Successful goniosynechialysis for secondary angle-closure glaucoma after ocular jellyfish sting

This case highlights important ocular findings - acute iris stromal atrophy, extensive PAS and severe ocular hypertension - secondary to jellyfish toxins, raising awareness to the rare entity of jellyfish stings. Early recognition and prompt surgical intervention may be sight-saving, in cases of ocular jellyfish stings, preventing the development of secondary chronic angle-closure glaucoma.

Abstract

This case highlights important ocular findings - acute iris stromal atrophy, extensive PAS and severe ocular hypertension - secondary to jellyfish toxins, raising awareness to the rare entity of jellyfish stings. Early recognition and prompt surgical intervention may be sight-saving, in cases of ocular jellyfish stings, preventing the development of secondary chronic angle-closure glaucoma.
