Medical Therapy for Glaucoma Case 2 Presentation
Purpose: To report a case of bilateral secondary angle closure glaucoma induced by oral acetazolamide.
Case Illustration: A 36-years-old female came to Glaucoma Unit at Cicendo National Eye Hospital with
intermittent blurred vision and pain of the left eye in the last 1 year, worsening in the past six months. The
complaint was accompanied by headache, halo, and conjunctival hyperemia. The visual acuity was 20/20
RE 20/25 LE. and the IOP was normal on the right eye and 3...Purpose: To report a case of bilateral secondary angle closure glaucoma induced by oral acetazolamide.view more
Case Illustration: A 36-years-old female came to Glaucoma Unit at Cicendo National Eye Hospital with
intermittent blurred vision and pain of the left eye in the last 1 year, worsening in the past six months. The
complaint was accompanied by headache, halo, and conjunctival hyperemia. The visual acuity was 20/20
RE 20/25 LE. and the IOP was normal on the right eye and 30mmHg LE. She had been diagnosed with
suspected pigmentary glaucoma LE and received timolol maleate 0.5% b.i.d and oral acetazolamide 250
mg t.i.d. Seven days later, her visual acuity worsened to 3/60 RE and 2/60 LE, with the IOP 46 mmHg RE
and 48 mmHg LE. The anterior segment of both eyes showed conjunctival injection, corneal edema,
shallow anterior chamber, and mid-dilated pupil. The cup-to-disc ratio was 0.3 RE and 0,8 LE. Gonioscopy
examination showed Schwalbe line of both eyes. Acetazolamide was substituted with topical brinzolamide
t.i.d, and one week later the condition resolved.
Conclusion: Some antiglaucoma medication such as oral acetazolamide can induce angle closure
glaucoma. Treatment of angle closure glaucoma involves stopping acetazolamide18:25 - 18:35

Case Illustration:
A 63-year-old woman was consulted to the glaucoma division due to high intraocular pressure (IOP) in the right eye. Previously, she had a lens extraction on her left eye. She then underwent lens extraction on the right eye. Afterward, the patient was still in need of glaucoma medication on her both eyes for years. Her IOP ranged from 14 to 20 mmHg with the use of Latanoprost and Brinzolamid, for about 6 years. However, the IOP was then raised and the Brinzolamid-Brimonidine fixed-combination was used to replace the Brinzolamide drops. The IOP was still uncontrolled and Tafluprost-Timolol fixed-combination as well as Brinzolamide were then administered. The IOP control thereafter was satisfactory.18:40 - 18:50
