closed angle glaucoma

A trepanotrabeculectomy is used in the treatment of chronic open and chronic closed angle glaucoma.

However, minor issues affecting the breed can include hypothyroidism, primary closed angle glaucoma and Cushing's syndrome.

In dogs, most forms of primary glaucoma are the result of a collapsed filtration angle, or closed angle glaucoma.

Anterior synechia causes closed angle glaucoma, which means that the iris closes the drainage way of aqueous humour which in turn raises the intraocular pressure.

It is recommended that pseudoephedrine not be used in patients with: diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, severe or uncontrolled hypertension, severe coronary artery disease, prostatic hypertrophy, hyperthyroidism, closed angle glaucoma, or by pregnant women.
