46 Intraocular or Intraorbital Foreign Bodies

47 Ocular Trauma Traumatic cataract Traumatic lens subluxation Traumatic mydriasis Traumatic lens subluxation

48 Chemical Ocular Injury True ocular emergency Both acid and alkali burns can be blinding - Acid burns tend to coagulate proteins, limiting the depth of penetration. - Alkali burns can rapidly penetrate the cornea, causing damage to intraocular structures.

49 Chemical Ocular Injury : Management Immediate copious irrigation with a minimum of 1-2 L of saline or until ph is normalized ( ) - Instill a topical anesthetic - Use eyelid retractor - Double eversion of the eyelids

50 Irrigation in case of chemical injury

51 Chemical Ocular Injury : Management Immediate copious irrigation with a minimum of 1-2 L of saline or until ph is normalized ( ) - Instill a topical anesthetic - Use eyelid retractor - Double eversion of the eyelids No corneal involvement - ATB + steroid eye drop Ophthalmologists Referral

52 Chemical Ocular Injury : Classification Grade I Grade II Grade III Grade IV

53 Chemical Ocular Injury : Management Preservative-free artificial tears Topical non-preserved steroid Topical cycloplegic Topical antibiotics Oral analgesics Pressure patch or bandage CL Antiglaucoma +

54 Bilateral Alkali Injuries Chemical Ocular Injury

55 Chemical Ocular Injury : Management Keratoprosthesis Corneal Transplantation

56 Cyanoacrylate Glue Accidental into the eye can cause the lids to adhere and adhesive clumps to form on the cornea Not permanently harmful to the eye Cyanoacrylates are used occasionally directly on the cornea to seal corneal perforations.

57 Cyanoacrylate Glue Moisten the glue with eye ointment, and remove as much as can be removed easily without causing damage to underlying tissue The glue will loosen and become easier to remove in a few days.

58 Non-traumatic Ocular Emergencies

59 A 55-year-old woman with a red eye, blurred vision with halos, nausea, and vomiting The woman suddenly experienced nausea, vomiting, and extreme pain in the left eye while in a movie theater. Her vision has worsened since that time and the eye has become very red.

60 A 55-year-old woman with a red eye, blurred vision with halos, nausea, and vomiting VA - HM Conjunctival injection Hazy cornea Shallow anterior chamber Fixed mid-dilated pupil IOP 56 mmhg Acute Angle Closure Glaucoma

61 Anterior Chamber Depth

62 Acute Angle Closure Glaucoma Reduce the intraocular pressure O.5% Timolol 1 drop 2-4 % Pilocarpine 1 drop every 15 minutes 20% Mannitol ml IV drip Acetazolamide 500 mg oral 100% Glycerin 1 cc/kg Consult ophthalmologist

63 A 60-year-old woman with acute, painless loss of vision in the right eye Central Retinal Artery Occlusion Visual acuity CF LP in 90% of cases Opaque white retina and attenuated vessels

64 Central Retinal Artery Occlusion Treatment must be initiated immediately. Ocular massage Inhaled carbogen ( 95% O2 and 5% CO2 ) Reduced intraocular pressure Consult ophthalmologist immediately Anterior chamber paracentesis Direct infusion of t-pa or urokinase in the ophthalmic artery

72 A 55-year-old man with HT and acute visual loss in RE VA 20/100, 20/20 RAPD +ve RE ESR 10 mm/hr Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy

73 A 73-year-old woman with acute visual loss of right eye, headache, anorexia and weight loss VA 10/200, 20/25 RAPD + ve RE Arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy ESR 94 mm/hr, high level of C - reactive protein

74 Pathology : Giant Cell ( Temporal ) Arteritis

75 A 35-year-old man with left painful third nerve palsy VA 20/25, 20/30 Dilated, nonreactive pupil LE

76 A 35-year-old man with a suspicious of aneurysmal third nerve palsy Conventional CT scan or MRI are not the procedure of choice High false negative rate % Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) Computed tomography angiography (CTA) Overall sensitivity up to 97 %

77 A 35-year-old man with a suspicious of aneurysmal third nerve palsy

78 A 40-year-old woman with sudden onset of left third nerve palsy, visual loss and severe headache VA 20/30, LP +ve RAPD LE What is the diagnosis?

79 Pituitary Apoplexy Characterized by sudden visual loss, headache, and ophthalmoplegia secondary to rapid expansion of pituitary macroadenoma into the suprasellar space and/or cavernous sinus Commonly results from hemorrhage into a preexisting pituitary mass

80 A 17-year-old man with right blured vision after minor blunt trauma. VA 20/32, 20/20 + ve RAPD RE Normal fundi LE RE

81 A 16-year-old man with head injury and left blured vision after falls from height VA 20/30, LP + ve RAPD LE Normal fundi

82 Traumatic Optic Neuropathy : Classification and Mechanisms Direct injury - Penetrating injury from knife, projectile - Injury from fractured bone - Avulsion, transection Indirect injury - Contusion with transmission of force through bone - Compression secondary to orbital hemorrhage or intrasheath hemorrhage

83 Clinical Features of Traumatic Optic Neuropathy Most commonly unilateral May be overlooked in setting of significant globe or maxillofacial trauma Reduced visual acuity ( NLP to 20/20 ) Visual field defect : No pathognomonic defect Normal optic disc with development of optic atrophy

84 Medical Management Options Steroids : Controversial - Thought to limit free-radical amplification of the injury response - Dosages ( low, high, mega) - May be harmful Observation : 57% of untreated patients shown to have 3 lines or more acuity improvement

85 Surgical Management Options Lateral canthotomy and cantholysis for orbital hemorrhage Surgical decompression of the optic nerve within its canal There is no defined standard protocol of treatment for indirect optic nerve injury.
