How Do I Manage Corneal and Conjunctival Foreign Bodies?

Conjunctival and corneal foreign bodies are fairly common causes of ocular complaints. Most of the time they are easily treated by the primary care physician, but care must be taken not to miss a more serious injury that could lead to serious complications and even loss of sight. Diagnosing either of these conditions is more difficult in children because you may have a nonverbal or uncooperative historian. Often you will be faced with a child who won’t voluntarily open the eye and has tearing and light sensitivity. The application of a topical anesthetic drop as described next will go a long way in allowing you to perform an examination because, as pain relief may be instantaneous. Always be suspicious of a foreign body or corneal abrasion when faced with a patient with one eye that is painful and inflamed while the other eye is without symptoms.

A Modified Extracapsular Cataract Extraction for Pediatric Cataracts

Ophthalmic surgery, lasers & imaging retina · 1990-06-01 · 6 citations

We present a modified procedure of extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) with a small central posterior capsulectomy for pediatric cataracts that is designed to eliminate posterior capsule opacification and to keep open the option of later secondary implantation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens. Of 76 study eyes in which the procedure was performed only three developed posterior capsule opacification. All seven control eyes that had standard ECCE with the posterior capsule left intact developed secondary membranes shortly after surgery.

Corneal topography and photokeratoscopy.

PubMed · 1990-04-05

A keratometer measures the radius of curvature of the two principal meridians that correspond to the steepest and flattest meridians, by projecting an illuminated circle onto the corneal surface from a fixed distance. A photokeratoscope allows a permanent record to be made and further evaluated. It takes a picture primarily of the intermediate zone of the cornea. By measuring the distance between reflected rings and comparing them to the actual distance between the rings on the instrument, the curvature of the cornea can be ascertained at any given point.

Control of intraocular pressure in glaucomatous eyes after extracapsular cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation

Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery · 1988-11-01 · 38 citations

Two hundred sixty eyes of 195 patients having extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) with insertion of a posterior chamber intraocular lens were studied retrospectively. Of these cases, 160 eyes had preexisting glaucoma while 100 had no ocular pathology except for cataract. Intraocular pressure decreased significantly after ECCE in both groups and slowly returned to baseline within two years. The average postoperative visual acuity was better in the control group than in the glaucoma group. Patients with glaucoma were controlled with less medication after surgery. We believe that ECCE with insertion of a posterior chamber intraocular lens can be safely performed in glaucoma patients and has a beneficial effect on the control of glaucoma.
