Ítem Acceso Abierto Beneficios del abordaje clínico temprano en pacientes con glaucoma de ángulo abierto(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Reynel Rios, Everth Adrian; Cervantes Anaya, Luis Alberto; 1104127624Open-angle glaucoma is the most common and prevalent ocular affectation in the world, this disease generally affects people over 40 years of age in 90% of the population. Glaucoma occurs when intraocular pressure is elevated because the duct becomes blocked and fluid cannot drain normally. This type of glaucomatous optic neuropathy is very silent and often does not present any sign or symptom that alerts patients, which is why it is extremely important to recognize this ocular pathology in its early stages, through a good diagnosis accompanied by a good ocular examination, in order to avoid complications, such as the gradual loss of sight on the side that is affected, since it is one of the main complications of this type of glaucoma. For this we are going to explain the importance of the benefit of early clinical management of open-angle glaucoma. For this, a non- experimental study will be carried out, of a narrative type of bibliographic review. The correct clinical management of patients suffering from this ophthalmopathy is important, since in this way it will be less complicated to treat it early, without it evolving and can generate or bring with it multiple affectations, which in the end will end up deteriorating the view of the patient and lifestyle as such. This is why it is of great importance to be able to diagnose this type of ocular involvement in a timely and early manner.
