Glaucoma acute

Hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation where constriction is undesirable (eg, acute iritis, acute or anterior uveitis, some forms of secondary glaucoma, pupillary block glaucoma, acute inflammatory disease of the anterior chamber). 

Worsening of angle-closure glaucoma, acute eye pain, and hypotension occur rarely. 

These compounds have been used for many centuries and still find use today in their original forms or through synthetic analogs. Conditions which respond to muscarinic antagonists include irritable bowel syndrome, ulcers, diarrhea, glaucoma, acute rhinitis in addition to some CNS disorders. For example, Lomitil is a prescription treatment for diarrhea which is composed of atropine and diphenoxylate (an opiod with similar effects). 

Since its introduction into clinical practice in 1876, pilocarpine has remained the most usefiil miotic for management of primary open-angle glaucoma, acute angle-closure glaucoma, and many secondary glaucomas. Pilocarpine is commercially arailable as an ophthalmic solution in concentrations from 0.25% to 10% (see Table 10-7). Pilocarpine is also commercially available as a 4% ophthalmic gel that is supplied in 3 5-g tubes. 

Eighty-five percent of the 86 cases of mostly bilateral acute angle-closure glaucoma reported to the National Registry of Drug-Induced Ocular Side Effects by 2003 were noted to have occurred within the first 2 weeks of treatment initiation. Topiramate is considered to have certain OADRs in the form of abnormal vision, acute secondary angle-closure glaucoma, acute myopia, and suprachoroidal effusions.

Aceta2olamide, the best example of this class of diuretics (69,70), is rarely used as a diuretic since the introduction of the thia2ides. Its main use is for the treatment of glaucoma and some minor uses, eg, for the a1ka1ini2ation of the urine to accelerate the renal excretion of some weak acidic dmgs, and for the prevention of acute high altitude mountain sickness. 

These drugp are contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to die drugs, asthma, peptic ulcer disease, coronary artery disease, and hyperthyroidism. Bethanecol is contraindicated in those with mechanical obstruction of die gastrointestinal or genitourinary tracts. Fhtients with secondary glaucoma, iritis, corneal abrasion, or any acute inflammatory disease of the eye should not use die ophtiialmic cholinergic preparations. 

The antianxiety drug s are contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity, psychoses, acute narrow-angle glaucoma, and shock. These drugp are also contraindicated in patients in a coma or with acute alcoholic intoxication with depression of vital signs.

Mannitol (Osmitrol) is used for the promotion of diuresis in the prevention and treatment of the oliguric phase of acute renal failure as well as for the reduction of IOP and the treatment of cerebral edema Urea (Ureaphil) is useful in reducing cerebral edema and in die reduction of IOE Glycerin (Osmoglyn) and isosorbide (Ismotic) are used in the treatment of acute glaucoma and to reduce IOP before and after eye surgery. 

The nurse notifies the primary health care provider immediately if eye pain increases or if it has not begun to decrease 3 to 4 hours after the first dose. If the patient has acute closed-angle glaucoma, the nurse checks the pupil of the affected eye every 2 hours for dilation and response to light.

During the ongoing assessment the nurse observes for a therapeutic drug effect and reports any increase in symptoms and the presence of any redness, irritation, or pain in the eye. Patients admitted for treatment of acute glaucoma should be assessed every 2 hours for relief of pain. Pain in the eye may indicate increased IOP... 

Identify risk factors for the development of chronic open-angle glaucoma and acute angle-closure glaucoma. 

Acute primary angle-closure glaucoma is a medical emergency and requires laser or surgical intervention. 

Patients with ocular hypertension or primary open-angle glaucoma typically have a slow, insidious loss of vision. This is contrasted by the course of acute primary angle-closure glaucoma which can lead to rapid vision loss that develops over hours to days.
