The basis of manual small incision cataract surgery is the tunnel construction for entry to the anterior chamber.
The parameters important for the structural integrity of the tunnel are the self-sealing property of the tunnel, the location of the wound on the sclera with respect to the limbus, and the shape of the wound.
Cataract surgery has gone beyond just being a means to get the lens out of the eye.
Postoperative astigmatism plays an important role in the evaluation of final outcome of surgery. Astigmatic consideration, hence, forms an integral part of incisional considerations prior to surgery.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

DISEASES OF THE ORBIT--.pptx
1. DISEASES OF THE ORBIT
Mrs. Lavanya Kalikivayi, M.Opt., FLVPEI., FIACLE,
Associate Professor,
Ahalia School of Optometry & Research Centre,
Palakkad.
2. ANATOMY
• The orbit is a pear shaped cavity, the stalk of
which is the optic canal.
• The intra-orbital portion of the optic nerve is
longer (25mm) than the distance between the
back of the globe and the optic canal (18mm).
• This allows for significant forward
displacement of the globe (proptosis) without
excessive stretching of the nerve.
3. • The Roof consists of two bones: the lesser wing of
sphenoid and the orbital plate of the frontal.
• It is located subjacent to anterior cranial fossa and
frontal sinus.
• A defect in the roof may cause a pulsatile proptosis
as a result of transmission of CSF pulsation to the
orbit.
• The Lateral wall of the orbit also consists two bones:
the greater wing of sphenoid and the zygomatic.
• The anterior part of the globe is vulnerable to lateral
trauma, as it protrudes beyond the lateral orbital
margin.
4. • The Floor consists of three bones: the zygomatic,
maxillary and the palantine.
• The posteriomedial portion of the maxillary is
relatively weak and get involved in ‘blow out’
fracture.
• The floor of the orbit also forms the roof of the
maxillary sinus so that a maxillary carcinoma
invading the orbit may displace the globe
upwards.
• The medial wall consists of four bones: the
maxillary, lacrimal, ethmoid, and sphenoid.
5. • The lamina papyracea, which forms part of the
medial wall, is paper thin and is perforated by
numerous foramina for nerves and blood vessels.
• Orbital cellulitis is therefore frequently
secondary to ethmoidal sinusitis.
• The Superior orbital fissure is a slit connecting
the cranium and the orbit, between the greater
and lesser wings of sphenoid bone, through
which passes the following structures:
1. The superior portion contains the lacrimal,
frontal and trochlear nerves, and the superior
ophthalmic vein.
6. 2. The inferior portion contains the superior and
inferior divisions of the oculomotor nerve, the
abducens and nasociliary nerves and
sympathetic fibers from cavernous plexus.
3. Inflammation of the superior orbital fissure and
the apex (Tolsa-Hunt syndrome)may therefore
result in a multitude of signs including
ophthalmoplegia and venous outflow
obstruction.
• The Inferior orbital fissure lies between the
greater wing of sphenoid and the maxilla,
connectin the orbit to the pteregopalantine and
infratemporal fossae.
7. • Through it runs the maxillary nerve, zygomatic
nerve and branches of the pterygopalantine
ganglion as well as the inferior ophthalmic vein.
8. • Six P‘s: pain, proptosis, progression, palpation,
pulsation, and periorbital changes.
• Pain: inflammatory, infection, oribital
hemorrhage, malignant lacnimal gland tumors
and NPC
• Proptosis--Hertel exophthalmometer
• Axial proptosis-an intraconal space-occupying
lesion,
• Eccentric proptosis--- an ant.space-occupying
lesion.
9. Progression

2. Benign mixed
tumors,
3. Neurogenic tumors,
4. Cavernous
hemangiomas,
5. Lymphoma,

10. • Palpation:
• Superonasal quadrant---
1. mucoceles,
2. mucopyoceles,
3. encephaloceles,
4. neurofibromas, or
lymphoma.
• Superotemporal quadrant-
1. dermoids,
2. prolapsed lacrimal gland,
3. lacrimal gland tumors,
4. lymphoma, or
5. idiopathic orbital
inflammation disease.
• Pulsation:
• Without bruits-

2. Meningoencephaloceles,
or
3. Removal of the orbital
roof.
