Introduction The Red Eye John Knapp, MD DIFFERENTIATE RED EYE DISORDERS Needs immediate treatment Needs treatment within a few days Does not require treatment Introduction SUBJECTIVE EYE COMPLAINTS Evaluation RED EYE: POSSIBLE CAUSES Decreased vision Pain Redness Characterize the complaint through history and exam. Trauma Chemicals Infection Allergy Systemic conditions Introduction ETIOLOGIES OF RED EYE Evaluation RED EYE: CAUSE AND EFFECT 1. Chemical injury 2. Angle-closure glaucoma 3. Ocular foreign body 4. Corneal abrasion 5. Uveitis 6. Conjunctivitis 7. Ocular surface disease 8. Subconjunctival hemorrhage Symptom Itching Burning Cause Allergy Lid disorders, dry eye Foreign body sensation Foreign body, corneal abrasion Localized lid tenderness Hordeolum, chalazion 1

Evaluation RED EYE: CAUSE AND EFFECT (Continued) Symptom Cause Deep, intense pain Photophobia Halo vision Corneal abrasions, scleritis, iritis, acute glaucoma, sinusitis, etc. Corneal abrasions, iritis, acute glaucoma Corneal edema (acute glaucoma, uveitis) Evaluation Equipment needed to evaluate red eye Evaluation Often don t need or can t get a refraction, but definitely obtain pinhole visual acuity. Evaluation RED EYE DISORDERS: AN ANATOMIC APPROACH Face Adnexa Orbital area Lids Ocular movements Globe Conjunctiva, sclera Anterior chamber (using slit lamp if possible) Intraocular pressure (with tono-pen is fine) Meibomian Glands located in tarsal plate in upper and lower eyelids Hordeolum 2

Eyelid lesions Stye Chalazion: A painless (usually, but acutely painfull), slowly enlarging bump, usually chronic, formed by inflammation (not infection) of the meibomian glands. Hordeolum: A localized infection or inflammation, usually acute, involving hair follicles of the eyelashes or meibomian glands. Chalazion Chalazion Hordeolum 13 HORDEOLUM/CHALAZION: TREATMENT Goal To promote drainage Treatment Acute/subacute: Warm-hot compresses and eyelid massage (try to gently express the MG) Chronic: incision and currettage or steroid injection or can try topical gtt like Azasite or steroid gtts BLEPHARITIS AKA anterior blepharitis (lashes mostly) Inflammation of lid margin Associated with dry eyes Seborrhea causes dried skin and wax on base of lashes May have Staphylococcal infection Symptoms: lid burning, lash mattering Meibomian Gland Dysfunction Probably most common cause of chronic eye irritation Inadequate quantity and/or quality of meibomian gland secretions / oil Can also have inflammatory component, hence AKA posterior blepharitis Collarettes on eyelashes of patient with blepharitis 16 3

Blepharitis and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction These are very commonly seen together (anterior + posterior blepharitis) and treatment is similar and overlaps How the Eye Works Treatment Blepharitis Cleaning the eyelid margins (i.e. warm water with baby shampoo or commercial eyelid cleaner e.g. Ocusoft or Sterilid - http://www.dryeyezone.com/encyclopedia/lidscrubs.html Antibiotic ointment or antibiotic & steroid combination Demodex blepharitis TTO or Cliradex (4-Terpineol) Hypochlorous acid - NEW (Avenova or Ocusoft) Meibomian gland dysfunction Warm compresses 2-3 times daily and eyelid massage (new: Lipiflow - in-office thermal treatment) Omega-3 FA s Diet: Fish, walnuts, etc Supplement: Fish oil tablets Oral antibiotics in severe cases (ocular rosacea) i.e. Doxycycline Both 19 Artificial tears, best choices are name-brand and preservativefree Preseptal cellulitis Orbital cellulitis ORBITAL CELLULITIS: SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS External signs: redness, swelling (same as preseptal cellulitis) How to distinguish from preseptal: Motility impaired, painful ± Proptosis Often fever and leukocytosis ± Optic nerve: decreased vision, afferent pupillary defect, disc edema ORBITAL CELLULITIS: MANAGEMENT ID consultation possibly Orbital CT scan (r/o subperiosteal abcess) CBC +/- Blood culture ENT consult if pre-existing sinus disease Hospitalization for IV abx (especially for kids), in select adult cases may manage as outpt under close supervision 4

