This is a much better placed hole, it looks like a slit above the mole on the right. The lid was lifted to demonstrate a well placed hole. In the next picture, see what the same eye looks like normally.

When the angle completely closes, a laser must be used to create a new exit. See the hole in the Iris? That was created by the laser and it feels very similar to the air puff machine. Unfortunately for this patient, the hole was placed a little too low. See the next picture of a properly placed hole (Laser Peripheral Iridotomy - LPI)

If you look straight ahead, you can see they eye. The angle is right at the limbus, the circle where the Iris (colored part of the eye) and the Sclera (white part) meet. If the angle shuts, it will lead to a form of glaucoma called ANGLE CLOSURE GLAUCOMA. Now look to the left side in the mirror, you can see parts of them are beginning to stick together This is called synechia. As long as not all of that area is shut, the patient will be ok. No treatment is needed, but it is a good idea to monitor the situation regularly. Go see a doctor if you begin to see or feel some of these signs and simptoms: Eye pressure and pain, headaches on the same side, blood shot red eye, seeing shimmerying halos rainbows, and or nausea.

Irido-Corneal Endothelial "ICE" Syndrome
Problems with 2 anatomical parts, the Iris and the corneal endothelium that lead to secondary angle closure glaucoma.

It is thought that Herpes Simplex Virus is the cause of the anatomical problems that lead to glaucoma. As such, Aqueous suppressants are the primary treatment of choice followed by surgical "Trabeculectamy" to save the nerve. Afterwards, a Corneal Transplant is needed to help the patients potential to see clearly.

This is a special photo of END STAGE Glaucoma. These 2 pictures are of the same nerve from slightly different angles. When you superimpose the pictures, you can see it in 3-D. You can see that the cup is almost the same size as the disc. Notice how pale the nerve is and that the blood vessels coming out of the nerve bend right at the edge of the disc, some supporting bits of evidence that suggests end stage.

Now this similarly is a nerve with a large cup and a cup to disc ratio of about 6:10, but this one is concerning. If you...

Now this similarly is a nerve with a large cup and a cup to disc ratio of about 6:10, but this one is concerning. If you look at the top, there is a subtle NOTCH, a divot that makes the cup (hole) not congruous with the disc (Outside circumference). This nerve is very looks very suspicious of glaucoma.

This is also a very healthy looking nerve, even though the cup is much larger than the cup of the previous picture. Here...

This is also a very healthy looking nerve, even though the cup is much larger than the cup of the previous picture. Here the cup to disc ratio is about 6:10. Because the cup and disc are congruent and the ISNT rule is obeyed, the appearance of this nerve is not very concerning.

Here is a Optic Nerve with a very small cup (hole). Instead of the typical 1:3, the Cup to Disc Ratio is about 1:10. Thi...

Here is a Optic Nerve with a very small cup (hole). Instead of the typical 1:3, the Cup to Disc Ratio is about 1:10. This is still a very healthy looking nerve because the cup and disc are pretty much congruent. It's hard to tell here but optimally you would hope the thickness of the 4 "sides" obeys the ISNT rule, meaning the thickest to thinnest sides should be bottom, top, side facing the nose, and side facing the ear.

This is a traumatic cataract. Notice the pupil is super large and oddly shaped. When she got into a car accident, the impact not only caused a cataract, it also damaged her iris.

Sometimes your lens can fall out of place. This is called a subluxation. The position it falls can tell us about what may have caused it. Getting hit, having certain diseases, or in this case - a poorly done cataract surgery
