Purpose. To report the use of Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) in a patient with keratoglobus and chronic hydrops. Case Report. We describe a case of a 28-year-old man with bilateral keratoglobus and chronic hydrops in the right eye secondary to spontaneous Descemet membrane tear. The patient presented with finger counting (CF) vision, itching, foreign body sensation, and severe photophobia in the right eye. Peripheral corneal thinning with central corneal protrusion and Descemet mem- brane tear spanning from 4 to 7 o’clock was noted on slit lamp examination. The right eye cornea was 15 mm in the horizontal diam- eter. -

WSPOS Worldwide Webinar 16: Amblyopia - How and When
Answers to Audience Questions - WSPOS Worldwide Webinar 16: Amblyopia - How and When WWW 16 Panellists Anna Horwood Celeste Mansilla David Granet Krista Kelly Lionel Kowal Susan Cotter Yair Morad Anna Horwood (AH), Celeste Mansilla (CM), Krista Kelly (KK), Lionel Kowal (LK), Susan Cotter (SC), Yair Morad (YM) 1. How do you maintain attained iso visual acuity after successful amblyopia treatment? AH: Intermittent monitoring. If they have regressed previously, I might carry on very intermittent occlusion (an hour or two a week) until I was sure it was stable. CM: With gradual and controlled reduction of the treatment, for example: if the patient had 1 hour of patch per day, I leave it with 1 hour 3 times a week during a month. I do a check and if the visual acuity was maintained, I lower patches to 2 times a week. I keep checking and going down like this until I suspend the treatment. If at any time I detect worsening visual acuity, I return to the previous treatment. SC: Best way is attainment of normal binocular vision. I do not worry about ansiometropic amblyopes who have random dot stereopsis post-treatment. If have constant unilateral strabismus, I can do some limited part-time patching, decreasing patching dosage over time given no regression of VA. YM: repeat examination every 6 months. If I see regression, I will prescribe patching for 30 min a day. 2. How do you plan for very dense amblyopes? AH: I very rarely see them because, with screening, they are picked up early and usually do well. -
Infantile Aphakia and Successful Fitting of Pediatric Contact Lenses; a Case Presentation Authors: Virji N, Patel A, Libassi D
Infantile aphakia and successful fitting of pediatric contact lenses; a case presentation Authors: Virji N, Patel A, Libassi D An eleven month old male presents with bilateral aphakia secondary to congenital cataracts. The patient is currently successfully wearing B&L Silsoft Pediatric contact lenses, with good prognosis for vision in both eyes. I. Case History -Patient demographics: African American male, DOB 8/18/2009 -Chief complaint: patient presents with bilateral aphakia secondary to bilateral congenital cataract extraction -Ocular, medical history: S/P CE with anterior vitrectomy OD 09/22/2009, followed by OS 09/29/09. (+) squinting, rubs eyes, light sensitivity -Medications: none -Other salient information: patient has been seen by SUNY Contact Lens clinic since 2 months old, 10/14/2009 II. Pertinent findings -Clinical: Keratometry readings 41.00/41.25 @ 005 OD, 38.50/41.00 @ 046 Axial length, immeasurable Horizontal corneal diameter 8mm OD/OS Fundus exam WNL OU -Others: surgical dates: successful CE OU, September 2009 III. Differential diagnosis -Primary/leading: Idiopathic -Others: Posterior lenticonus, persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous, anterior segment dysgenesis, and posterior pole tumors, trauma, intrauterine infection (rubella), maternal hypoglycemia, trisomy (eg, Down, Edward, and Patau syndromes), myotonic dystrophy, infectious diseases (eg, toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, and herpes simplex [TORCH]), and prematurity. (5) IV. Diagnosis and discussion -Elaborate on the condition: Bilateral infantile cataracts are one of the major treatable causes of visual impairment in children. (2) Hubel and Weisel’s research on the critical period of visual development determined that if infantile cataracts are removed within the critical period and appropriate correction is worn, vision is greatly improved. -

NOTE: F1& F2 doctors are different, the doctor who gave F2 said she is in the exam committee so focus on her notes Amblyopia ● Definition Decrease in visual acuity of one eye without the presence of an organic cause that explains that decrease in visual acuity. He never complaints of anything and his family never noticed any abnormalities ● Incidence The most common cause of visual loss under 20 years of life (2-4% of the general population) ● How? Cortical ignorance of one eye. This will end up having a lazy eye ● binocular vision It is achieved by the use of the two eyes together so that separate and slightly dissimilar images arising in each eye are appreciated as a single image by the process of fusion. It’s importance 1. Stereopsis 2. Larger field If there is no coordination between the two eyes the person will have double vision and confusion so as a compensatory mechanism for double vision the brain will cause suppression. The visual pathway is a plastic system that continues to develop during childhood until around 6-9 years of age. During this time, the wiring between the retina and visual cortex is still developing. Any visual problem during this critical period, such as a refractive error or strabismus can mess up this developmental wiring, resulting in permanent visual loss that can't be fixed by any corrective means when they are older Why fusion may fail ? 1. -

Megalocornea Jeffrey Welder and Thomas a Oetting, MS, MD September 18, 2010
Megalocornea Jeffrey Welder and Thomas A Oetting, MS, MD September 18, 2010 Chief Complaint: Visual disturbance when changing positions. History of Present Illness: A 60-year-old man with a history of simple megalocornea presented to the Iowa City Veterans Administration Healthcare System eye clinic reporting visual disturbance while changing head position for several months. He noticed that his vision worsened with his head bent down. He previously had cataract surgery with an iris-sutured IOL due to the large size of his eye, which did not allow for placement of an anterior chamber intraocular lens (ACIOL) or scleral-fixated lens. Past Medical History: Megalocornea Medications: None Family History: No known history of megalocornea Social History: None contributory Ocular Exam: • Visual Acuity (with correction): • OD 20/100 (cause unknown) • OS 20/20 (with upright head position) • IOP: 18mmHg OD, 17mmHg OS • External Exam: normal OU • Pupils: No anisocoria and no relative afferent pupillary defect • Motility: Full OU. • Slit lamp exam: megalocornea (>13 mm in diameter) and with anterior mosaic dystrophy. Iris-sutured posterior chamber IOLs (PCIOLs), stable OD, but pseudophacodonesis OS with loose inferior suture evident. • Dilated funduscopic exam: Normal OU Clinical Course: The patient’s iris-sutured IOL had become loose (tilted and de-centered) in his large anterior chamber, despite several sutures that had been placed in the past, resulting now in visual disturbance with movement. FDA and IRB approval was obtained to place an Artisan iris-clip IOL (Ophtec®). He was taken to the OR where his existing IOL was removed using Duet forceps and scissors. The Artisan IOL was placed using enclavation iris forceps. -
