lagophthalmos• Definition: inability to close the palpebral fissure

• Lagophthalmos lead to exposure keratopathy,

Gonococcal conjunctivitis

Diphtheritic conjunctivitis

Phlyctenular ulcer

Phlycten

Hypersensitivity reaction

PHLYCTENULOSIS

• Predominantly affects children

• Etiology – Tuberculosis – Delayed hypersensitivity reaction to staphylococcal or other bacterial antigen

phlycten

• A phlyctenule (also called phlycten) is a characteristic nodular affection occurring as an allergic response of the conjunctival and corneal epithelium to some endogenous allergens to which they have become sensitized.

PRESENTATION

• Photophobia, lacrimation and blepharospasm.

SIGNS

• Conjunctival: Pinkish-white nodule surrounded by hyperaemia

• Corneal: May resolve spontaneously or extend radially to the cornea. May cause severe ulceration or perforation.

phlycten

Causes:

• Tuberculous protein

• Staphylococcus protein-most common

• Others- Moraxella axenfeld bacillus and certain parasites

• Predisposing factors:

• Age—3-15 yrs

• Under nourished

• Living conditions- over crowded and unhygienic conditions

• Season- more in spring and summer

Fascicular ulcer

• Treatment:

• local-

• -topical steroid-dexamethasone or betamethasone

• -antibiotic drops and ointment

• -atropine 1% eye ointment once daily if cornea is involved

• specific:

Tuberculosis should be excluded by Chest x-ray, mantoux test, ESR and if necessary full dose ATT should be given.

• -Septic focus in the form of tonsillitis, adenoiditis, teeth caries should be treated by antibiotics and necessary surgical interventions.

• -parasitic infestation should be ruled out and treated if necessary.

• General:

high protein diet and Vit. A, C, and D supplementation.

DD Pinguecula

DD,, Pterygium

Degenerative corneal conditions

• Arcus Senilis

Photophthalmia

KERATOCONUS

• Onset at puberty

• Central or paracentral stromal thinning

• Apical protrusion

• Irregular astigmatism

• Autosomal dominant transmission with incomplete penetrance proposed

CLASSIFICATION

• By keratometry: - Mild (< 48 D), - moderate (48-54 D) - severe (> 54 D)

• By morphology: - Nipple cones – Oval cones – Globus cones

Early signs

• Ophthalmoscopy: Oil droplet reflex

• Retinoscopy: Irregular scissor reflex

• Keratometry: Irregular astigmatism (principal meridians no longer 90 degree apart and mires cannot be superimposed)

• Placido disc: Irregular reflected ring

• Slit-lamp: Very fine deep stromal striae (Vogt lines).

LATE SIGNS

• Decreased visual acuity

• Munson sign

• Fleischer ring

• Corneal scarring

• Acute hydrops
