Study Notes
Ophthalmic Trauma Evaluation
- Evaluation of trauma patients treated as medico-legal cases
- Important to document all details, both positive and negative, during patient assessment
- This ensures a comprehensive record for potential future legal testimony
- Details of the injury include: date, time, place, method/mechanism
- Past medical history is crucial, including prior ophthalmic surgeries, illnesses, and medications
- Accompanying symptoms (e.g., pain, blurry vision) should be noted
- Type of injury (open/closed, thermal, chemical, etc.) influences management strategy
Closed Globe Injuries
-
Corneal abrasions involve epithelial disruption, causing pain, redness, tearing, and foreign body sensation
-
Treatment includes topical antibiotics (to prevent infection), patching to prevent lid rubbing, and potentially artificial tears
-
Steroid eye drops not always necessary, especially when unsure about the injury cause or potential presence of vegetative material (as this can predispose to fungal infection)
-
Corneal healing typically takes 3-7 days; patching often used to prevent further lid irritation
-
Corneal foreign body (metal/rust) requires removal of the foreign object along with any rust ring; use a gauge 13 needle when removing object
-
Antibiotics are often given for extra precaution
-
Careful removal is crucial to prevent corneal perforation
Subconjunctival Hemorrhage
- Bleeding of conjunctival vessels resulting in a white sclera and reddish conjunctiva
- Treatment involves applying cold compresses for 24-48 hours, followed by warm compresses as the discoloration resolves
- Resolution usually occurs within 2 weeks
- Avoid strenuous activities during this time
Lacerations/Penetrating/Closed Globe Injuries
- Conjunctival lacerations are closed globe injuries, less severe
- Partial thickness (lamellar) corneal lacerations: the posterior stroma and endothelium are intact
- Perforating corneal or scleral lacerations/perforations extend to the retina or uvea
- Treatment includes antibiotics, possibly surgical repair (if severity of laceration merits it)
- If laceration is superficial, no intervention might be needed
- Full assessment of the area and surrounding tissue is critical for proper care
Traumatic Hyphema
- Bleeding within the eye (hyphema)
- High back rest to allow blood settling
- Monitor IOP
- Cornea staining may result and will require corneal transplantation/replacement of the damaged cornea if needed
Important Sequelae
- Ocular hypotony (low eye pressure): can damage the pars plana
- Infection
- Corneal staining (especially with elevated intraocular pressure)
- Corneal scars
- Toxic retinopathy/neuropathy
- Traumatic optic neuropathy (requiring steroids)
- Sympathetic ophthalmia (where the normal eye develops issues due to a damaged eye)
