Toxic Keratopathy Following the Use of Alcohol-Containing Antiseptics in Nonocular Surgery Research Brief Report Toxic Keratopathy Following the Use of Alcohol-Containing Antiseptics in Nonocular Surgery Hsin-Yu Liu, MD; Po-Ting Yeh, MD; Kuan-Ting Kuo, MD; Jen-Yu Huang, MD; Chang-Ping Lin, MD; Yu-Chih Hou, MD IMPORTANCE Corneal abrasion is the most common ocular complication associated with nonocular surgery, but toxic keratopathy is rare. OBSERVATION Three patients developed severe toxic keratopathy after orofacial surgery on the left side with general anesthesia. All patients underwent surgery in the right lateral tilt position with ocular protection but reported irritation and redness in their right eyes after the operation. Alcohol-containing antiseptic solutions were used for presurgical preparation. Ophthalmic examination showed decreased visual acuity ranging from 20/100 to 20/400, corneal edema and opacity, anterior chamber reaction, or stromal neovascularization in the patients’ right eyes. Confocal microscopy showed moderate to severe loss of corneal endothelial cells in all patients. Despite prompt treatment with topical corticosteroids, these Author Affiliations: Department of Ophthalmology, National Taiwan 3 patients eventually required cataract surgery, endothelial keratoplasty, or penetrating University Hospital, College of keratoplasty, respectively.

Findings: Right corneal edema and opacity, associated with the use of alcohol-containing antiseptic solutions, were observed despite ocular protection in 3 patients in whom left-sided orofacial surgery was performed under general anesthesia in the right lateral tilt position.

Despite complete reepithelialization after topical 20% autologous se- rum use every 2 hours for 2 months, vision improved only slightly because of residual corneal opacity, edema, and cata- ract. Therefore, penetrating keratoplasty and cataract sur- gery were performed on the right eye 2 years after the initial presentation.

Given the complexity of the eye, ocular tissues are finely organized and orchestrated. In the last few years, many in vitro models have been developed in order to meet the 3Rs principle (Replacement, Reduction and Refinement) for eye toxicity testing. This procedure is highly necessary to ensure that the risks associated with ophthalmic products meet appropriate safety criteria. In vitro preclinical testing is now a well-established practice of significant importance for evaluating the efficacy and safety of cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical products. Along with in vitro testing, also computational procedures, herein described, for evaluating the pharmacological profile of potential ocular drug candidates including their toxicity, are in rapid expansion. In this review, the ocular cell types and functionality are described, providing an overview about the scientific challenge for the development of three-dimensional (3D) in vitro models.

  • ANTERIOR CORNEAL MOSAIC*T by A
    Br J Ophthalmol: first published as 10.1136/bjo.52.9.659 on 1 September 1968. Downloaded from Brit. J. Ophthal. (1968) 52, 659 ANTERIOR CORNEAL MOSAIC*t BY A. J. BRON Moorfields Eye Hospital, City Road Branch, London THE corneal anatomy has received intensive study in recent years, but an aspect of its structure which is readily observed clinically has received little attention in the literature. In all normal corneae, after the instillation of fluorescein into the conjunctival sac, a striking mosaic pattern may be observed on the surface of the corneal epithelium after massage of the cornea through the lids. This pattern will be referred to as the anterior corneal mosaic. It was first observed by the author in patients whose eyes had been padded for corneal disease. It was noted in some that a mosaic pattern appeared after the instilla- tion of fluorescein. This pattern disappeared in a short period of time, but could readily be re-induced by pressure on the cornea through the lids. It is the purpose of this paper to describe the characteristics of the anterior corneal mosaic and to discuss its significance. This pattern was studied by Fischer (1928), and has since been re-studied by Schweitzer (1967). Methods Induction of the Mosaic A drop of 2 per cent. fluorescein is instilled into the conjunctival sac and the cornea is viewed with the cobalt beam of the slit lamp. If necessary the fluorescein is diluted to produce a bright fluorescence. A thumb is placed on the upper lid of the eye under examination and with the eye in the straight-ahead position, the lid is moved up and down over the cornea with light or moderate pressure applied to the globe.

Oluleye Department of Ophthalmology, University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria Reprint requests to: A. O. Ashaye, Department of Ophthalmology, University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria Abstract Background: The prevalence and causes of corneal blindness vary from one region of the world to another. There is even variation within the developing countries of Africa. Method: A retrospective review of 675 patients with corneal scarring out of the 3,753 new patients corneal scarring in patients attending the eye clinic of the University College Hospital (UCH) Ibadan over a 5year period. Results: Subjects in age groups 0 to 10years and 21 to 30years were mostly affected. Males were more affected with a ratio of 3:1. Most presentations were in the months of January to March and July to September. Almost half (48.99%) of the patients had uniocular blindness and no case of bilateral blindness from corneal opacity was found. The main causes of corneal opacity were trauma (51.1%) and microbial keratitis (26.70%) both of which are avoidable causes of blindness. No case of trachomatous corneal scarring was found in the group studied. Conclusion: Key words: Cornea, opacity, blindness Introduction opacity in the south western part of Nigeria.
