1 Slide in 5 Minutes: Angle Recession Glaucoma (Malik Y. Kahook, MD)

Angle Recession (AR) of the anterior chamber angle occurs secondary to concussive ocular trauma. AR is associated with glaucoma in a minority of patients (only low single digit percent of patients with AR actually go on to develop glaucoma) and the development of glaucoma may occur shortly after the trauma or many decades later. Wolff and Zimmer first described (1962) the association of glaucoma with AR and our understanding of the progression from angle trauma to glaucoma in some patients but not others remains poorly understood.

Perfect as always. TM-based MIGS procedures such as GATT has been shown to be effective for AR glaucoma.
