Topography and fluorescein angiography of the optic nerve head in primary open-angle and chronic primary angle closure glaucoma.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to correlate optic nerve head topography with fluorescein angiography of the optic nerve head in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), chronic primary angle closure glaucoma (CPACG), and normal controls.

Methods: This was an institution-based, cross-sectional, case-control study of 30 consecutive patients each with POAG or CPACG, which were compared with 30 age- and sex-matched controls. The fluorescein angiograms undertaken in one eye of each of the 90 subjects were then analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Manual enucleation of both eyes during assault.

Manual enucleation of the eyeball from the orbit during physical assault is rare. Management includes removal of such sightless eyeballs when the optic nerve and extraocular muscles are avulsed. However, other authors recommend replacement of these eyeballs even though visual prognosis is nil and phthisis bulbi is expected.
