It is estimated that as many as 3.2 million people worldwide experience blindness due to glaucoma, including open-angle glaucoma (OAG). Until now, there is no definite mechanism related to the incidence of OAG. However, increased intraocular pressure (IOP) is considered to be the most important risk factor. Several current studies show that there is a significant relationship between hypertension (HTN) and IOP. In particular, several epidemiological studies have shown that an increase in systemic blood pressure (BP) is associated with an increase in IOP. However, several studies report that high BP provides a protective effect at a young age against the incidence of OAG. Therefore, this literature aims to explore the effect of HTN on the incidence of OAG. In this review, search for the literature using keywords that match the topic, then a gradual screening was carried out with the predetermined eligibility criteria. From 3711...

A 67-year-old man presented to the outpatient department with headache and decreased vision in his left eye for the past 3 days. Visual acuity 2/60, intraocular pressure (IOP) >60 mm Hg, and the anterior chamber (AC) depth Van Herick grade 1. A complete ophthalmologic examination revealed a phacomorphic angle closure. Serial management was performed consisting of mannitol 20% intravenously, laser peripheral iridotomy, and trabeculectomy. However, the depth of the AC became more shallow, and the IOP remained high. Lens extraction as definitive therapy could not be performed because of the adhesion of the iris and anterior lens capsule to the corneal endothelium; thus, posterior lensectomy using 3-port pars plana vitrectomy, and phacofragmatome was performed. Once the corneal thickness was returned to normal, and the AC depth was sufficient, th...
