Purpose: to show how we diagnosed and treated a rarer form of angle-closure glaucoma; the pathogenic mechanism was angle crowding through thick peripheral iris roll.
Methods: we show the investigations: biomicroscopy of the fundus, tonometry, pachymetry, gonioscopy, perimetry, ultrasound biomicroscopy, optical coherence tomography of the anterior segment--that helped us to diagnose the angle-closure glaucoma and its pathogenic mechanism; we also show our choice for surgery--lens extraction--and our arguments for this choice.
Results: first postoperative day--intraocular pressure was 14 mmHg; a week postoperatively--intraocular pressure was 13 mmHg; three months postoperatively--intraocular pressure was 13 mmHg.
Conclusions: lens extraction may be a very good choice in several forms of angle-closure glaucoma.

Polydipsia Induced Acute Angle-Closure Crisis.
J Glaucoma
January 2025
Blanton Eye Institute, Houston Methodist Hospital, Houston, TX, USA.
We present a case of Acute Angle-Closure Crisis (AACC) precipitated by primary transient psychogenic polydipsia; we believe that our case is the first of its kind to be reported. A 74-year-old male presented to the emergency department with altered mental status due to acute-onset hyponatremia. Six days after admission, the patient noticed painful loss of vision in his right eye and an ipsilateral headache lasting 10-15 minutes.

Here, we describe a rare case of drug-induced unilateral ciliary body effusion precipitated by topical brinzolamide, presenting acutely with pain, angle closure and myopic shift.Ciliary body effusion was suspected clinically and confirmed by ultrasound biomicroscopy. Brinzolamide was ceased, atropine instilled and the ciliary body effusion promptly resolved without need for further treatment.

Differences in Ocular Biometry Between Short-Axial and Normal-Axial Eyes in the Elderly Japanese.

Department of Ophthalmology, Saitama Medical Center, Saitama Medical University, Kawagoe-shi, Saitama, Japan.
Purpose: Among patients with angle-closure glaucoma, it is common to have a short-axial eye, which also makes it difficult to select an appropriate intraocular lens. Previous studies have focused on the ocular biometry of the long-axial eye, whereas only a few reports have focused on the short-axial eye. This study aimed to clarify the characteristics of the short-axial eye on ocular biometry among the elderly Japanese.

Background: To assess associations between mortality and major ocular parameters and diseases.
Methods: The population-based Ural Eye and Medical Study (UEMS) and Ural Very Old Study (UVOS) included 5899 individuals (age: 40+ years) and 1526 individuals (age: 85+ years), respectively. Cause-specific mortality was determined using the government regional information and analytical system.
