The second most common causes of
blindness worldwide. ( after cataract)
The commonest cause of irreversible
blindness in the world
Estimated that 3% of our population age
> 40 have glaucoma
![Page 3: The second most common causes of The commonest cause of](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013005/61cce417b56e9e7992437864/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
In the past:
› Disease of the eye due to higher than
normal intraocular pressure
Recently
› A group of disease processes in which
Progressive optic nerve damage and retinal
ganglion cells death
Intraocular pressure have a significant role

Trabecular route (90%)
› Trabeculum -> schlemm canal -> episcleral vein
Uveoscleral outflow (10%)
› Ciliary body -> supra choroidal space -> venous circulation in ciliary body, choroid and sclera

anterior chamber angle

Secondary – cause by other ocular disorder
› Angle Closure Glaucoma

Generally bilateral, but usually asymmetrical
Definition › Adult Onset
› IOP > 21 mmHg
› Open angle of normal appearance
› Glaucomatous optic nerve head damage
› Glaucomatous Visual field loss
There is a big group of patients with all the characteristics of POAG but IOP consistently less than 21 mm Hg ( Normal tension glaucoma)
Most people who have IOP > 21mm Hg do not have glaucoma ( Ocular hypertension)
![Page 11: The second most common causes of The commonest cause of](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013005/61cce417b56e9e7992437864/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The ischaemic theory
› Compromise of the microvasculature with
resultant ischaemia in the optic nerve head
is responsible
The direct mechanical theory
› Raised IOP directly damages the retinal
nerve fibers as they pass through the lamina cribrosa
![Page 12: The second most common causes of The commonest cause of](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013005/61cce417b56e9e7992437864/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Most patients have no symptoms until
late stage

Raised IOP › 2% > 40 years old have IOP > 24 mmHg
› 7% > 40 Years old have IOP > 21 mmHg
Diurnal fluctuations in IOP › Up to 5 mmHg in 30% of normal
› 90 % in POAG patients
Optic disc changes
Visual field changes
Gonioscopy show normal open angle

Cup – the middle space of the optic
nerve head where there is no nerve fiber
The bigger the ratio the more empty

less

Reality remains that
IOP is the only risk
factors currently
modifiable by
treatment
IOP can be lowered
by
› Medical treatment
› Laser
› surgery
![Page 32: The second most common causes of The commonest cause of](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013005/61cce417b56e9e7992437864/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
An upper limit of IOP at which it is likely to
retard further optic nerve damage
A largely individual and subjective
process
If glaucoma still occurs at the preset
target IOP then the target IOP should be
lowered further
An initial target IOP of at least 20% lower
than the pretreatment IOP is needed.

Topical antiglaucoma eye medication
› Effective in most patients
› Start with monotherapy then add additional
medication if needed
› Non compliance is an issue
› Wider IOP fluctuation when compare with
surgically treated patient: more visual function deterioration

Application of laser, in a repetitive fashion, to the trabecular meshwork.
Mechanism remain uncertain › Coagulation result in contracture and perhaps widening
of trabecular pores
› Induces cell division with subsequent renewal of cellularity › Generate the renewal of matrix metalloproteinases
› May stimulate macrophage like capacity of the trabecular lining cells
Release cytokines such as interleukin -1β and tumor necrosis factor-α: enhance aqueous outflow in perfused organ explant
Biochemical changes that affect outflow after trabeculoplasty take 4 to 6 weeks to occur
