Study Notes
Corneal Ulcers
- Specific treatment of corneal ulcers involves topical antibiotics like fortified Cefazoline, tobramycin, and vancomycin, as well as systemic antibiotics.
Non-Healing Ulcers
- Mechanical debridement, cauterization, and paracentesis are used to treat non-healing ulcers.
Impending Perforation
- Treatment for impending perforation involves addressing corneal opacity and therapeutic interventions.
Resistant Ulcers
- Penetrating and Lamellar Keratoplasty are types of resistant ulcers.
Complications of Treatment
- Early complications of treatment include infection, while late complications include graft rejection.
Keratitis Types
- Dendritic, Trophic, Herpetic, and Disciform keratitis are different types of keratitis, each requiring unique diagnosis and treatment.
Corneal Anatomy and Physiology
- The cornea has specific functions, blood supply, and nerve supply that are essential for its normal functioning.
Congenital Anomalies and Inflammation
- Megalocornea is a congenital anomaly, and keratitis can be classified into different types, including bacterial corneal ulcers.
Neurotrophic Keratopathy
- Causes of neurotrophic keratopathy include impaired corneal sensation, and symptoms and signs include corneal ulceration, perforation, and vision loss, while treatment options involve addressing underlying causes and supportive care.
Keratoconus
- Diagnostic tools for keratoconus include various methods, and potential complications include acute hydrops.
