  • CAUSES, COMPLICATIONS &TREATMENT of A“RED EYE”
    CAUSES, COMPLICATIONS & TREATMENT of a “RED EYE” 8 Most cases of “red eye” seen in general practice are likely to be conjunctivitis or a superficial corneal injury, however, red eye can also indicate a serious eye condition such as acute angle glaucoma, iritis, keratitis or scleritis. Features such as significant pain, photophobia, reduced visual acuity and a unilateral presentation are “red flags” that a sight-threatening condition may be present. In the absence of specialised eye examination equipment, such as a slit lamp, General Practitioners must rely on identifying these key features to know which patients require referral to an Ophthalmologist for further assessment. Is it conjunctivitis or is it something more Iritis is also known as anterior uveitis; posterior uveitis is serious? inflammation of the choroid (choroiditis). Complications include glaucoma, cataract and macular oedema. The most likely cause of a red eye in patients who present to 4. Scleritis is inflammation of the sclera.

It also encompasses surgery first performed centuries ago, such as rudimentary pterygium excision, to the latest in keratorefractive surgery. CATARACT EXTRACTION AND INTRAOCULAR LENS IMPLANTATION The many reasons for the development of cataracts are discussed in detail in Chapter 8. Most cataracts are acquired, but they can also be congenital. This section focuses primarily on the treatment of acquired cataracts in adults. Cataracts in adults are generally age related, but some lens opacities may result from other causes such as trauma, inflammation, systemic illness such as diabetes, or medications such as corticosteroids. Cataracts generally advance slowly over years but can advance rapidly over months, or even faster in some patients. The primary indication for cataract extraction is diminished vision caused by the cataract, significantly affecting the patient's lifestyle. The exact point at which this hardship occurs depends on the patient. Certain patients require little visual function and may delay cataract surgery for years or indefinitely. Other patients with high visual needs seek cataract surgery with much smaller degrees of visual loss.
