Research explores the efficacy of laser peripheral iridotomy for ACG in Caucasians
Because angle-closure glaucoma has been considered uncommon among non-Asian ethnic groups, ophthalmologists may underuse gonioscopy during routine eye exams for Caucasians. A new study screens 5,000 volunteer Caucasian hyperopes to determine ACG asymptomatic angle-closure prevalence. Novel rat model used to study the role of ICP modulation on optic neuropathies
In the rat intraventricular cannula model, intracranial pressure can be manually reduced or increased over an extended period of time to study the role of intracranial pressure in optic nerve pathology.
