Lincoff Rule!

Ologen Implant!

-Collagen implants can increase the efficacy of trabeculectomy without the need for antifibrotic agents like mitomycin C. MOA: -Ologen is composed of 3-D collagen–glycosaminoglycan copolymers, which form a porous structure. - Instead of using antifibrotic agents, the porous structure provides a scaffold for fibroblasts to grow randomly, which could reduce scar formation effectively. - The collagen matrix itself can function like a reservoir to absorb the aqueous humor. - Prov

Morning Glory Anomaly!

-It is a congenital, funnel shaped excavation of the posterior fundus that incorporates the optic disk. •Unilateral condition. •Visual acuity 6/60 to finger counting. •Females > males •The disk is markedly enlarged, orange or pink in color, and it may appear to be recessed or elevated centrally within the confines of a funnel shaped peripapillary excavation. •A wide annulus of chorioretinal pigmentary disturbance surrounds the disk within the excavation. •A white tuft of glia

Serous Pigment Epithelial Detachment.

-Retinal pigment epithelial detachments (PEDs) are characterized by separation between the RPE and the inner most aspect of Bruch's membrane. PATHOGENESIS: - PED from the inner collagenous layer of Bruch's membrane is caused by disruption of the physiological forces maintaining adhesion. - MOA: Reduction of hydraulic conductivity of a thickened and dysfunctional Bruch's membrane, impending movement of fluid from RPE to the choroid. TYPES: -Serous. -Fibrovascular. -Drusenoid.

Myelinated Nerve Fibre!

-Myelination of the optic nerve fibers normally begins at the lateral geniculate body and ceases at the lamina cribrosa. -An abnormal intraocular myelination of the peripapillary nerve fibre layer anterior to the lamina cribrosa is called myelinated nerve fibre layer (MNFL) -Usually unilateral - can be sporadic/ familial/ acquired CAUSE: -Oligodendrocytes are involved- a structural or biochemical defect allows oligodendrocytes to migrate intraocularly and continue myelination
