Glaucoma

Neovascular Glaucoma SYMPTOMS Typically vision will be decreased as neovascular glaucoma is associated with retinal ischemia, maculopathy, and severe retinopathy In the later or more advanced stages of neovascular glaucoma, patients may report visual field loss such as scotomas or tunnel vision. If left untreated, complete blindness can occur If IOP is too high (considered…

Steroid Induced Glaucoma SYMPTOMS Typically asymptomatic In the later or more advanced stages, patients may report visual field loss such as scotomas or tunnel vision. If left untreated, complete blindness can occur If IOP is too high (considered > 40mmHg), patient may experience Ocular pain, Pressure around the eye, Cloudy vision, Nausea, Vomiting, Headache, and…

Pseudoexfoliative Glaucoma SYMPTOMS Typically asymptomatic In the later or more advanced stages, patients may report visual field loss such as scotomas or tunnel vision. If left untreated, complete blindness can occur If IOP is too high (considered > 40mmHg), patient may experience Ocular pain, Pressure around the eye, Cloudy vision, Nausea, Vomiting, Headache, and Browache…

Pigment Dispersion Glaucoma SYMPTOMS Typically asymptomatic In the later or more advanced stages, patients may report visual field loss such as scotomas or tunnel vision. If left untreated, complete blindness can occur If IOP is too high (considered > 40mmHg), patient may experience Ocular pain, Pressure around the eye, Cloudy vision, Nausea, Vomiting, Headache, and…

Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma (PACG) SYMPTOMS May be asymptomatic, especially in cases of primary angle closure suspects In the later or more advanced stages of primary angle closure glaucoma, patients may report visual field loss such as scotomas or tunnel vision. If left untreated, complete blindness can occur If IOP is too high (considered >…

Ocular Hypertension SYMPTOMS Typically asymptomatic If IOP is too high (considered > 40mmHg), patient may experience Ocular pain, Pressure around the eye, Cloudy vision, Nausea, Vomiting, Headache, and Browache SIGNS Typically bilateral Open angles on Van Herick with no signs of secondary glaucomas Healthy optic nerves with no evidence of glaucomatous damage WORK-UP Pupils (normal),…

Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) SYMPTOMS Typically asymptomatic In the later or more advanced stages, patients may report visual field loss such as scotomas or tunnel vision. If left untreated, complete blindness can occur If IOP is too high (considered > 40mmHg), patient may experience Ocular pain, Pressure around the eye, Cloudy vision, Nausea, Vomiting,…
