Acute Closed-angle Glaucoma
|
|
|
features
|
Acute – emergency
|
|
S/S
|
· Hx: halos around light, pain, red eye
· On physical exam
· the pupil is mid-dilated and does not react to light,
· the cornea is cloudy with a greenish hue,
· and the eye feels “hard as a rock.”

|
Dx
|
Clx – EMERGENCY
|
|
Tx
|
There are 2 issues:
1. Pressure: we need to lower it down (open a hole in the eye)
2. Dilation: we need to reverse that by ACTIVATING ALPHA & BLOCKING BETA
a. A-agonist
b. B-Blocker

|
|
|
features
|
· Path: Cortical blindness –> lack of visual stimulation causes the brain to just shut off the cortical input –> blindness
