ANGLE CLOSURE GLAUCOMA

From AZOA conference. Things I didn't know about angle closure glaucoma:

- Topamax, a medication used for epilepsy, migraine, and weight loss can induce bilateral angle closure glaucoma.

- Don't forget glaucomacyclitic crisis (check for cells).

- Consider gonio in fellow eye if it's contraindicated in involved eye.

- Don't forget pilo 2% if IOP is < 40mmHg

.

- Don't allow patient to leave office if IOP is more than 30mmHg.
