Aqueous humor secretion
• 80% is secreted by non pigmented ciliary
epithelium via active metabolic process that
depends on a number of enzymatic systems
(carbonic anhydrase enzyme),

Intra Ocular Pressure (IOP)
• Normal IOP < 21 mm Hg,
• IOP > 21 mm Hg glaucoma suspect,
• Diurnal fluctuation of IOP in 24 hours:
– IOP higher in the morning
– IOP lower in the afternoon and evening
• Ocular hypertension: IOP > 21 mmHg without any
nerve fiber damage,
• Normal tension glaucoma: normal IOP, but
presenting glaucomatous signs.
12/19/2017 9
Pathogenesis of
Glaucomatous Damage
• There are two current theories:
– The indirect ischaemic theory: IOP » -- nerve
fiber death + interfering micro circulation of
the optic disc,
– Direct mechanical theory: IOP » -- damage on
retinal nerve fiber at the optic disc.

Classification of the glaucomas
• According to:
– Outflow impairment: open angle and angle
closure glaucoma,
– contributing factors to IOP : primary and
secondary glaucoma,
– Age: congenital, infantile, juvenile, adult.

junction, abscent of angle recess, trabeculodysgenesis,
• The iris insertion can be flat or concave,
• Poor prognosis.

Primary Congenital Glaucoma
• Clinical signs:
– Depends on the age of the onset and the level of
IOP,
– According to the age of the onset there are 3
types:
• True congenital glaucoma (40%). IOP elevated
since in the intrauterine buphthalmos,
• Infantile glaucoma (55%) manifesting after birth,
• Juvenile glaucoma: IOP » at 10-35 years of age,
with clinical manifestation same as POAG.
12/19/2017 31
Primary Congenital
Glaucoma
• Examinations:
– Corneal haze, lacrimation, photophobia and
blepharospasm,
– Buphthalmos if IOP » before the age of 3 usually
associated with axial myop, subluxated lens,
– Break of Descemet membrane, endothelial
decompensation permanent stromal edema,
– Reversible glaucomatous cupping.

Primary Congenital Glaucoma
• Treatments:
– Initial drug treatment,
– Goniotomy if cornea is still clear,
– Trabeculotomy at corneal clouding,
– Trabeculectomy and trabeculotomy,
– Trabeculectomy with antimetabolic agent,
--Outcome of the operation is poor.

the uveal tissue: iridocyclitis, posterior
synechia,

3.06 mm in diameter, applanation, more accurate,

– The air puff tonometer, non contact, applanation, jet of
air to flatten the cornea.

Angle classification by Shaffer
• Grade IV : 45 degrees angle
III : 20 - 25 degrees angle
II : 20 degrees angle closed
I : 10 degrees angle closed
• Grade 0 : closed angle, iridocorneal contact.

Ophthalmoscopy of the optic disc
• 1.2 million axons passes across the retina and enter the
optic disc,
• Fibers from the macula papillomacular bundle, straight
to the optic disc, most resistant,
• Fibers from temporal of macula an arcuate path around
the papillomacular bundle supero and inferotemporal of
the optic disc, vulnerable to glaucomatous damage.

Normal Visual Field Examination
• Nasally : 60 degrees
• Temporally : 95 degrees
• Superiorly : 50 degrees
• Inferiorly : 70 degrees
• The blind spot is located temporally 10-20 degrees
• Visual field is an island of vision surrounded by the sea of
darkness, the sharpest is at the top of the island.

Therapy
• Nerve fiber damage caused by glaucoma is
irreversible,
• Principle of the therapy is to decrease IOP
medically or surgically to maintain the current
condition,
• The purpose of decreasing the IOP is to reduce
progressivity of the nerve fiber damage and visual
field defect,
• Early findings.

Indications of Medical Treatment
• Simple glaucoma
• Acute / chronic closed angle glaucoma
Maintain the diurnal IOP

Surgical treatment
• Peripheral iridectomy:

meshwork,
– Preventive treatment from acute attack for the fellow
eye.
• Trabeculectomy for all types of glaucoma,
• Goniotomy for congenital glaucoma if the cornea
is still clear,
• Trabeculotomy for congenital glaucoma if the
cornea is edema.

Surgical treatment
• Treatment for absolute glaucoma:
