Non-Infectious keratitis
This document discusses various types of peripheral non-infectious keratitis, including Mooren ulcer, Terrien marginal degeneration, dellen, furrow degeneration, neurotrophic keratitis, and exposure keratitis. It provides details on the pathogenesis, signs and symptoms, clinical presentation, diagnostic considerations, and management approaches for each condition. The conditions are characterized by thinning and/or ulceration preferentially affecting the peripheral rather than the central cornea. Management involves identifying and treating underlying causes, using lubricants, bandage contact lenses, amniotic membrane grafts, tarsorrhaphy, and in some cases immunosuppression or surgery.
Blepharitis
Blepharitis is a common eyelid inflammation that can be caused by bacterial infections or dry eye conditions. It is characterized by scaling or crusting of the eyelashes and eyelid margins. There are two main types - anterior blepharitis, which involves inflammation at the base of the eyelashes, and posterior blepharitis, which affects the glands of the eyelid. Symptoms include burning, irritation, tearing and worsening in the morning. Treatment focuses on eyelid hygiene through warm compresses and lid scrubs to remove scales and debris. Blepharitis can exacerbate dry eye and may cause long-term eyelid changes if left untreated. It may also increase risks of certain inflammatory
Exposure keratopathy
Exposure keratopathy occurs when the eyelids fail to properly close and lubricate the cornea due to underlying conditions that limit eyelid closure. This leads to drying and damage of the corneal epithelium. Causes of exposure keratopathy include 7th cranial nerve palsy, lid abnormalities such as lagophthalmos or ectropion, and orbital diseases causing proptosis. Treatment focuses on adequate lubrication and ensuring eyelid closure through temporary or permanent measures such as lid taping, tarsorrhaphy, or ptosis surgery. Prevention involves assessing corneal protective mechanisms and warning patients of risks.
Corneal edema
This document discusses various causes of corneal edema. It begins by explaining that corneal edema can be caused by endothelial dysfunction or situations exceeding the endothelium's barrier and pump capacity. Specific conditions that can lead to corneal edema are then outlined, including persistent epithelial defects, increased intraocular pressure, primary endothelial diseases, Fuch's dystrophy, posterior polymorphous dystrophy, congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy, iridocorneal endothelial syndrome, and corneal edema induced by cataract surgery or other ocular procedures and injuries. Treatment options are mentioned for selected conditions.

Lid inflammation 17.08.16
Blepharitis is an inflammation of the eyelid margins that can be caused by bacteria, seborrhea, or meibomian gland dysfunction. It commonly presents with irritation, itching, crusting or scaling of the eyelids. Treatment involves warm compresses, lid scrubs, antibiotic ointments or drops, and oral antibiotics if needed. More severe forms include hordeolum (styes) which are infections of the eyelid glands, and chalazion which are non-infected cysts of the meibomian glands that may require incision and drainage. Regular lid hygiene is important to prevent complications and recurrence.
Hand infection
Hand infection
Hand contains neurovascular bundles, muscles, bones and ligaments.
Infection may be due to minor injuries or blood borne.
Exposure keratopathy
Exposure keratopathy develops when the eyelids do not adequately cover and protect the cornea during blinking. This can be caused by factors like Bell's palsy or exposure proptosis that limit eyelid closure. Without protection, the corneal epithelium dries out and is invaded by infectious organisms, leading to symptoms of irritation, redness, and corneal ulceration or perforation. Treatment focuses on managing the underlying cause through artificial tears, ointments, or contact lenses and may require suturing the eyelids shut to protect the cornea.
Blepharitis : Overview and management
Blepharitis is a common ocular disease seen and managed in the OPD. This presentation tries to cover the overview of the disease and its management.
Hordeolum
Hordeolum, commonly known as a sty, is an infection of the eyelid caused by a blocked oil gland. It presents with redness, swelling and pain in the eyelid, and possibly drainage. Treatment involves applying warm compresses, antibiotic drops or ointment, and incising any abscesses that do not resolve within two days. It is important to examine the eye thoroughly and watch for signs of a more severe periorbital cellulitis requiring systemic antibiotics.

