PREFACE / present this book on ‘Practical Ophthalmology' in this beleif that knowl edge of basic clinical Signs and Symptoms Is an essential prerequisite which can meet the
undergraduate and postgraduate students need. The Increasing demand of my previous
book entitled Instruments and Optics In Ophthalmology’ made me to come out with this book. Special emphasis has been laid on clinical examination of eyes which still forms the mainstay of diagnosis of eye disorders. Additional feature is Inclusion of clinical
cases of day to day importance. I hope this comprehensive book on Practical Ophthalmol ogy will create a long lasting Impression In the minds of undergraduate students ophthalmic assistants and optometrists.
My heart felt gratitude to may student who inspired me to bring out this book.
My sincere thanks to our publisher Mr. Sanjay A. Deshpande for immense patience and compliance In framing and printing this book. Acknowledgements to near, dear friends and fraternity those who approved and Inspired me.

Examination Of An Eye Case 9.
2. External Examination of the Eye Examination of anterior segment of eye can be made by three methods.
I. LOCAL OCULAR EXAMINATION II. EXAMINATION IN FOCAL (OBLIQUE) ILLUMINATION
III. EXAMINATION OF RECESS OF ANGLE OF A.C.
LOCAL OCULAR EXAMINATION - In good diffuse torch light (discussed later) .. FOCAL OR OBLIQUE ILLUMINATION - It is done by using the corneal loupe or slit lamp as per given methods.
Methods
a) The patient is seated in a dark room with a light focused about two feet away from the patient and to the side. Concentrate the light on the eye by a strong convex lens. Light can be focused on iris by moving lens close to the eye. Then magnify the spot of light by looking through a corneal loupe (convex lens.) Management of two lenses require little practice. b) In focal Illumination torch light is focused on the required spot
& corneal loupe is directly brought near the spot to look through it. c) S.L.E.- It is done to examine the anterior segment of eye thor oughly and is the best method. Bright illumination and various grades of magnification can be used. . EXAMINATION OF RECESS OF ANGLE OF A.C. is done by Gonloscopy
it Is a method to visualise the recess of the angle of the anterior chamber with the help of a gonloscope and slit lamp. The best used gonioscope Is goldmann 3 mirror.
Other types of Gonioscoples are a) Direct Gonloscope - Koeppes, Barkans, Worst gonioscopes b) Indirect Gonloscope - Goldmann (1, 2 & 3 mirror), Zeis 4 minor. Alien Thorpes.
@Ganesh Agrawal @Ram Padiya @Yash Lohiya 2018 Batch 10.
—-----------------------
Practical Ophthalmology
Normal structures seen through gonioscope from behind'
forward are (1) Anterior surface of Iris (2) Anterior medial surface of ciliary body (3) ftabecular meshwork (4) Schwalbes line
Gonloscopy is helpful In visualising 1) To classify glaucoma and grading the angle of Anterior Chamber:
Grade 0 - wide open : all structures of angle are seen Grade I - Hard to see over iris root and recess of angle Grade II - Ciliary body not seen.
Grade III - Trabecular meshwork not seen Grade IV - Closed angle : only shwalbe line visible
2) Peripheral anterior synechia. 3) Neovascularisation in angle
4) Congenital mesodermal tissue in angle. 5) To do goniotomy with koeppes lens 6) Pigmentation in angle 7) Iridodyalysis
8) Success of trabeculectomy operation I.
LOCAL OCULAR EXAMINATION (EXTERNAL EXAMINATION OF THE EYE IN TORCH LIGHT) - Examination of each eye should be done separately. RIGHT EYE

1) The best, and often the easiest, method is as follows: Stand facing the patient. To ever the left upper lid, place the right thumb on the lower lid near the margin while the pc tient looks up. Then ask the patient to look down so that the upper lid tends to fall over the lower and the surgeon’s thumb. Lay the side of index Finger along the upper lid above the tarsus exerting a steadying pressure upon it downwards. With the patient still looking down an upward rotatory movement of the thumb then everts the lid and as the finger is withdrawn the thumb is rotated to support the everted lid against the orbital margin. W right lid is everted in the same manner, using the left hand.

2) Patient Is asked to look towards his feet. A probe or thin pencil is placed horizontally on the skin of the upper lid at the level of the tarsus. Hold the eye lashes In between the left
Index Finger and thumb, stretch the lid away from the globe, keeping the probe at a fixed point. The lid Is rotated In a vertical direction round the probe, thus everting the lid. The probe Is gently withdrawn.
3) In many cases we have to evert the lid of a patient who Is lying In the bed. In such a case the best method Is that the patient Is asked to look towards his/her feet. The ’‘left index Finger is placed vertically upon the lid. Hold the eye lashes with the right Index
finger and thumb, and rotate the lid around the tip of the left index finger. Method of eversion of upper fornix - 4% xylocaine as local anaesthesia is adminis tered in the eye. Evert the upper lid as done earlier and then insert a lid retractor under the
everted lid into the fornix. In this way the lid is once more everted upon itself and thus we can visualise the upper fornix. A. BULBAR Conjunctiva

