She was on topical carboxymethylcellulose 1% and moxifloxacin since the last two weeks and was against the advice for evisceration. We used 1% atropine sulphate eyedrops thrice daily for persistent pain of the left eye. Three days after using topical atropine, she developed acute psychomotor agitation, disorientation, confusion and lack of insight with visual hallucination and lowered level of consciousness.

Newly diagnosed, untreated unilateral Acute Anterior Uveitis (AAU) adult cases above 16 years were included in the study. Ethical clearance was obtained from the Institutional Review Committee of Institute of Medicine. Eighty-two unilateral AAU cases (Total 164 eyes including 82 unaffected were analyzed) underwent Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) and corneal topography at presentation and three weeks after treatment.

Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study of all consecutive cases of optical keratoplasty performed between 2011 and 2014 (four-year period) for healed infective keratitis. Cases with less than two months’ followup were excluded during outcome evaluation. Comparison was made between keratoplasty for Microbial and Viral (herpetic) Scar. Results: Ninety-three eyes of 93 patients were enrolled. Fifty-nine (63.4%) were male. Average age of patients was 38.9±19.5 years. Average donor endothelial cell count was 2713±434.5 cells/mm2. Fifty-four (58%) corneal scars were due to microbial keratitis and others were herpetic. Eighty-five (91.4%) had undergone penetrating keratoplasty. Eighty-eight (94.6%) cases were included for outcome analysis. Average follow-up duration was 37±27.5 months. Fifty-two (59%) had clear graft at their last visit. Twenty-three (26.1%) grafts had endothelial failure and 13 (14.7%) grafts failed due to late onset keratitis. Twenty-five (28.4%) had vision of ≥6/18. Rejection occurred in 24(27.2%) and glaucoma in 11(12.5%). Post-operatively viral keratitis in the graft occurred significantly more inViral Scar Group (38.6%, n=15) than in Microbial Scar Group (5.5%, n=3). But there was no significant difference in graft clarity, rejection, vision and secondary glaucoma between the two Groups.

Materials and methods: It is a prospective non randomized interventional study. Children with myopia progression of >0.5D in the last six months with baseline myopia of -1.5 to -8 Diopter and astigmatism of 3 D or less were prescribed 0.01% atropine daily at bedtime for two years.

Case: In this report, we present a case of RMS in 23-year-old male who experienced redness in Right Eye (RE) and intermittent headaches for a duration of 10 years. The patient exhibited a best corrected visual acuity of 6/6 in both eyes. Observations: During slit lamp biomicroscopy, episcleral venous engorgement was observed in both eyes. Tonometry measured 28 mmHg in the RE and 14 mmHg in Left Eye (LE). In fundus photographs of RE and LE, there was evident cup asymmetry, along with retinal nerve fiber layer defects in superotemporal and inferotemporal regions of the right eye. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) Optic Nerve Head with hood report of RE showed loss of double hump pattern with asymmetric and severe retinal nerve fiber layer thinning in superior and inferior quadrant. Visual field testing of RE showed superior and inferior arcuate scotoma. Brain and orbit magnetic resonance angiography (MRI Angiogram) revealed no abnormal voids indicating cavernous fistula or other orbital lesions. The presence of secondary open angle glaucoma with episcleral venous engorgement and negative test results for other potential conditions led to the diagnosis of RMS in the patient. The patient is now under combination therapy with aqueous suppressants and uveoscleral outflow increasing drugs. Conclusion: This case serves as a reminder to ophthalmologists about potential association of glaucoma if there’s enlargement of episcleral vessels in eyes without inflammation.","PeriodicalId":44759,"journal":{"name":"Nepalese Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":"69 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139130751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
