2. Suppurative keratitis
Purulent /Corneal Ulcer
Non –Suppurative Keratitis
Non Purulent
Corneal ulcer :
Refers to corneal tissue excavation
associated with an epithelial defect,
usually with infiltration and
necrosis
2
5. Corneal ulcers can be classified in three ways
1. On The Basis Of Aetiology
2. On The Basis Of Location Of Ulcer
3. On The Basis Of Involvement Of The Corneal Layers
Superficial – superficial to Bowman’s layer
Deep - Involve Stroma and other deep layer
4. Severity – Mild ( <2mm in size)
Moderate ( 2-5 mm size )
Severe ( 5 mm in size )

6. . On The Basis Of Aetiology
Classification
a. Infective:
Bacterial
Viral
Fungal
Protozoal
b. Non-infective/sterile :
Neuroparalytic
Neurotrophic
Corneal ulcer due to
Vit A deficiency

9. Predisposing Factors
Local Factors :
▸ Ocular trauma
▸ Dry eye
▸ Chronic dacryocystitis
▸ Exophthalmos
▸ Xerophthalmia
▸ Entropion
▸ Trichiasis
▸ Contact lens wear
▸ Prolong use of local steroids
▸ Extreme Age
▸ Immunocompromised Individuals
▸ Lagophthalmos( Facial paralysis )

11. Predisposing Factors
▸ Contact lens users are predisposed
to corneal ulcer.
▸ Causes :
▸ Negligence
▸ Prolonged period of time
▸ Cleaning with tap water
▸ Contamination

13. Ocular Defence Mechanism
▸ Corneal epithelium- mechanical barrier
▸ Conjunctiva- cellular & chemical
components
▸ Tear film- biological protective system
Major components of ocular defense system

14. Barriers Of Microbial Infection
Anatomical
▸ Intact corneal
and conjuctival
epithelium
▸ Bony Orbital
rim ,Eye lids
Mechanical
▸ Tear Film –
Mucus Layer
▸ Lacrimal
System
Antimicrobial
▸ Tear film

16. Pathogenesis
Corneal abrasion- Microbes adhere , clone and invade to stromal
lamellae,release toxins & lytic enzymes
Host response
PMNs at the site of defect from tears & limbal vessels, release of
cytokines & interleukins , progressive invasion of cornea & increase in
size of ulcer
▸ Phagocytosis
Release of free radicals, proteolytic enzymes Necrosis & sloughing of
epithelium, Bowman’s membrane & stroma
A saucer shaped defect with projecting walls above the normal surface
due to swelling of tissue resulting from fluid imbibitions by corneal
stroma with grey zone of infiltration

17. Pathogenesis
▸ Stage of Ulceration
▸ Stage of Progression
▸ Stage of Regression
▸ Stage of Healing

18. Presenting Symptoms:
Lacrimation
Photophobia
Blephrospasm
pain
congestion of eye
Decrease visual acuity
foreign body sensation
▸ Bacterial
▸ Purulent
Discharge
▸ Fungal
▸ Dry looking
▸ Signs more
than
symptoms
▸ Trauma to
vegetative
matter
▸ Protozoal
▸ Contact
lens user
▸ Swimming
bathing in
infected
pool/water
▸ Viral
▸ Recurrence
▸ Fever
▸ Skin