• With or without bruits-
1. Carotid cavernous fistulas,
2. Dural arteriovenous
fistulas, and
3. Orbital arteriovenous
fistulas.
11. Clinical evaluation of orbital disease
1. History: (1)pain, (2)mode of onset of
proptosis
2. Exclusion of pseudoproptosis:
(1) Large ipsilateral globe,
(2) Facial asymmetry,
(3) Contralateral enophthalmos (blow-out
fracture)
12. 3. Evaluation of ocular motility:

like myopia, paralysis of extra ocular muscles,
obese people, mullers stimulation by cocain
2/13/2023 14
15. Proptosis and Exophthalmos
• Abnormal protrusion of eye ball is called
proptosis or exophthalmos.
• The term exophthalmos is reserved for
prominence of the eye secondary to thyroid
disease
2/13/2023 15
16. Proptosis
• Abnormal protrusion of globe
• It may be Unilateral or Bilateral
• Unilateral – caused by orbital cellulitis, idiopathic
orbital inflammatory disease, thrombosis of orbital
vein, arterio-venous aneurysms, tumors of structures
of orbit , orbital haemorrahge , emphysema.
• Bilateral – endocrine exophthalmos , cavernous sinus
thrombosis , symmetrical orbital tumors, oxycephaly
- diminished orbital volume
2/13/2023 16
21. Types of Proptosis
• Axial proptosis - eye is pushed directly
forwards – lesions situated in optic nerve
and central space
• Non axial- situated elsewhere in orbit
pushes eye in opposite direction
2/13/2023 21
22. Causes of proptosis in different in different
locations
2/13/2023 22
Extra conal lesions Intra conal lesions Muscular disorders
Dermoid cyst Cavernous haemangioma Thyroid
ophthalmopathy
Rhabdomyosarcoma Optic nerve glioma Pseudo tumor
Extension of nasal
/sinus diseases

• Systemic examination
• ENT examination
• Biochemical and haematological investigations
• Imaging of bony structures- plain x ray
• Imaging of soft tissues –CT scan, MRI
• Vascular study- orbital venography, carotid
angiography, MR angiography, digital subtraction
angiography
2/13/2023 25
26. Orbital cellulitis
• Definition: Purulent inflammation of the cellular
tissue of the orbit
• Causes of Orbital Cellulitis:
Spread of infection from neighbouring structures
like nasal sinuses, eyelids, eyeball (like in case
of panophthalmitis) etc
Also due to deep penetrating injuries (specially
in cases of retained Foreign body) and
metastatic infection in cases of pyaemia
26
27.
28. Types of Orbital Cellulitis
• Two types- pre septal cellulitis and orbital
cellulitis
• Pre septal –structures anterior to orbital
septum, characterized by
• Erythema,
• Chemosis,
• Conjunctival discharge without restriction of
ocular movements and visual impairment
29. Types of Orbital Cellulitis
• Orbital – behind orbital septum, characterized
• Severe pain,
• Fever,
• Diminution of vision (due to retrobulbar neuritis or
compression of optic nerve and /or its blood supply),
• Massive swelling of lids,
• Chemosis,
• Proptosis,
• Restriction of ocular movements,
• Diplopia,
• An abscess may form pointing somewhere in the skin
of the lid near the orbital margin or fornix
29
32. Management
• Culture and sensitivity of pus, if present and of
blood
• Treatment –Broad spectrum Intravenous
antibiotics , and anti inflammatory
• If abscess has formed – Incision and Drainage
under cover of antibiotics
32
33. Cavernous sinus thrombosis
• Due to extension of thrombosis from various
feeding vessels
• Superior and inferior ophthalmic vein enter in
front
• Superior and inferior Petrosal sinus leave from
behind
• Cavernous sinus communicates with facial
veins, lateral sinus, jugular vein, Mastoid
emmisary vein-lateral sinus- superior petrosal
sinus 33
34. Cavernous sinus thrombosis
• Cavernous sinus on one side communicates
with other side through transverse sinus
• Because of connection with mastoid through
mastoid emmisary vein, mastoid tenderness
is diagnostic feature of cavernous sinus
thrombosis
35. Source of infection
• Orbital veins - as in cases of eryiepelas, septic
lesion of face, orbital cellulitis , infective
condition of face, mouth, nose, sinuses
• Furuncle of upper lip – dangerous area of face
• Metastatic infection or septic condition
35
36. Symptoms and Signs
• Patient may present with symptoms and signs of
Orbital cellulitis, there is sever supra-orbital pain
• Systemic features – headache, fever ,altered
sensorium, vomiting and cerebral symptoms
• Transference of symptoms and signs to other
eye (bilateral orbital cellulitis with which it may
be confused is very rare clinical condition).
