Back in 1990, an Israeli team found that breathing through the right nostril (the left was packed with cotton), for 20 minutes decreased IOP an average of 27% in the right eyes and 22.5% in the left in 46 patients with open and
closed angle glaucoma, bringing the pressure to normal range.
Prof Dr Yaseen Durrani, a senior ophthalmologist, told Dawn that there are two kinds of glaucoma: open angle and
closed angle. Most eye drops available in the market are for one of the two kinds of glaucoma, he said, but pilocarpine drops are effective for both.
Measurement of ACD is of particular value in categorization of glaucoma into open angle and
closed angle glaucoma.
For small hyperopic eyes this can lead to acute
closed angle glaucoma (CAG) attacks, but in fact 50% of patients have CAG present for years with limited symptoms such as brow pain at twilight.
Clinically, we observed that some patients who were diagnosed with typical PSS with a wide, open angle and suffered from recurrent attacks also had a narrow or
closed angle due to aging.
Regarding secondary causes for glaucoma such as uveitis, IOP raise usually complicates the clinical course of these inflammatory processes, creating good premises to compromise the trabecular drainage either with open or
closed angle.
Closed angle results through pupillary block (posterior synechiae) or forward rotation of the cilliary body without pupillary block [2].
key task events) yielded significant variability differences across the age groups in two variables: the maximum opened angle of the hip (P2H) and the maximum
closed angle of the shoulder during upswing (P3S) (Figure 3a, b).
Exclusion Criteria: Cases with a primary open or
closed angle glaucoma, secondary glaucoma due to traumatic cataract complicated cataract, Congenital cataract and secondary cataract were excluded.
AL can help in knowing various conditions of the eye like staphyloma, risk of retinal detachment, intraocular lens power calculation before cataract surgery and refractive surgery and risk of choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) and predisposition of
closed angle glaucoma.
* Grade 0 (0 degrees) is a
closed angle due to irido-corneal contact.
