Hi.

We’re Ben Young and Andrew Pouw, ophthalmology residents who felt that reviewing for clinic, OKAPs, or boards is better when you don’t have to do it alone. Each week we’ll flesh out a new ophthalmology topic with the why and the how.

Episode 73: Acute Angle Closure Management

Glaucoma, Buddy Call

This week, we return to acute angle closure and discuss how to manage this challenging disease. All residents will eventually need to know how to tackle this in the ED!

 We reference this video during the episode, a demonstration of the Argon Laser Peripheral Iridoplasty technique, by Dr. Christopher Teng: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2NYixE_0xQ

 He also has videos demonstrating the traditional Laser Peripheral Iridotomy technique as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVicnPkZ6WA&pbjreload=102