Eye lid disorders
BLEPHARITIS
Blepharitis is a chronic inflammation of the lid margins.
Etiology
1. It follows chronic conjunctivitis due to Staphyloccocus in
debilitated children usually who are living in poor hygienic
conditions.
2. Parasites such as Demodex folliculorum, Phthiriasis
palpebrarum, crab louse, head louse also cause blepharitis.
A stye is an infection (abcess) of one of the small oil producing glands lining the eyelid, usually caused by the bacteria that are normally found along the eyelids.
A stye can occur on either the upper or lower eyelid.
There are two types of styes, internal and external hordeola.
An internal hordeolum (stye) is a bacterial infection of the meibomian glands inside the eyelids.
Internal styes tend to be more severe and occur a little less often than an external hordeolum.
An external hordeolum (stye) is a bacterial infection of the Glands of Zeis and/or Glands of Moll inside the eyelids.
This type of stye is more superficial and tends to heal more readily.
It is a chronic lipogranulomatous inflammatory lesion caused by blockage of meibomian gland orifices and stagnation of sebaceous secretion.
Patient with acne rosacea or seborhoeic dermatitis are at increased risk of chalazion formation which may be multiple or recurrent.
If it is recurrent, one should think of sebaceous gland carcinoma
Chalazion
Chalazion is a chronic inflammatory nodule of the meibomian gland in the eyelid. It is the most common benign eyelid lesion, occurring more often in adults. Chalazions start as small, tender swellings and are caused by obstruction and retention of secretions in the meibomian gland. On pathology, they show chronic inflammation with lipid-filled giant cells. Clinically, they appear as painless, hard swellings of the eyelid that can cause blurry vision. Treatment involves warm compresses, antibiotics, steroids, or incision and curettage for larger lesions. Complications include infection, cyst formation, or recurrence.
Ophthalmia neonatorum.docx
Ophthalmia neonatorum is inflammation of the conjunctiva in infants less than 30 days old, usually caused by infections transmitted during or after birth. Common causes include gonorrhea, chlamydia, staph, and strep bacteria. Left untreated, gonorrheal ophthalmia can lead to corneal ulceration and blindness. Prophylactic treatment with antibiotics like tetracycline or erythromycin ointment immediately after birth can prevent most cases. For diagnosed infections, treatment involves topical antibiotics, antivirals, or antiseptics as well as systemic antibiotics depending on the causative agent. Prompt and complete treatment is important to resolve symptoms and prevent complications.
Diseases of the Cornea
This presentation describes the background of the cornea and the corneal diseases in general, also it describes in detailed manner how to manage the corneal ulcer with its different causes
xXx !
This document discusses various infectious diseases and their ocular manifestations, including herpes simplex virus, syphilis, gonorrhea, human papillomavirus, HIV/AIDS, pubic lice, chlamydia, and molluscum contagiosum. It also discusses contraception and various drugs' potential ocular side effects, such as those from medications used to treat sexually transmitted infections, diabetes medications, and erectile dysfunction drugs like Viagra. The function discusses links between erectile dysfunction and diabetic retinopathy and potential visual side effects of medications like beta blockers and Viagra.
Disorders of eyelids
Congenital ptosis, coloboma, epicanthus, and distichiasis are common congenital eyelid anomalies. Blepharitis is a chronic inflammation of the lid margins that can be anterior (squamous or ulcerative) or posterior (meibomitis) in nature. Hordeolum (stye) is an acute suppurative infection of the eyelash follicle or meibomian gland that presents as a tender, red swelling and is usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Chalazion is a chronic non-infectious cyst of the meibomian gland that appears as a painless, firm nodule.
Trichiasis
Trichiasis is a condition where eyelashes are misdirected toward the eye, causing irritation, pain, photophobia, and foreign body sensation. It can be caused by chronic inflammatory conditions or develop idiopathically. Left untreated, trichiasis can lead to recurrent corneal abrasions, opacities, vascularization, and non-healing ulcers. Treatment involves epilation, electrolysis or cryoepilation to remove misdirected eyelashes.
Eyelid infections ppt
1. The document discusses various eyelid infections, tumors, and deformities. It defines eyelid infections as any abnormal condition affecting the eyelids and describes common infections like blepharitis, hordeolum, and chalazion.
2. The document also covers different types of eyelid tumors, separating them into benign tumors like nevus, hemangioma, and papilloma, and malignant tumors like squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma.
3. Eyelid deformities discussed include entropion, ectropion, trichiasis, and ptosis. Causes, signs, and treatments are provided for each condition.
Noninfectious keratitis barnaclinic
This document discusses different types of noninfectious keratitis, including recurrent erosion syndrome, filamentary keratitis, Thygeson's superficial punctate keratitis, and neurotrophic keratitis. Recurrent erosion syndrome involves repeated breakdown of the corneal epithelium and is associated with trauma, corneal dystrophy, or abnormal attachment complexes. Filamentary keratitis features filaments of degenerated epithelial cells firmly attached to the cornea. Thygeson's keratitis presents as chronic, bilateral punctate epithelial keratitis of unknown cause. Neurotrophic keratitis results from impaired corneal healing due to denervation and involves decreased tearing and blinking. Treatment focuses on managing underlying causes and symptoms for each condition.
Blepharitis
Blepharitis is inflammation of the eyelid margin that can be anterior (involving the front of the eyelid) or posterior (involving the glands of the eyelid). Anterior blepharitis includes bacterial, seborrheic, and parasitic types. Bacterial blepharitis is common and caused by staphylococci and streptococci, causing chronic irritation, crusting, and redness. Treatment involves lid hygiene, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory drugs. Seborrheic blepharitis is associated with dandruff and treated with lid cleaning and antibiotic/steroid ointment. Parasitic blepharitis involves lice inf
DISORDERS OF THE LACRIMAL SYSTEM
The document discusses various disorders of the lacrimal system including dry eye, epiphora, and lacrimal drainage system obstruction. It describes the signs and symptoms, causes, and treatment approaches for different conditions like keratoconjunctivitis sicca, mucin deficiency, oily layer abnormalities, and lacrimal gland inflammation and tumors. It also covers episcleritis, scleritis, and posterior scleritis providing classifications, associated systemic diseases, investigations and treatments.
importance of eye health
The document discusses the importance of eye care and vision screenings. It notes that many common eye conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration are more likely to cause vision impairment if left untreated. Age is also a major risk factor, as several aspects of vision and eye health decline with age, such as pupil size and responsiveness to light. Regular eye exams are important for detecting issues early and maintaining eye health.

