Physical Injury: Trauma To The Eye

There were no intraoperative or postoperative problems. However in one patient elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) were detected at the postoperative control. Were considered steroid induced, the IOP returned to baseline levels after cessation of steroid. Throughout all follow-up years, a total of 5 eyes of 5 patients have been received a new intervention due to a tilt of the lens or had been dislocated from the iris. In this patients the endothelial cells loss was much higher than the

Explanation: This is a case of angle-closure glaucoma. Glaucoma is the second-leading cause of blindness in the U.S. It most often occurs in people over age 40. People at risk for angle-closure glaucoma usually show no symptoms before an attack. Some early symptoms of an attack may include blurred vision, halos, mild headaches or eye pain. People with these symptoms should be checked by their ophthalmologist as soon as possible. An attack of

My interest in the anatomy of the eye began when I was a small child. I was 8 years old when my father experienced retinal detachment in the first eye. I didn’t understand a whole lot of what was happening when my brother and I were whisked up and on a plane to a hospital in Portland for surgery. During the long wait, my mother began describing what was happening in my father’s eye. I remember sitting and

Pain can be another result of the disease and is affiliated with the height of the intraocular pressure and the velocity with which it rises to that level (Hoskins & Kass, 1989). Altered vision is also a possible result of this disease and occurs in many forms. Episodic blurring of vision is frequently arises when rapid increase of intraocular pressure causes corneal edema. Loss of Snellen visual acuity generally appears late in the sequence of glaucoma unless some other problems transpire, such as central retinal vein occlusion. Other symptoms may include things such as a change in the appearance of the eye, halo vision, and redness. Before other symptoms occur, an increased level of intraocular pressure is usually observed. These symptoms and an increase in intraocular pressure are likely to occur in both open-angle glaucoma and angle-closure glaucoma, which are two of the major types of glaucoma.

Glaucoma is several conditions of the eye that damage the optic nerve, which is vital to perfect vision. This damage is caused due to an abnormally high pressure in your eye. Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States. It can happen at any age but is most common in older adults. If you lose your vision due to glaucoma, it is not possible to gain it back. It is important to get regular eye appointments because if glaucoma is caught early, the loss of vision can be slowed or prevented. There are two types of glaucoma. Open-angle glaucoma and acute angle-closure glaucoma. The symptoms for these two are very different. Open-angle glaucoma symptoms include patchy blind spots in your central or side vision,

Results: The study included 40 eyes of 21 patients. All patients completed at least 6 months

Cataracts: As people age, proteins can gradually build up on the lens, causing a brownish or yellowish tint to the lens, blocking effective light transfer to the retina. Other things can cause the lens to lose it's clarity, include past eye surgery, injury or damage to the eye and chronic illnesses like diabetes. While more than 50% of Americans will either be living with a cataract or will have had surgery by the time they reach 80 years of age, even adults in their forties and fifties develop cataracts, and some babies are born with cataracts. Symptoms – cloudy vision, trouble driving at night, struggling to find a vision prescription that works well – gradually worsen over time. Surgery is currently the only therapeutic option.

Vision loss can be partial or total, depending on how detached the retina is from the eye. There are three different types of retinal detachment, which are rhegmatogenous, tractional, and exudative (Health). Rhegmatogenous is the most common retinal detachment which is when there is a hole or tear in the retina, and fluid gets behind the retina and separates it from the back of the eye (Health). Extreme nearsightedness can cause more strain on the eye and lead to a retina detachment. Retinal detachment can be fixed depending on how severe the tear is. Partial or total vision loss can happen if it is treated in

As a result of retinal haemorrhages, children can suffer with permanent damage to their vision due to the inflicted injury to the eye or the brain. Scarring of the retina or atrophy of the optic nerve may show up months after the injury, and is frequently irreversible. This can result in the infant suffering with severe vision impairments and even blindness (Blumenthal, 2002).

PDR causes new blood vessels to form over the retina and optic nerve. Unfortunately, the resulting blood vessels are usually accompanied by scar tissue. PDR can result in retina detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, traction retinal detachment, and neovascular glaucoma.

The most frequent ocular complications reported for all the AVM groups, are: vascular occlusions, aneurysm formation, intraretinal haemorrhage, exudation and cystoid macular oedema. Furthermore, neovascular glaucoma and open angle glaucoma have been described as a result of a retinal central vein occlusion [1].