Lacrimal System Disorders ORBITAL CELLULITIS: TREATMENT IV antibiotics stat: Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, H. influenzae Surgical debridement if fungus, no improvement, or subperiosteal abscess Complications: cavernous sinus thrombosis, meningitis Lacrimal system Lacrimal System Disorders Lacrimal System Disorders NASOLACRIMAL DUCT OBSTRUCTION: CONGENITAL Massage tear sac daily Probing, irrigation, if chronic Systemic antibiotics if infected Dacryocystitis Lacrimal System Disorders NASOLACRIMAL DUCT OBSTRUCTION: ACQUIRED Trauma a common cause Systemic antibiotics if infected Surgical procedure after one episode of dacryocystitis (dacryocystorhinostomy or DCR) prn 5

ADULT CONJUNCTIVITIS: MAJOR CAUSES Viral Bacterial Allergic Dilated conjunctival blood vessels CONJUNCTIVITIS: DISCHARGE Discharge Cause Purulent Bacterial Clear Viral* BACTERIAL CONJUNCTIVITIS: COMMON CAUSES Staphylococcus (skin) Streptococcus (respiratory) Haemophilus (respiratory) Watery, with stringy; white mucus Allergic** * Preauricular lymphadenopathy signals viral infection ** Itching often accompanies BACTERIAL CONJUNCTIVITIS TREATMENT Topical antibiotic: qid x 7 days (aminoglycoside, erythromycin, fluoroquinolone, or trimethoprimpolymyxin) Artificial tears Copious purulent discharge: Suspect Neisseria gonorrhoeae. 6

VIRAL CONJUNCTIVITIS Watery discharge Highly contagious Palpable preauricular lymph node History of URI, sore throat, fever common Viral conjunctivitis ALLERGIC CONJUNCTIVITIS Allergic conjunctivitis Associated conditions: hay fever, asthma, eczema Contact allergy: chemicals, cosmetics, pollen Treatment: topical antihistamine drops, rarely need NSAID or steroid drops (Ketotifen great drop to start with) Systemic antihistamines may help NEONATAL CONJUNCTIVITIS: CAUSES Bacteria (N. gonorrhoeae, 2 4 days) Bacteria (Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, 3 5 days) Chlamydia (5 12 days) Viruses (eg, herpes, from mother) Neonatal gonococcal conjunctivitis 7

NEONATAL CHLAMYDIAL CONJUNCTIVITIS: TREATMENT Erythromycin ointment: qid x 4 weeks Erythromycin po x 2 3 weeks 40 50 mg/kg/day or even single dose of po azithromycin may be effective Neonatal chlamydial conjunctivitis TEARS AND DRY EYES Tear functions: Lubrication Bacteriostatic and immunologic functions Dry eye (keratoconjunctivitis sicca) is a tear deficiency state Subconjunctival hemorrhage TEAR DEFICIENCY STATES: SYMPTOMS Burning Foreign-body sensation Paradoxical reflex tearing Symptoms can be made worse by reading, computer use, television, driving, lengthy air travel (decreased blink rate ) TEAR DEFICIENCY STATES: ASSOCIATED CONDITIONS Aging Rheumatoid arthritis Stevens-Johnson syndrome Chemical injuries Ocular pemphigoid Systemic medications 8

Newer Dry Eye Diagnostics, examples- Tear Osmolarity and InflammaDry (MMP-9), more on the way DRY EYES: TREATMENT Artificial tears Preservative-free artificial tears Lubricating ointment at bedtime Punctal occlusion Warm compresses to eyelids Counseling about activities that make dry eyes worse Cyclosporine drops (Restasis) Lifitegrast (Xiidra) - NEW EXPOSURE KERATITIS: CAUSES AND MANAGEMENT Due to incomplete lid closure Manage with lubricating solutions/ointments Tape lids shut at night Careful about patching without taping may cause a corneal abrasion Thyroid exophthalmos: one cause of exposure keratitis Pinguecula Pterygium 9

INFLAMED PINGUECULA AND PTERYGIUM: MANAGEMENT Artificial tears, something short course of topical steroids Counsel patients to avoid irritation If documented growth decreased vision may need surgery ACUTE CORNEAL DISORDERS: SYMPTOMS Eye pain Foreign-body sensation Deep and boring Photophobia Blurred vision Irregular corneal light reflex and central corneal opacity Fluorescein dye strip applied to the conjunctiva 10

