Great case! Unfortunately, cupping reversal is not typically seen in adults. If you have a family history of glaucoma or have ever been diagnosed as a glaucoma suspect, call our office for a consultation at 407-966-3770.

A 23-year-old man presented with vernal keratoconjunctivitis with steroid-induced glaucoma in both eyes. Intraocular pressure was right eye (OD) 40 mmHg, left eye (OS) 42 mmHg. Significant optic nerve head (ONH) cupping was noted in both eyes (A, OD; B, OS). Topical steroids were immediately stopped and the patient was started on maximum topical antiglaucoma medications with oral acetazolamide and syrup glycerol. Intraocular pressure was controlled on the fourth day of treatment (OD 16 mmHg, OS 18 mmHg) with drastic reversal of ONH cupping (C, OD; D, OS). Unlike children, reversal of ONH cupping is rare in adults due to the reduced pliability and elasticity of lamina cribrosa. These images highlight that although acute intraocular pressure rise can lead to mechanical compression of axons at lamina cribrosa, aggressive control of intraocular pressure and elimination of the primary cause can reverse ONH cupping even in young adults.