Eye Care Tips
Why Eye check is important?
(Just close your eyes for a minute, we cant imagine living in darkness) That itself make us aware how important vision is !
7 reasons to check your vision;
Early detection of onset of disease.
Disease related complications can be avoided.
Silent Killers of vision like Glaucoma & Diabetic
Retinopathy can be detected & controlled.
Fluctuations in the power can be detected.
Working continuously in front of Computer can cause Computer Vision Syndrome & Dry eye.
So early detection can reduce the complications.
It is recommended to have eye check once in atleast 6 months.
Ppt eye care.
This document discusses eye care for critically ill patients in the ICU. It notes that the eyes can provide important diagnostic clues for underlying diseases and that ICU patients are at risk for various eye complications due to factors like altered blinking reflexes and eyelid closure. It recommends that ICUs assess patients' ability to close eyelids daily and monitor for eye issues weekly. Eye care including cleaning and lubrication every 2 hours is advised for patients unable to close eyes independently. Maintaining eyelid closure or using mechanical methods if needed is also recommended. The use of polyethylene covers is cited as more effective than ointments at preventing corneal abrasions.
Eye power point
The human eyes, or globes, are located in the skull. They weigh 28 grams and are one of the five senses. The eyes are the most complex organ except for the brain and rely on the optic nerve and brain to see. The eyes contain muscles, tear ducts that produce tears to protect and moisten the eyes, and a colored iris inside a ball of white jelly. Without eyes, people would not be able to see anything at all and would miss over 85% of their knowledge from vision.

Diabetic retinopathy for medical student
This document discusses diabetic retinopathy and its management. It notes that diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of blindness and consists of complications like macular edema, cataracts, and proliferative retinopathy. Proliferative retinopathy involves the growth of weak, abnormal blood vessels in the retina. Risk factors include the duration of diabetes and poor blood sugar control. Treatment involves good blood sugar control, laser therapy to destroy abnormal blood vessels or reduce macular edema, and anti-VEGF drugs to inhibit vascular growth. Vitrectomy may also be used to treat severe complications like retinal detachment. Regular eye exams are important for early detection and treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
Lacrimal system disorders
This document discusses various diseases and conditions of the eyelids, lacrimal system, and orbit. It covers eyelid malpositions like entropion, ectropion, ptosis, and lagophthalmos.

Trachoma of human eye for certificate nurses
Trachoma is a contagious eye disease caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis that can lead to blindness. It spreads through direct contact with eye or nose secretions from infected individuals or indirect contact via fomites. Repeated infections cause scarring of the inner eyelid and distortion of the eyelashes which can scrape the cornea. The SAFE strategy aims to eliminate trachoma through surgery, antibiotics, facial cleanliness, and environmental improvements.

Editor's Notes
- What do you see in the picture on the left? The blood vessels on the white of the eye are dilated. The cornea looks slightly hazy and you will notice that the light shining on the cornea does not have a sharp edge as with a light reflex on a normal cornea. The pupil, which is semi-dilated, is grey-white in colour. This patient has had acute glaucoma - the pressure inside the eye has increased - in this case due to an enlarged cataractous lens which should have had surgical removal. The aqueous fluid is unable to escape out of the eye through the trabecular meshwork at the angle of the anterior chamber. The consequence is raised intraocular pressure. The patient will have had ocular pain and headache, often with nausea. Vision is often severely reduced, and in the picture shown the eye has become blind with no perception of light - described as absolute glaucoma. The diagnosis in cases where the pressure is very high can sometimes be confirmed by the fingers' test. Place the tip of each index finger on the outside of the upper eyelid with the patient looking down. Press gently with each finger in turn and sense the resistance given by the eyeball. It may be quite hard, even like a stone. Compare with the other eye which, if normal, will be softer. A more accurate method of measuring the intraocular pressure is with the Schiotz tonometer - shown in the picture on the right. This method requires local anaesthetic eye drops and careful antiseptic technique. The patient lies comfortably on his back. After anaesthesia of the cornea is achieved with anaesthetic eye drops, the clean footplate of the vertically placed Schiotz tonometer is rested on the cornea of each eye. The lower end of the plunger of the tonometer indents the cornea. The resistance to indentation is indicated by the position of the pointer against the scale. A calibration card is supplied with the Schiotz tonometer and the scale reading is converted into the intraocular pressure measured in millimetres of mercury. There are different types of glaucoma, but the acute form is an emergency. The patient should be referred to the eye specialist immediately. In another common type of glaucoma (open angle glaucoma) the increased pressure in the eye or eyes may not always be very high and may occur without pain or headache. Raised intraocular pressure can slowly damage the optic nerve at the back of the eye, and cause cupping of the optic nerve head which can be seen with the ophthalmoscope.
