A group of eye disorders, glaucoma is characterized by high intraocular pressure (IOP) that damages the optic nerve.
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness in the world and is the leading cause of blindness among adults in the United States.
Glaucoma may occur as primary or congenital disease or secondary to other causes, such as injury, infection, surgery, or prolonged use of topical corticosteroids.
Primary glaucoma has mainly two forms :
1. Open angle glaucoma ( chronic, simple, or wide angle glaucoma)
2. Angle –closure glaucoma( Acute or narrow angle glaucoma)
Angle –closure glaucoma occurs suddenly and may cause permanent or irreversible vision loss in 48 to 72 hours.
A cataract is a clouding or opacity that
develops in the crystalline lens of the eye or in its envelope, varying in degree from slight opacity to obstructing the passage of light.
Progressive, painless clouding of the natural, internal lens of the eye.

MYOPIA , basics , causes , types and treatmentssuserde6356
Myopia, also known as near-sightedness and short-sightedness, is an eye disease[5][6][7] where light from distant objects focuses in front of, instead of on, the retina.[1][2][6] As a result, distant objects appear blurry while close objects appear normal.[1] Other symptoms may include headaches and eye strain.[1][8] Severe myopia is associated with an increased risk of macular degeneration, retinal detachment, cataracts, and glaucoma.[2][9]
Myopia results from the length of the eyeball growing too long or less commonly the lens being too strong.[1][10] It is a type of refractive error.[1] Diagnosis is by the use of cycloplegics during eye examination.[11]
Tentative evidence indicates that the risk of myopia can be decreased by having young children spend more time outside.[12][13] This decrease in risk may be related to natural light exposure.[14] Myopia can be corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or by refractive surgery.[1][15] Eyeglasses are the simplest and safest method of correction.[1] Contact lenses can provide a relatively wider corrected field of vision, but are associated with an increased risk of infection.[1][16] Refractive surgeries like LASIK and PRK permanently change the shape of the cornea. Surgeries like Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) implant a lens inside the anterior chamber in front of the natural eye lens. ICL doesn't affect the cornea.[

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
2. A cataract is a cloudy
or opaque area in the
normally clear lens of
the eye. Depending
upon its size and
location, it can interfere
with normal vision.
3.
4. EPIDEMOLOGY
1. Cataracts remain the
leading cause of blindness.
2. Age-related cataract is
responsible for 48% of
world blindness, which
represents about 18
million people.
3. Cataracts are also an
important cause of low
vision in both developed
and developing countries.
6. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Any physical or chemical cause
↓
Disturbs the intracellular and extracellular equilbrium
of water and electrolytes
↓
Deranges the colloid system in lens fibres
↓
Aberrant fibres are formed from germinal
epithelium of lens
↓
Epithelial cell necrosis
↓
Focal opacification of lens epithelium
(glaucomflecken)
↓
Opacification of lens
7. Opacification of lens takeplace by 3
biochemical changes
1. Hydration
2. Denaturation of lens protein
3. Slowsclerosis
These leads to
Abnormalities of lens proteins &
Disorganisation of lens fibres
Loss of transparency of lens
Cataract
8. TYPES
Nuclear Cataract
located in the center of the lens. The nucleus tends to darken,
changing from clear to yellow and sometimes brown.
2.Cortical Cataract
Affects the layer of the lens surrounding the nucleus. The
cataract looks like a wedge or a spoke.
3. Subcapsular cataract
It involves superficial part of the cortex(just below the
capsule) and includes anterior sub capsule or posterior sub
capsule.
10. 4.Anterior Subcapsular Cataracts
This type forms just inside the front of lens capsule. An
injury or swelling in eye can lead to one.
5.Congenital Cataracts
These are cataracts at the time of born or in childhood.
Some are linked to genes, and others are due to an
illness, like rubella, that mother had during pregnancy.
6.Secondary Cataracts
When another condition or a medical treatment leads to a
cataract, it called as a secondary cataract.
11. Based on maturity:-
1.Immature Catarct
2.Mature Cataract
3.Hypermature Cataract
12. Mature Cataract
Lens is completely opaque.
Vision reduced to just perception of light
Iris shadow is not seen
Lens appears pearly white
14. Hypermature
Shrunken and wrinkled anterior capsule due to
leakage of water
out of the lense.
• This may take any of two forms:
1.Liquefactive/Morgagnian Type
2.Sclerotic Cataract
15. Liquefactive/Morgagnian Type
Cortex undergoes auto-lytic liquefaction and turns
uniformly
milky white.
• The nucleus loses support and settles to the
bottom.
16. Sclerotic Cataract
•The fluid from the cortex gets absorbed and the lens
becomes shrunken.
There may be deposition of calcific material on the
lens capsule.
Iridodonesis: Anterior chamber deepens and iris
becomes tremulous.
The zonules become weak, increasing the risk of
subluxation / dislocation of lens.
22. TREATMENT
• Glasses: Cataract alters the refractive power of the
natural lens so glasses may allow good vision to be
maintained.
Surgical removal: when visual acuity can't be
improved with glasses.
• Surgical techniques
–Phacoemulsification method.
–Extracapsular cataract extraction.
–Intra capsular cataract extraction.
–Intraocular lens implantation
–cryosurgery
24. SURGICAL MANAGEMENT
Phacoemulsification in cataract surgery involves
insertion of a tiny, hollowed tip that uses high
frequency (ultrasonic) vibrations to "break up" the
eye's cloudy lens (cataract). The same tip is used to
suction out the lens
25.
26. INTRA-CAPSULAR CATARACT
EXTRACTION
Intracapsular Cataract Extraction. From the
late 1800s until the 1970s, the technique of
choice for cataract extraction was intracapsular
cataract extraction (ICCE). The entire lens (ie,
nucleus, cortex, and capsule) is removed, and fine
sutures close the incision. ICCE is infrequently
performed today; however, it is indicated when there
is a need to remove the entire lens, such as with a
subluxated cataract (ie, partially or completely
dislocated lens).
28. Postoperative care after cataract
surgery
Steroid drops (inflammation)
Antibiotic drops (infection)
Avoid Very strenuous exertion (rise the pressure in
the eyeball)
Ocular trauma.
30. NURSING MANAGEMENT
Assess visual acuity
Give accurate information
Administer eye medications
Elevate the head of the bed 30 to 45 degrees.
Notify the surgeon
32. Infective endophthalmitis
– Rare but can cause permanent severe reduction of vision.
– Most cases within two weeks of surgery.
– Typically patients present with a short history of a
reduction in their vision and a red painful eye.
– This is an ophthalmic emergency.
– Low grade infection with pathogen such as
Propionibacterium species can lead patients to present
several weeks after initial surgery with a refractory uveitis
34. NURSING DIAGNOSIS
1. Acute pain related to trauma to the incision and increased
IOP as evidence by patient verbalization.
2. Anxiety related to lack of knowledge as evidenced by
verbalization of anxious questions.
3. Self –care deficits related to visual deficit as evidence by
decreased vision acuity
4. Risk for infection related to surgical incision and
self care after surgery.
5. Risk for injury related to sensory deficit while
6. operated eye is patched.
35. HEALTH EDUCATION
Avoid Eye Straining.
Avoid Rubbing
Avoid Rapid Movement
Proper Hygiene And Eye CarTechniques
Use Eye Shield At Bedtime.
Follow-up As Recommended
36. Cataract surgery is the principal refractive
surgical procedure performed in older
adults. Technological advances have allowed
for improved surgery through smaller
incisions, resulting in better outcomes.
