7. Investigation
• Corneal scraping
• May not be required for a small infiltrate,particularly without an
epithelial defect and away from the visual axis.
• Conjunctival swabs
• Particularly in severe case, may be culture when corneal
scape is negative
• Contact lens cases
• Bottles of solution and lens for culture
• Gram strain,Giemsa stain ,KOH ,Culture
• Sensitivity reports
REFERENCE:
8. Treatment
• Fortify broad spectrum
antibiotic
• Antifungus : Amphotericin
B eye drop,Natamycin
eye drop
• Acyclovir eye ointment
• Cycloplegic drug ( 1%
Atropine eye drop)
10. Anatomical Classification
• Uveitis : an inflammation of uveal tract
• Anterior uveitis
• Iritis : inflammation primarily involves the iris
• Iridocyclitis : in which both iris and pars plicata of the ciliary body
• Intermediate : Inflammation predominantly involving the pars
plana,the peripheral retina and the vitreous
• Posterior uveitis : involves the fundus posterior to the vitreous base
• Retinitis : Primary focus in the retina
• Choroiditis : Primary focus in the choroid
• Vasculitis : which may involve veins, arteries or both
• Panuveitis
• Endophthalmitis : implies inflammation, often pururent, involving all
intraocular tissue except the sclera
• Pandophthalmitis : involves the entire globe,often orbital extension
11. Definition :
Acute : Sudden onset and limited duration
Chronic : Persistent inflammation,Prompt relapse
(in less than 3 months)
Recurrent : repeat episodes separated by period of
inactive without treatment lasting at least
3 months
12. Anterior uveitis
• Most common form of uveitis (75%)
• Acute anterior uveitis is the most common
form of anterior uveitis ,accounting for
three-quarters of cases
13. Main symptoms
• Sudden onset of unilateral pain
• Photophobia
• Redness
• Decrease vision
• Lacrimation
14. Signs
• Ciliary injection (circumcorneal
flush)
• Fine white keratic precipitaes (KP)
• Aqueous flare and cell in anterior
chamber
• Iris nodules (Koeppe & Busacca
nodule )
• Iris atrophy
• Rubeosis iridis
• Miosis
• Posterior synechiae
24. What is glaucoma?
• A disease of
progressive optic
neuropathy
with loss of retinal
neurons and their
axons (nerve fiber
layer) resulting in
blindness if left
untreated.

25. Clinical picture of
glaucoma
1. High intraocular pressure
2. Optic disc change
cupping & degeneration
3. Visual field defect