• Mastoid edema and tenderness is present.
36
37. Symptoms and Signs
• In case of infection spreading to other eye,
the first sign is involvement of lateral
rectus of other eye
• Papilloedema
38. Treatment
• Emergency
• Broad spectrum Intra Venous antibiotics
• Anti coagulants
• Neurophysicians to be consulted
38
39. Exophthalmos
• Endocrine exophthalmos : Graves
Ophthalmopathy (dysthyroid eye disease) is
the commonest cause of uniocular or bilateral
proptosis in age groups between 25 and 50
years
39
40. Graves Disease
• Consists of Exophthalmos, and all signs of
thyrotoxicosis (i.e. tachycardia, muscular
tremors and raised BMR)
• The five main clinical manifestations are:
1. Soft tissue involvement
2. Lid retraction
3. Proptosis
4. Optic neuropathy
5. Restrictive myopathy.
40
41. Summary of signs in Graves disease
• Lid retraction in the primary gaze (DALRYMPLE SIGN)
• Lid lag – retarded descent of the upper lid on down gaze (VON
GRAEFE SIGN)
• Infrequent blinking and incomplete closure of lid (STELLWAG SIGN)
• Lid edema
• Staring and frightening appearance of the eyes which particularly
marked on attention fixation (KOCHER SIGN)
• Exophthalmos
• Conjunctival congestion over the insertion of recti muscles and
chemosis
• Convergence insufficiency (MOBIUS SIGN)
• Diplopia
• Raised intraocular tension may be present
• Superior limbic keratopathy
42. Werner classification of signs (NO SPECS)
• Grade 0 – No signs or symptom
• Grade 1 – Only sign (lid retraction)
• Grade 2 – Soft tissue involvement (Chemosis)
• Grade 3 – Proptosis (which may be minimum
<23, moderate , marked >28)
• Grade 4 – Extraocular muscle involvement
• Grade 5 – Corneal involvement
• Grade 6 – Sight loss
42
43. Exophthalmic Ophthalmoplegia
• Is proptosis with external ophthalmoplegia
• Usually seen in middle aged people , it is of
insidious onset, typically assymetrical limiting
upward movement and abduction due to
swollen, pale edematous, infiltrated ocular
muscles .
• There is irreducible exophthalmos with risk of
exposure keratitis , globe dislocation mechanical
compression of optic nerve and ophthalmic
vessels
43
44. Exophthalmic Ophthalmoplegia
• Disease is self limiting with intermissions and
relapses, usually not affected by any
treatment.
• Spontaneous resolution may take place which
rarely is complete.
44
45. Treatment of Exophthalmic
Ophthalmoplegia
• Short term oral steroid therapy (with dose of 40-60
mg) with radiotherapy (1000 rad ) are effective in
controlling soft tissue inflammation
• Exposed cornea should be protected by doing
tarsorrhaphy in less severe cases , by orbital
decompression in more severe cases.
• Lateral tarsorrhaphy may also be needed.
• Residual muscle palsy is dealt with muscle
adjustment surgery.
45
46. Types
• Type – I : Characterized by symmetrical mild
proptosis with lid retraction usually associated
with thyrotoxicosis
• Type – II : Characterized by extreme
exophthalmos, compressive neuropathy and
extraocular muscle involvement.
• This form may be associated with any state of
thyroid function, but usually with
hypothyroidism, seen after thyroidectomy.
46
47. Cause of exophthalmos
• Due to edema,
• lymphocytic infiltration anfibrosis of orbital
contents and extra-ocular muscles
• Lid retraction is due to contraction of Muller
muscle
47
48. Orbital pseudotumor
• Idiopathic, non-specific, inflammatory, orbital
disease
• Presentation--20-50 years of age.
• Painful lid edema,
• EOM--limitation proptosis.
• Children: 1/3 bilateral involvement.
• Adult: bilateral--- associated with systemic
disease.
