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!
2. Contact Lenses for Children
– Contact lenses have an important role to play in the visual correction of children
and infants.
– They can permit more normal development of VA, and motor and perceptual
skills compared with spectacles especially in cases of high refractive errors.
– Contact lenses offer a 15% wider field of view compared to spectacle lenses.
3. Problems associated with
spectacles
– Absence of prominent nose bridge
– Easily removed, scratched or broken
– Possibility of retinal image size disparity
– Alterations or distortions in the peripheral field of view
4. Pediatric eyes
At birth Age Change
Axial length 17mm Adult 24mm
Corneal
diameter
10mm 1 year 11.6
Corneal radius 7mm 10 years 7.86
11. Potential problems
– Communication with practitioner
- lens tolerance problems
– Levels of motivation
– Contraindications due to systemic or ocular conditions
13. Contact lenses in refractive
errors
Correction of high refractive error is the principal reason for fitting a young child
with contact lenses
The main cause of high refractive error is aphakia, which may be congenital or
traumatic, unilateral or bilateral
14. Contact lenses in refractive errors
– Low to moderate myopia in
the young need not always be
corrected immediately
– Contact lenses are an excellent
option for correcting high
myopia in children, allowing an
increased field of view and in
refractive cases, a more
normal image size than
spectacles
– Moderate to high hyperopic
refractive errors should be
corrected as early as possible
– Contact lenses are often more
readily accepted in hyperopes
due to the reduced
accommodative demand
Contact lenses also reduce the convergence demands in hyperopic patients, making
them the correction of choice for hyperopes with associated accommodative
esotropia
15. Challenges
– The refractive error at the corneal plane of an aphakic eye at age one month can be anywhere
between +19 and +38D
– Average of about +30.75D, which is about 2.5 times greater than that of the average aphakic
adult
– there is rapid growth of the eye during the first 18 months of life
– There is an increase in
i. corneal radius of curvature
ii. corneal diameter
iii. reduction in hyperopia
– Therefore, frequent changes in the contact lens prescription will be required during this
period
16. Astigmatism
– Not corrected when <1 year old
– Prescribe if >1.25 D when child is >1 year
– Prescribe if VA is below normal for age
17. Aphakia
Cataract formation in infants may be due to a wide range of causes including:
– Trauma.
– Systemic disease.
– Maternal illness such as rubella (German measles).
– Exposure to drugs.
– Exposure to radiation.
– Genetic (autosomal dominant).
– Down syndrome.
18. Contact Lens in Aphakic Child
– This forms the largest part of pediatric Contact Lens Practice.
– We all know that favorable prognosis depends on surgical, optical correction
followed by amblyopia therapy.
– CL reduces image size to 8% compared to 33% with glasses.
– The aphakic spectacles are usually around +20 diopters in power, which make
the glasses very heavy and unsightly.
19. – For aphakic eyes, the most rapid decrease in the large hyperopic refractive error occurs in the
first year of life with an average reduction of approximately four dioptres during this period
– Moore showed that for unilateral aphakes who had their congenital cataracts removed in the
first six months, the rate of change per month decreased from
0.43D between one and six months
0.37D between six and 12months
0.30D between 12 and 18 months
0.24 D between 18 and 24 months
less than 0.19 D thereafter.
20.
21. The accepted minimum age of IOL implantation is 1–2 years
For optimum VA to develop, the removal of congenital cataracts should occur before
the age of 3 months, followed by immediate and ‘permanent’
optical correction of the resulting aphakia
22. Indication in Amblyopia
– Occlusion contact lens is very useful for children who resist occlusion over
spectacles with patches or occluder.
– Special contact lens with center opaque pupil and dark iris contact lenses are
very easily acceptable to the parents also.
– One has to over rule the advantage over the risk of infections with the lenses.
– Second problem is that it has been seen that children can manipulate lens off
cornea by rubbing the eyes.
– The major decision has to be from parents, who have to learn lens handling.
23. Cosmetic CL in Children
– Cosmetic reasons to fit lenses in children are
– • To mask opaque corneas
– • Use in severe photophobia
– • Aniridia, albinism, etc.
– • Inoperable cataracts
– • Iris anomalies
– • Traumatic damage to the anterior eye
24. Contact Lens in Nystagmus
– Contact lens moves with visual axis so there are less distortions and prismatic
effects, which will reduce the amplitude of nystagmus and hence better visual
development.
25. Lens Designs and Materials for Children
– • RGP
– • Soft
– • Silicone elastomer.
– • Siloxane hydrogel
26. LENS SELECTION CRITERIA
– • Ability to provide visual correction
– • Easy of fitting and handling
– • Cost
– • Comfort
– • Deposit resistance
– Oxygen transmission
– • Easy of lens replacement (and manufacture)
– • May need to consider certain conditions, e.g.
– keratoconus requires RGPs
– albino eyes require darker therapeutic tints
• Required wearing schedule
27. Silicone Elastomer Lenses
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
High oxygen transmissibility Heavy deposition
and also adherence to the cornea during wear.
