  • Title: Perioperative considerations of glaucoma.
    Author: Goodlett A, West D.
    Journal: Semin Perioper Nurs; 1995 Oct; 4(4):220-6. PubMed ID: 7581347.
    Abstract:
    Perioperative nurses need to have a basic understanding of the anatomy of the globe and the physiological effects of the intraocular pressure from glaucoma. Surgical procedures are implemented initially for closed-angle (acute) and congenital glaucoma because of the emergent status of the diagnosis. The patient with open-angle (chronic) glaucoma may have a prolonged medical treatment before the need for surgical procedures.