CORNEAL ABRASION Signs and symptoms: redness, tearing, pain, photophobia, foreign-body sensation, blurred vision, small pupil Causes: injury, welder s arc, contact lens overwear Corneal abrasion, stained with fluorescein and viewed with cobalt blue light MANAGEMENT Goals: Promote rapid healing Relieve pain Prevent infections Treatment: 1% cyclopentolate (or another cycloplegic) Topical antibiotics Drops polytrim, tobrex, fluoroquinolone, etc Ointment erythromycin, bacitracin/polymyxin, etc ± Pressure patch or tape lids shut ok but not necessary in all cases Bandage contacts another option ± Oral analgesics, usually OTC options enough Applying a pressure patch reasonable, my preference is eyelid taping Foreign body CHEMICAL INJURY Remove with cotton tip, spud, needle tip, and/or use diamond burr for associated rust ring with metal FB A true ocular emergency Requires immediate irrigation with nearest source of water, can use Morgan Lens hooked up to normal saline or ringers lactate, may need 8-10 liters, ph should return to 7-7.4. Cederroth (sterile buffered isotonic sodium chloride) - buffer, even better than saline Management depends on offending agent 11

Chemical burn: acid BAD! Chemical burn: alkali Worse!!! INFECTIOUS KERATITIS Frequently result from mechanical trauma (i.e. CL use, especially EW) Can cause permanent scarring and decreased vision Early detection, aggressive therapy are vital Corneal ulcer Giant papillary conjunctivitis Bacterial infection of the cornea Primary herpes simplex infection 12

Rx Topical Anesthetics Corneal herpes simplex dendrites, stained with fluorescein TOPICAL STEROIDS: SIDE EFFECTS should only be prescribed by Ophthalmology Always ask and document who started patient on steroid therapy Facilitate corneal penetration of herpes virus Elevate IOP (steroid-induced glaucoma) Cataract formation and progression Potentiate fungal corneal ulcers Hyphema most important thing is to look for signs of open globe i.e. peaked pupil and/or hypotony INFLAMMATORY CONDITIONS CAUSING A RED EYE: Episcleritis Scleritis Anterior uveitis (iritis) Episcleritis Scleritis 13

IRITIS UVEITIS: SLIT LAMP FINDINGS Signs and Symptoms Circumlimbal redness Pain Photophobia Decreased vision Miotic pupil Rule Out Systemic inflammation Trauma Autoimmune disease Systemic infection White cells in anterior chamber Hypopyon Keratic precipitates ACUTE GLAUCOMA: SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Red eye Severe pain in, around eye Frontal headache Blurred vision, halos seen around lights Nausea, vomiting Pupil fixed, mid-dilated, slightly larger than contralateral side Elevated IOP (IF NOT ELEVATED IT IS NOT ACUTE ANGLE CLOSURE GLAUCOMA!!!) Corneal haze ACUTE GLAUCOMA: INITIAL TREATMENT Goal break attack Pilocarpine Timolol Brimzolamide or dorzolamide Apraclonidine or brimonidine Consider steroid drop and even prostaglandin analogue Acetazolamide 500 mg po or IV (not Sequel until IOP down) IV mannitol 20% 300 500 cc (or other osmotic, rarely used) Also: ocular massage, compression gonioscopy, and LPI, rarely may need Laser iridoplasty or even surgical PI Acute angle-closure glaucoma 14

Summary COMMON RED EYE DISORDERS: TREATMENT INDICATED Hordeolum Chalazion Blepharitis Conjunctivitis Subconjunctival hemorrhage Dry eyes Corneal abrasions (most) Summary VISION-THREATENING RED EYE SIGNS & SYMPTOMS: Telephone triage for same day add-on in Eye clinic Decreased vision Severe ocular pain not relieved by topical proparacaine Severe photophobia Circumlimbal redness (this classic picture of ciliary flush in ACG is rarely seen though ) Severe corneal edema Corneal ulcers (> 2mm) / dendrites Abnormal pupil (assuming not chronic) Elevated IOP (nl IOP 10-22 mmhg mild elevation i.e. high 20 s is not that urgent vs IOP of 50 is a big deal) Summary Summary VISION-THREATENING RED EYE DISORDERS: URGENT EVALUATION Orbital cellulitis Scleritis (very painful, not relieved at all by proparacaine) Chemical injury (except very mild cases of course) Severe corneal infection (visible without slit lamp) Hyphema (need to r/o open globe) Iritis (decreased vision and severe photophobia) Acute glaucoma (significantly increased IOP) Questions?
