29 MEIBOMIAN GLANDS SECRETE OVER 100 DIFFERENT LIPIDS, FATS, AND WAXES MEIBOMIAN GLANDS FELT TO BE AFFECTED BY NEURAL CONTROL ANY LOSS OF FUNCTION MAY INCREASE TEAR EVAPORATION HYPERKERATINIZATION OF THE LID MARGINS CAN CAUSE LOWER SECRETION

30 MGD TREATMENT CONTROL INFLAMMATION TOPICAL CYCLOSPORINE SHORT TERM STEROIDS SYSTEMIC TETRACYCLINES LID SCRUBS

31

32 MY MGD TREATMENT HOT COMPRESSES FOLLOWED WITH EXTERNAL APPLICATION OF ANTIBIOTIC OINTMENT WITH STEROIDS FOR ABOUT 1 WEEK DURATION. RUB OINTMENT ON EYELIDS AND MARGINS REPEAT OCCASIONALLY THIS WILL CLEAR ALMOST 100% OF CASES IN A FEW DAYS

33 DRY EYE ASSOCIATED WITH MEIBOMIAN GLAND DISEASE DECREASED LIPIDS IN THE TEAR FILM CAN LEAD TO INCREASED EVAPORATION WHICH CAN CAUSE A NEURAL FEEDBACK TO THE LACRIMAL GLAND AND MAKE DRY EYE CONDITIONS WORSE.

43 NEUROKERATITIS CORNEAL DISEASE DUE TO REDUCED CORNEAL SENSATION WHICH LEADS TO REDUCED CORNEAL WETTING AND INCREASED DRYNESS BLINK REFLEX IS REDUCED TREATMENT DIRECTED TO LUBRICATION, CONTROL OF INFECTION, REDUCE EXPOSURE AND REDUCING INFLAMMATION

46 38 YEAR OLD FEMALE WITH RED EYES AND TEARS RUNNING DOWN HER CHEEKS PATIENT WITH DRY EYE SYMPTOMS FORMERLY TREATED WITH TEAR DUCT PLUGS, WHICH HELPED AND THEN HAD TEAR DUCT PERMANENT OCCLUSION PATIENT NEVER HAD STEROIDS OR CYCLOSPORINE INCOMPLETE DIAGNOSTIC WORKUP ACTUAL DIAGNOSIS WAS ALLERGIC CONJUNCTIVITIS

47 IMPORTANT TO ADHERE TO PROGRESSIVE DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT PROTOCOLS BASED ON DEGREE OF SEVERITY

48 STEROID THERAPY PREDNISOLONE IS LEAST EXPENSIVE, IS EFFECTIVE. ABOUT 10% OF PATIENTS WILL GET INCREASED IOP AFTER 1 MONTH OF CONTINUED TREATMENT INTERMITTENT TREATMENT IS BEST TO AVOID IOP PROBLEMS. PATIENTS BEING TREATED NEED TO HAVE IOP CHECKED EVERY MONTH ALWAYS INDICATE THE TIME DURATION FOR TREATMENT ON YOUR PRESCRIPTION INDICATE ON THE MEDICAL RECORD THAT PATIENT HAS BEEN TOLD OF IOP COMPLICATIONS.

49 PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR STEROID TREATMENT COST COMFORT LOW INCIDENCE OF IOP RISE DURATION OF TREATMENT

50 LOTEPREDNOL MODIFICATION OF THE SIDE CHAIN ON THE STEROID RING FROM A KETONE TO AN ESTER REDUCES THE IOP INCREASE RATE TO ABOUT 2%

57 When to treat and when to refer Most patients respond well to the lower level of treatments described in this talk Close follow up is essential Make sure patients understand what they have and how long the treatment is to be in play. Some patients need to be told they will be using meds for a long time Failure to respond or patient low satisfaction is a good reason to refer Patients tend to be satisfied whether treated by the original doctor or a referral doctor
