the resolution of inflmn. which may take
18 months in some cases.
Resistant cases- Keratoplasty.
66. By Dr. Banumathi Gurusamy, HPP 66
Principles in the management
(corneal ulcer)
• Primary therapy
• Promotion of re- epithelialisation
- Lubrication-Artificial tears
- Lid closure-Torsorrhaphy
- Bandage soft contact lens
• Prevention of perforation
- Tissue adhesive glue
- Conjunctival flap to cover the thinned
out cornea
67. By Dr. Banumathi Gurusamy, HPP 67
Principles in the management (cont)
• Ascorbate-in severe alkali burns to promote
healing
• Severe non-responding cases need therapeutic
penetrating keratoplasty
• Restoration of transparency:
- Healed corneal ulcer with dense
scarring - penetrating kerotoplasty
• Non responding ulcers- lead to perferation or
endophthalmitis/ pan ophthalmitis- which needs
evisceration
68. By Dr. Banumathi Gurusamy, HPP 68
Endophthalmitis
• Intraocular inflamation of ocular cavities and
their adjacent structures without extending
beyond sclera.
Panophthalmitis
•Endophthalmitis + Involvement of sclera and
tenons capsule extending into orbital tissues.
69. By Dr. Banumathi Gurusamy, HPP 69
Endophthalmitis
• Causes: Exogenous & Endogenous
• Exogenous:
- Penetrating ocular trauma
- Post op. complications (cataract & filtering
operations).
- Corneal ulcer
• Endogenous:
- Septic emboli- bacterial endocarditis
- Severe uveitis- immunocomp. Patients.
- Toxoplasma chorioretinitis.
- Spread of inf. From adjacent structures
70. By Dr. Banumathi Gurusamy, HPP 70
Endophthalmitis
• Clinical features:
Ciliary injection.