• Treatment--observation, systemic steroids,
radiotherapy,
• Cytotoxic drugs.
49. Orbital myositis
• Unilateral ptosis, diplopia, redness and pain
over the involved muscle.
• Examination-pain on attempted gaze into the
field of action of the involved muscle.
• CT: fusiform enlargement of the involved
muscle.
• Treatment-systemic steroids or NSAID
50. Tolosa-Hunt syndrome
• involve the orbital apex, sup. Orbital fissure,
such as inflammation, vascular and traumatic
lesions, and tumuors.
• Presentation-ipsilateral periorbital or
hemicranial pain.
• Examination--proptosis, ocular cranial nerve
palsies, pupillomotor dysfunction.
• Sensory loss of 1 and 2 divisions of V nerve.
• Treatment---systemic steroids.

72. BLOW OUT FRACTURE
• Blow out fracture occurs when a blunt object greater in
diameter than the orbital rim such as fist, tennis or cricket
ball strikes the orbital cavity
• The mechanisms proposed for blow out fracture are-
• Hydraulic theory
• Buckling theory
73. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Buckling theory or transmission theory or
Indirect injury theory:
• External force to inferior orbital rim is
transmitted along the orbital walls causing a
ripple effect leading to fracture at the weakest
point in the posterior medial region of the
floor.
74. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Hydraulic theory or Retropulsion theory or Direct
injury theory:
• Sudden compression and backward displacement of
globe raises the intra orbital pressure leading to
fracture of orbital floor.
• Medial Wall & Floor –Thin &
Fragile
• Fracture readily – provide
natural compensation
• As they fracture – Orbital Size
75. Types
a) Pure blowout fracture:
• Fracture of the orbital floor with intact orbital rim
b) Impure blowout fracture:
• Associated fracture of the orbital rim
76. Clinical Features
• Circumorbital Edema
• Subconjunctival Bleeding – due to fracture -
subperiosteal bleeding - escapes in
subconjuctival plane.
• Periorbital haematoma: also proptosis of
variable degree seen initially due to orbital
edema and haemorrhage
77. Clinical Features
• Enopthalmos - Increase in size of Orbit -
Eyeball sinks
• Periorbital Fat Herniates through fractured
walls - ‘Hanging-drop’ Appearance
• Unilateral Epistaxis – bleeding into antrum
79. Clinical Features
• Paraesthesia - Numbness in area of
distribution of Infraorbital Nerve over
ipsilateral lower lid, cheek and upper lip
Diplopia or Vertical gage – Inferior Rectus or
Inferior Oblique gets entrapped in fracture
• inability of eyeball to move in vertical
direction
80. Clinical Features
• Also displacement of orbital contents into
maxillary sinus and traction over globe caused
by entrapped tissue leads to posterior and
inferior displacement of globe.
• Pseudoptosis occurs due to loss of support.
81. Evaluation
• visual acuity at presentation has medico-legal importance in
ocular trauma cases.
• If required eyelids can be gently separated to allow patient to read
the chart.
• Palpate orbital rim to look for deformity and crepitus
• Slit lamp evaluation of cornea and anterior segment should be
performed.
• RAPD points towards optic nerve injury.
• Fundus evaluation should be done to note for Berlin’s oedema
82. Ocular motility
• Hertel exopthalmometer: To document enophthalmos.
• With passage of time and absorption of orbital fat over period can lead to
increase in enophthalmos.
• Force Duction Test (FDT): FDT is useful in determining whether
dysmotility is restrictive or paralytic.
In blow out fracture with inferior rectus entrapment FDT is ‘positive’
indicating mechanical cause.
• Force Generation Test (FGT): In testing force generation, the muscle
insertion is grasped and the patient is asked to look into the muscle’s
field of action. A paretic muscle will feel weak when compared with the
fellow eye.
• Diplopia charting: With red green glass, diplopia charting with streak
light shows diplopia worsening in upgaze
• Hess screen or Lee screen test can be done.
83.
84. Imaging
• Plain X-rays:. Water’s view for detecting an orbital floor
fracture .
• X ray shows bony discontinuity in orbital floor with
herniation of soft tissue in maxillary antrum seen as
‘hanging drop’ sign
• CT gives detailed visualization of bony and soft tissue
injury where entrapment of muscle can be appreciated.
