Early significant changes of visual field in Glaucoma include: Peripheral nasal step, _____ scotoma or Siedel's scotoma

Glaucomatocyclitic crisis presents with _____ without posterior synechiae formation, and raised IOP

Hint: miosis/mydriasis

Posner Schlossman syndrome (Glaucomatocyclitic iridocyclitis) is also associated with fine white central _____ and mydriasis, along with recurrent unilateral attacks of an acute rise of IOP

Glaucomatocyclitic crisis is speculated to be due to acute trabeculitis, associated with _____ or H.pylori infection

Secondary _____-angle glaucoma is due to obstruction of the trabecular meshwork (e.g. by WBCs, RBCs, retinal elements)

In acute congestive glaucoma, the pupil is _____ and vertically oval.

Hint: constricted/dialated

_____ is characterized by optic disc atrophy with characteristic cupping

_____ implant is a silicon based, glaucoma drainage device (GDD)/seton/aqueous shunt, and carries the risk of postoperative hypotony due to excessive aqueous drainage (since it is valveless)

_____ and equatorial staphylomas are most commonly associated with glaucoma

_____ vision is seen in later stages of retinitis pigmentosa and in glaucoma
