糖皮质激素性青光眼

Glucocorticoid Induced Glaucoma

摘要: 激素性青光眼发病隐蔽，进展缓慢，对视功能损害较严重，类似开角型青光眼临床表现，同时常伴有近视，从而易被漏诊或误诊。由于目前激素药物在临床的广泛应用，使糖皮质激素性青光眼发生率有所上升。所以在用药过程应密切观察病人的眼压，一旦发现眼压升高，需立即停药，以防激素性青光眼发生及引起视功能损害。

Abstract: The onset of glucocorticoid induced glaucoma (GIG) is hidden, and the progress of this disease is slow, so it can lead to severe visual impairment, which is similar to clinical manifestations of open-angle glaucoma. At the same time, it is often accompanied by myopia, so missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis is common. Due to the widespread use of the hormone drugs in clinical practice, the incidence of corticosteroid glaucoma increases. So the patient’s intraocular pressure (IOP) should closely be observed in the process. Once patient’s IOP increases, the drug should be stopped immediately to prevent the occurrence of glucocorticoid-induced glaucoma and damages to the visual function.
