2. HISTORY OF PRESENTING ILLNESS
• Mr B 53 years old,OA, male , presented on 01/5/2023 with complains of
alleged ?stone hit LE while cutting grass at home on 30/4/2023 about 3pm.
Patient did not wear protective eye wear.
• Post trauma sustained :
-left eye blurring of vision
-left eye redness
-left eye pain
• Did not seek treatment then as was tolerable and did not think much of it.
• Following day (Post trauma Day 1), condition deteriorated with worsening of
pain and swelling as loss of vision.
• Delayed seeking treatment due to logistic issues
3. • Otherwise
- No metamorphosia
- No scotoma
- No floaters
- No flashes of lights
- No excessive tearing
- No pain with eye movement
- No vomiting
4. Past medical history: No known medical illness

9. • Explained to patient that poor visual prognosis as delayed treatment
with presenting vision of NPL with RAPD.
• Role of surgery for now is primary closure and for proper examination
under role of surgery for now is primary closure and for proper
examination under anesthesia as well for intravitreal tapping and
antibiotics to avoid further spread of infection and not to return
vision.
• Need for radioimaging tro IOFB as well as may dictate need for
further vitreo- retinal surgery.

24. Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology (BETT)
• Internationally
standardized system
that allows accurate
description of eye
injuries of all types
25. Ocular Trauma Classification Group
• Used to predict the visual outcome of patients after open-globe ocular trauma.
• The score's predictive value is used to counsel patients and to manage their
expectations.
• It provides guidance for the clinician before pursuing complex interventions,
particularly in resource-limited settings.
• OTS scores range from 1 (most severe injury and worst prognosis at 6 months
follow-up) to 5 (least severe injury and least poor prognosis at 6 months)
28. Endophthalmitis
• Purulent inflammation of the intraocular fluids (vitreous and aqueous)
usually due to infection.
• Types:
Exogenous
- Acute Postoperative
- Chronic Postoperative
- Traumatic
- Filtering Bleb-Associated
- After Intravitreal Injections
- Corneal ulcer
Endogenous
- Bacterial or fungal endogenous chorioretinitis +/- vitritis
29. Presentation
• Symptoms including a red, painful eye with photophobia,
floaters, or reduced vision.
• Signs : hypopyon, hazy cornea, visions light perception only
30. Ocular Examination
• Reduced visual acuity, lid swelling, conjunctival injection and chemosis,
corneal edema, hypopyon, anterior chamber cells, and vitritis.
31. Treatment
• As soon as endophthalmitis is suspected.
• Prompt intravitreal antibiotic administration, combined with
hospitalization, infectious disease consultation, and intravenous
antibiotics.
• Avoid corticosteroids when fungal infection is suspected.
32. Evisceretion
• All intraocular contents are removed, while preserving the remaining
scleral shell, extra ocular muscle attachments, and surrounding
orbital adnexa.
• It often includes placement of an implant into the evisceretion cavity
to maintain appropriate orbital volume.
• Indications:
- Endophthalmitis
- Penetrating ocular trauma
- Blind and painful eye
33. Evisceretion
• Contraindications:
- Known or suspected intra ocular malignancy
- Phthsis bulbi and micropthalmia (relative)
• Advantages:
- Shorter operative time
- Less complex surgery
- More cost efficient
- Less distruption of orbital tissues
- Improved motility
- Less painful
34. Surgical procedures of Evisceretion
1. Careful pre operative evaluation – ensure there is no intraocular
malignancy.
2. Correct side.
3. Under GA.
4. Retrobulbar with epinephrine – reduce intra operative bleeding
and postoperative pain.
5. Draped in a sterile manner, and an eyelid speculum applied.
6. S/C LA – demarcate available conjunctiva and Tenon’s capsule and
aid in hemostasis.
7. 360 degree conjunctiva peritomy – made at the limbus.
35. 8. Use Wescott scissors to undermine the conjunctiva and Tenon’s capsule in
a careful anterior dissection.
9. A full thickness incision is then made at the limbus – using scissor – excise
the cornea in circumferential manner.
10. Remove all intraocular contents – uveal tract, crystalline lens, vitreous
humor and retina
11. Techniques – spoon, spatula and suction.
12. This contents are sent for histopatologic identifications and examination
13. Hemostasis of the nerve and vortex veins may be achieved with cautery
and direct pressure.
14. Absolute of 70% alcohol may then be instilled to denature and remove all
remaining uveal material and microorganisme from the scleral shell.
15. The surgeon evaluates and chooses the best implant size to restore the
orbital volume while ensuring appropriate position.
36. 16. Implant material – spherical implant choices of acrylic, PMMA,
silicone and hydroxyapatite.
17. The implant may be placed directly into the scleral shell or may be
first wrapped in donor sclera, mesh or other materials.
18. Some prefer secondary implant later.
19. The anterior sclera, Tenon’s capsule and conjunctiva is then
carefully closed in a layered approach before placement of a
conformer.
20. A temporary tarsorrhaphy may be performed to help the conformer
remain in place.
