Quick Summary:

• Aqueous Misdirection (AM) is a complication that occurs following surgery for acute closed angle glaucoma. The condition can occur as a complication of other intraocular surgeries too, such as cataract surgery, surgical iridotomy, and laser iridotomy
• Glaucoma is a group of eye disorders in which the optic nerves connecting the eyes and brain are progressively damaged, leading to reduced peripheral vision and potential blindness. This condition is usually caused by increased pressure within the eyes, known as intraocular pressure (IOP)
• Aqueous Misdirection usually involves the eye that has undergone the surgical procedure. It is described as a form of secondary angle closure glaucoma. The development of AM post-operatively in one eye indicates an increased risk that it could occur in the other eye following a similar surgery
• The occurrence of the condition is noted with higher incidence in individuals who have hyperopic eyes (longsightedness) and a history of primary closed angle glaucoma. Aqueous Misdirection classically occurs during the early post-operative period after incisional eye surgery; however, in some cases it may occur after a long period too (after many months and years)
