  • Low Level Light Therapy for the Treatment of Recalcitrant Chalazia: a Sample Case Summary
    Clinical Ophthalmology Dovepress open access to scientific and medical research Open Access Full Text Article ORIGINAL RESEARCH Low level light therapy for the treatment of recalcitrant chalazia: a sample case summary This article was published in the following Dove Press journal: Clinical Ophthalmology Karl Stonecipher1 Purpose: To evaluate the effects of low-level light therapy (LLLT) on the resolution of Richard Potvin 2 recalcitrant chalazia. Patients and Methods: This was a single-site retrospective chart review of patients with 1Physicians Protocol, Greensboro, NC, USA; 2Science in Vision, Akron, NY, USA chalazia, all of whom were unresponsive to previous pharmaceutical therapy or surgical intervention, who received a 15 min LLLT treatment in conjunction with a standard phar- maceutical regimen. A second treatment was applied 24 hrs to as late as 2 months if there was no evidence of progression of resolution in appearance. Results: A total of 26 eyes of 22 patients with relevant history and treatment were reviewed, all with a history of prior pharmaceutical treatment for their chalazia. After a single 15 min LLLT treatment, followed by a standard pharmaceutical regimen, 46% of eyes (12/26) showed resolution of their chalazia. Resolution was noted from 3 days to one-month post- treatment. With a second treatment, the chalazia resolved in 92% of eyes (24/26). Only two For personal use only. eyes of the 26 (8%) required incision and curettage after LLLT treatment. Conclusion: The use of LLLT for the treatment of recalcitrant chalazia appears to be beneficial in patients who have failed topical and/or systemic therapy, significantly reducing the likelihood of requiring surgical intervention.

Results: Five patients of ocular trauma were studied & managed. All five patients were males. Out of 5 cases, 3 cases had open globe injury and 2 cases had closed globe injury. Three out of five patients required surgical intervention while 2 patients were managed with medical therapy. Conclusion: This study describes the types and characteristics of ocular trauma presenting in eye department. The frequency of ocular trauma is common in males. Eye injuries resulting from ocular trauma pose a frequent threat to vision the world over. While afocussed history and prompt ocular examination are essential to immediate management, patient educationregarding safety precautions and risk reduction help to prevent future recurrences.

  • Optic Disc Drusen in Differential Diagnosis of Optic Neuritis Optik Nörit Ayrıcı Tanısında Optik Disk Druzeni
    DO I:10.4274/tnd.56514 Images in Clinical Neurology Optic Disc Drusen in Differential Diagnosis of Optic Neuritis Optik Nörit Ayrıcı Tanısında Optik Disk Druzeni Erkingül Shugaiv1, Elif Aksoy Güzeller2, Sait Alim2 1Tokat State Hospital, Clinic of Neurology, Tokat, Turkey 2Tokat State Hospital, Clinic of Diases Eye, Tokat, Turkey Optic disc drusen is a condition where a hyaline-like calcific object is accumulated on the optical nerve ending, often bilaterally (1). Its prevalence in the general population is 0.34-3.7%. It can be confused with optic papillitis since it blurs the papillary border at the bottom of the eye. Drusens can be seen as opacity in B-scan ultrasonography and computerized tomography (2). Optic disc drusens present with slowly progressing visual field defects. The 21-year-old patient who complained of blurry vision on both eyes did not have a history of disease. Her vision was blurry for the past 10 days, especially on the left side. There was no history of eyeball pain, headache, infection or trauma. Her vision was 0.2 on the right and 0.1 on the left side. The papillary borders were undefined on both sides in the examination of the base of Figure 1. Optic disc drusen on both sides: Discs are protruded due the eyes (Figure 1). Due to the slow clinical decline over 10 days, to the drusen and their borders are not clearly defined. cranial and spinal magnetic resonance imaging was conducted in order to address any possible demyelinating disease but did not produce any remarkable findings. After this, cranial and orbital tomography was conducted with the pre-diagnosis of optic disc drusen.

  • Understanding Corneal Blindness
    Understanding Corneal Blindness The cornea copes very well with minor injuries or abrasions. If the highly sensitive cornea is scratched, healthy cells slide over quickly and patch the injury before infection occurs and vision is affected. If the scratch penetrates the cornea more deeply, however, the healing process will take longer, at times resulting in greater pain, blurred vision, tearing, redness, and extreme sensitivity to light. These symptoms require professional treatment. Deeper scratches can also cause corneal scarring, resulting in a haze on the cornea that can greatly impair vision. In this case, a corneal transplant may be needed. Corneal Diseases and Disorders that May Require a Transplant Corneal Infections. Sometimes the cornea is damaged after a foreign object has penetrated the tissue, such as from a poke in the eye. At other times, bacteria or fungi from a contaminated contact lens can pass into the cornea. Situations like these can cause painful inflammation and corneal infections called keratitis. These infections can reduce visual clarity, produce corneal discharges, and perhaps erode the cornea. Corneal infections can also lead to corneal scarring, which can impair vision and may require a corneal transplant. Fuchs' Dystrophy. Fuchs' Dystrophy occurs when endothelial cells gradually deteriorate without any apparent reason. As more endothelial cells are lost over the years, the endothelium becomes less efficient at pumping water out of the stroma (the middle layers of the cornea). This causes the cornea to swell and distort vision. Eventually, the epithelium also takes on water, resulting in pain and severe visual impairment. Epithelial swelling damages vision by changing the cornea's normal curvature, and causing a sightimpairing haze to appear in the tissue.

The condition is described here because of its unusual appearance and because of its appar- ent uniqueness in the literature. Case reports (i) A 59-year-old Caucasian male presented at the casualty department complaining of pricking in the right eye. Symptoms were caused by a marginal infiltrate and this resolved on conventional therapy. A recurrence one month later also responded well. Each cornea presented an arcus senilis and, in the zone ofstroma affected by the arcus, an additional opacity could be seen.
