaucoma:

A

Acute glaucoma

90
Q

Acute/chronic glaucoma:

Gradual closure of angle and gradual increase in iop, symptoms may be absent

A

Chronic glaucoma

91
Q

Iop increased because aqueous could not flow to trabecular mesh work due to apposition of iris to the anterior chamber angle

A

Primary angle closure glaucoma

92
Q

This disease arises because if an inherited a atomic defect that causes a shallow anterior chamber

A

Primary angle closure glaucoma

93
Q

Treatment of choice for primary angle closure glaucoma

94
Q

Principle of management of primary angle closure glaucoma

A

Lower iop
Analgesic
Referral to ophthalmologist

95
Q

Closure of angle brought about by condi in eye that causes the iris to move towards the mesh work. (Eg exaggeration of pupillary block such as uveitis, lens dislocation, bulging hyaloid face)

A

Secondary angle closure glaucoma

96
Q

The treatment of Secondary angle closure glaucoma is directed to ocular condition that gives rise to it

A

Principle of therapy is the same as primary angle closure type

97
Q

Aqueous has access to the anterior chamber angle all the time because there is no ore existing ocular or systemic disease that can be tagged as causative agent. It is symptom-free chronic, slowly progressive condi.
