lifestyle
2

Regular Ophthalmologic Surveillance

Comprehensive eye examinations at regular intervals to monitor disease progression, assess intraocular pressure, and evaluate corneal and iris abnormalities. Early detection of complications allows for timely intervention.

monitoring
3

Glaucoma Management

Topical glaucoma medications to control intraocular pressure when associated glaucoma is present. Multiple drug classes may be utilized sequentially or in combination based on response.

Additional treatment options

Corneal Transplantation

Penetrating or lamellar keratoplasty to restore corneal clarity when corneal edema or scarring significantly impairs vision. Success depends on associated ocular abnormalities.

surgical

Goniosynechialysis

Surgical procedure to break peripheral anterior synechiae and restore aqueous humor outflow pathways in cases of angle-closure glaucoma secondary to dysgenesis.

procedure

Glaucoma Drainage Device Implantation

Implantation of aqueous shunts such as Ahmed or Baerveldt devices for refractory glaucoma unresponsive to conventional surgical or medical management.