• Coronal sections are particularly useful .
• MRI Can be utilized when there is need for greater soft
tissue evaluation
• MRI is insufficient in assessing the bony structures and
therefore needs to be combined with CT.
85. Superior Orbital Fissure Syndrome
Contents of Superior Orbital Fissure :
• 3 rd Cranial Nerve (Occulomotor)
• 4 th Cranial Nerve (Trochlear)
• 6 th Cranial Nerve (Abducent)
• 5 th Cranial Nerve (Trigeminal) – Opthalmic
Branch
• Opthalmic Artery
• Opthalmic Vein
87. Superior Orbital Fissure Syndrome
• Due to paresis of these nerves all these
extraocular muscles undergo paralysis
eyeball fails to move ‘External
Opthalmoplegia’
• As affected eye does not move whereas
contralateral normal eyeball moves focal
axis gets disturbed two images - Diplopia
88. Clinical Manifestations
• External Opthalmoplegia – Eyeball fails to
move
• Diplopia – Two images of one object
• Internal Opthalmoplegia – Fixed Dilated
pupils (parasympathetic – III cranial nerve –
Occulomotor )
• Ptosis of Upper Eyelid – upper eyelid drops
down like a curtain – parasympathetic supply.
• Orbital Apex Syndrome – If Optic Nerve
Involvement is present.
89. BLOW IN FRACTURE
• Fragmented bones of the orbital floor are
displaced into the orbit.
• Proptosis – Exopthalmos
• More commonly seen in fractures of – orbital
roof
91. IMAGING
• CT Scan – Orbit - To visualize the fractured
segments
• CT Scan – also helps evaluate the Intraorbital
volume.
• By using a software to compare the normal
orbital volume to the affected
• MRI
92. Management
• Restriction in ocular movement and / or diplopia is
caused not only by entrapment of muscle but soft
tissue edema, hemorrhage and motor nerve palsy
can also be the cause.
• A better evaluation can be made if time is allowed
for clearing of initial edema and hemorrhage.
• It is generally accepted that a 2 week window of
observation can be allowed in absence of urgent
surgical indications
93. Observation
• Minimal diplopia (not in primary or downgaze),
• Good ocular motility
• No significant enophthalmos or hypo-ophthalmos
94. Medical treatment
• Consider broad-spectrum oral antibiotics (e.g., cephalexin 250 to 500 mg
p.o. q.i.d.; or erythromycin 250 to 500 mg p.o. q.i.d; or doxycycline 100 mg
po b.i.d.) for 7 days.
• Antibiotics may be considered if the patient has a history of chronic
sinusitis, diabetes, or is otherwise immunocompromised.
• Prophylactic antibiotics should not be considered mandatory in patients
with orbital fractures.
• Patient advised not to blow nose as it can worsen orbital emphysema.
95. • Nasal decongestants (e.g., oxymetazoline nasal spray b.i.d.) for 3
days. Use is limited to 3 days to minimize the chance of rebound
nasal congestion.
• Apply q1–2h ice packs for 20 minutes each hour to the eyelids for
the first 24 to 48 hours and 30-degree incline when at rest.
• Consider oral corticosteroids (e.g., Medrol dose pack) if extensive
swelling limits examination of ocular motility and globe position.
• Neurosurgical consultation is recommended for all fractures
involving the orbital roof, frontal sinus, or cribriform plate, and for
all fractures associated with intracranial hemorrhage.
• Otolaryngology or oral maxillofacial surgery consultation may be
useful for frontal sinus, midfacial, and mandibular fractures
96. Follow up
• At 1 and 2 weeks after trauma to be evaluated for persistent diplopia and/or
enophthalmos after the acute orbital edema has resolved.
• If sinusitis symptoms develop or were present prior to the injury, the patient
should be seen within a few days of the injury.
• Fundus examination to assure there is no peripheral retinal damage.
• Depending on the level of associated ocular injury, patients should also be
monitored for the development of associated ocular injuries (e.g., orbital cellulitis,
angle-recession glaucoma, and retinal detachment).
• Gonioscopy of the AC angle and dilated retinal examination with scleral depression
is performed 3 to 4 weeks after trauma if a hyphema or microhyphema was
present.
• Warning symptoms of retinal detachment and orbital cellulitis are explained to the
patient