They are very durable and can withstand most handling
and cleaning procedures.
They are more expensive than hydrogel or RGP lens.
Easier to handle compared with hydrogel lenses. They also need to be replaced fairly regularly due to eye
growth, refractive changes, and their short lifespan.
Easier to insert, especially in cases of small
palpebral apertures.
Limited parameters are available to the
practitioner for fitting the paediatric patient.
The child cannot easily rub the lenses out of
the eye.
The lenses must be replaced on a regular basis due to
the build-up of deposits and the
reduction in lens wettability.
Less likely to be lost. Lens removal may be difficult
No dehydration of the material occurs during wear
28. Soft Contact Lens
– This lens material has an advantage that it is comfortable. The comfort of the
lens keeps the child quiet and willing.
– Soft lens material in children has the following disadvantages:
• Difficult handling and insertion because they are large in size for their small
palpebral apertures.
• Prone to deposits—like all soft lenses
• Infection risk in extended wear
• Limited parameters are available in soft lenses for pediatric age group. Lathe
cut lenses or custom designs have to be ordered for children.
29. Rigid Gas Permeable Lens
– Rigid lens materials as far as possible should be the lens of choice, due to its basic advantage
of sufficient oxygen transmissibility.
• Easier for parents to handle
• Wide range of parameter available
• Excellent oxygen permeability
• Well tolerated due to moist eye.
– Rigid lens materials in children have following difficulties:
• They are difficult to fit as one needs to align the lens curvatures to the atypical corneas.
• There is initial discomfort, which may discourage the parents and scare the child.
• Since these lenses move freely on the eye there is a possibility of lens dislodgment with
rubbing.
• There may be corneal insult due to rubbing and rough insertion of these lenses.
30. SILOXANE HYDROGELS
• Ability to provide high oxygen transmission much greater than hydrogels
• Easy of handling
• Easy of lens replacement compared with silicone elastomer
• Parameter range is increasing
• Good extended wear capability
31. Fitting Technique
Fitting Under GA
– GA is recommended by some practitioners as it facilitates easy measurements,
but involves risks of GA. Fit assessment is also found to be inaccurate under GA
because:
– • Lid position and forces are different in prone position
– • Lacrimation is absent
– • Decreased IOP which may change corneal shape
– Use it only when it is impossible.
32. STEPS FOR FITTING
– 1.Examine the eye: To rule out that the eye is ready for CL
– 2. Determine parameters for CL: Based on the ocular configurations some
possible selections can be made even if the ocular dimensions are not
measurable.
– A-Select a lens diameter
– • Soft lens—12 to 13 mm
– • RGP lens—9 to 9.5 mm
– • Silicone elastomer—11.3 mm
33. – b. Select a base curve
– • Soft / silicone—one step steeper than the usual adult lens
– • RGP—0.10 to 0.20 mm steeper than usual.
– c. Central thickness: Standard to thick, thin lenses should be avoided.
– d. Lens power: The power of the lens should be ordered about 2- 3 diopters over plus than the
spectacle refraction.
– The starting powers in aphakic according to age are
– usually found to be:
– 6 months = +30
– 1 year = +27
– 2 years = +23
– 3 years = +21
34. Evaluation
– Evaluate the lens fit by checking the position and movement of lens. Wrap the infant properly in the sheet and
hold him comfortable over the bed or mother’s lap. Crying or squeezing will not allow you to assess the fit. Becalm
and try to evaluate with the baby distracted or attracted by parents or relatives.
– In case of Soft and Silicone lens
– Central position
– Movement less than adults
– Lens should not decentre more with blink and push up test.
– In Fitting evaluation RGP lens
– Check position with torch and white light
– Evaluate fluorescein pattern, with direct ophthalmoscope and blue filter
– Prefer lid attachment fit
35. Insertion/removal
– Restraint technique—Hold the child arms above head close to the skull
therefore immobilizing the head and arm movements. The second person holds
the legs together.
– Straddling technique—the baby is swathed in thick blanket from neck
downwards enveloping the rest of the body.
36.
37. – Lens removal is usually a much simpler procedure than insertion. Manipulating
the child’s eyelids to break the ‘suction’ (overcoming the negative pressure
generated under a lens during its removal) and then lifting the lens out with the
aid of the lids is usually all that is required to remove RGP lenses.
– With SCLs, a slight squeeze between the thumb and forefinger is usually all that
is required for removal.
– A hydrogel lens may need to be removed in a manner similar to that of an RGP
lens due to the limited interpalpebral space available.
38. Follow-up
– Children need to be followed up frequently, (monthly, 3 monthly) on every visit
check:
• Compliance
• Over refraction
• Visual acuity—Teller’s or HTOV charts
• Evaluate lens fit changes—this happens often as the cornea and the ocular
dimensions are changing rapidly, especially in early years of life.
– Remember the child’s eye needs sufficient oxygen. The child is active so one has to
fit a lens with more stable position, a lens that is more durable and easy to handle.
