?What is the difference between open-angle and closed-angle glaucoma

Open-angle glaucoma is a chronic condition where fluid drainage from the eye is gradually reduced, leading to increased intraocular pressure (IOP) over time. It progresses slowly and often goes unnoticed until significant vision loss occurs. Closed-angle glaucoma, on the other hand, is acute and results from a sudden blockage of fluid drainage, causing a rapid rise in IOP. It presents with severe eye pain, blurred vision, headache, and nausea, requiring immediate medical or surgical intervention to prevent vision loss.

?What are the common post-surgical complications following cataract surgery

While cataract surgery is generally safe, some potential complications include infection (endophthalmitis), swelling of the cornea or retina, increased intraocular pressure, and posterior capsule opacification (PCO). PCO, also known as secondary cataract, occurs when cells grow on the capsule that holds the lens implant, causing blurry vision. Treatment involves a quick laser procedure called YAG capsulotomy. Other rare complications include retinal detachment or improper healing of the incision site. Post-operative follow-ups are crucial for early detection and management of these issues.