c) SURFACE
Normally it is smooth and regular. Surface is seen with
1) Window reflex 2) Placldo’s disc reflex (Keratoscopic disc)
3) Corneal staining (Fluorescein)
@Ganesh Agrawal @Ram Padiya @Yash Lohiya 2018 Batch _______________________________________ Examination Of An Eye Case 2 3.
Method of examination :
1) Window reflex - Ask the patient to face the window. Stand In front and while directing the patient to follow the Index finger which Is moved in all directions, observe carefully the image of the window In the cornea (cor neal reflex). If the surface of the cornea Is normal there will be no distortion of the reflex as It passes over It. If the surface is roughened the Image will be distorted and less clearly defined.
2) Placido’s Keratoscoplc disc - Hold the keratoscopic disc In front of the patients eye. Look through a lens In the centre of the keratoscoplc disc at the patient’s cornea. A sharp well defined image of the keratoscopic disc will be seen in a normal cornea. If there Is any Irregularities of the corneal surface the image of the ring on the corneal surface appears distorted. 3) Corneal staining
(Fluorescein staining) -
I) Superficial staining of cornea and bulbar conjunctiva - A strip of fluorescein is kept in the lower fornix of the eye for few seconds or alternatively a drop of 2% fluorescein sodium is instilled into the eye and patient is asked to close the eye and again open for spread of the stain over the surface of the eyeball. The patient’s eye is examined under slit lamp with blue Filter.
Interpretation Denuded epithelium of cornea (abrasions, ulcer, ero sions) stains brilliant green, while lesion of conjunctiva stain orange-yel low. It is noted that descemets membrane is not stained by fluorescein so that only the sides and margins of very deep ulcer show the stain. Escape of aqueous from perforating wound or fistula can be seen by fluo rescein stain. II) Deep staining of cornea - Fluorescein dye is allowed to remain In the conjunctiva) sac for few minutes by closing the lids so that fluo rescein penetrates the intact epithelium and stains the endothelial de fects if present.
Interpretation Endothelial defects and keratic precipitate are seen as minute green dots. OTHER DYES used are -
Bengal rose - It stains devitalised cells as red colour Acian blue - Stains the mucus selectively
Causes of uneven surface or distorted corneal reflex are i) Corneal abrasions
iv) Corneal facets
II) Corneal ulcers
v) Astigmatism
iii) Old healed opacity
@Ganesh Agrawal @Ram Padiya @Yash Lohiya 2018 Batch
24. Practical Ophthalmology d) CORNEAL TRANSPARENCY - Normally cornea is transparent. Transparency is due to compactness and parallel arrangement of lamillae, avascularity, demylenated nerves and relatively dehydrated cornea.
1) Hazy due to corneal oedema In keratitis, acute congestive glaucoma, Iridocyclitis, acute hydrops in keratoconus. e) CORNEAL OPACITY - At least destruction of Bowman’s membrane (B.M.) is required to form corneal opacity.
Grades of opacity
1) Nebular - B.M. involved
2) Macular - B.M. + Stroma involved 3) Leucoma - B.M. + Stroma+Endothelium
Nebular grade cause more discomfort to vision because it causes irregular refrac tion (treatment is tattooing)
In corneal opacity look for Its -
I) Density
ill) Any pigmentation
ii) Situation and extent in relation to pupil
iv) Adherent leucoma
Causes of corneal opacity 1) Degeneration
3) Inflammations
2) Dystrophy
4) Trauma
f) CORNEAL SENSATIONS
Method of examination - Patient is asked to look straight with both eyes wide open. Then a whisp of cotton is brought close to the patient’s eye from the temporal side and the cornea is touched with it, the blinking reflex of the lids is seen.
Cornea is supplied by ophthalmic division of the 5th nerve. Cornea has no kinesthetic sensations.
Causes behind loss of corneal sensation 1) Herpse simplex
6) Lesion of the 5th nerve
2) Herpes zooster
7) Contact lens wearer
3) Acute congestive glaucoma
8) After corneal surgery
4) Absolute glaucoma
9) Keratomalacia

1) Direct reaction
Well sustained or
2) Consensual reaction
Ill-sustained
3) Reaction to convergence and accommodation (1) Direct reaction to light Is elicited by the following method. Cover one eye of the patient with your palm. Throw torch light on the patient’s uncovered eye and note the constriction of the pupil and look whether the constriction is well maintained. Repeat the procedure for the other eye. Finer movements of pupil can be elicited on the slit lamp. f2J For the Consensual reaction Place a cardboard or hand vertically on the nose inbetween the two eyes so that light will not pass from one eye to the other eye. Now throw light on one eye and note the constriction of pupil of the other eye. Repeat the procedure for the other eye. [Note - light thrown on one eye should not fall on the other eye). Swinging Flash Light TestThrow bright light on one pupil and note its constriction. After two or three seconds immediately transfer the light to the opposite pupil. Repeat the procedure several times by swinging the light to and fro and observe the response of the pupil to which the light is transferred. As the direct and the consensual response have the same magnitude, the pupil to which the light is transferred will remain tightly con stricted because the in-put of both the input from that diseased side will be less than from the normal side. In such cases on transferring the light to the diseased eye its pupil will dilate, and by swinging back to the normal eye the pupil will constrict. Dilatation of pupil of diseased eye (escape) which occurs is because the light is removed from The normal side. This is known as Marcus Gunn pupil (afferent pupillary defect). This may be an early sign of optic nerve disease.
(3) Reaction to convergence and accommodation The patient is asked to look at a distant object. A finger is held six inches away from the patient’s nose and the patient is asked to look suddenly at the finger. Reaction of the pupil is noted when the patient converges his eye towards the finger. Afferent pathway for pupillary reflex is through optic nerve and efferent pathway is through oculomotor nerve.

Examination Of An Eye Case 3 3. 14. Examination of Nasolacrimal Passage (N.L.P) If there Is conjunctival congestion of one eye only then there Is suspicion of sac Infection. Normally, there Is no regurgitation on pressure over sac area. Look for a. ANY REDNESS OR SWELLING OVER SAC AREA b. ANY FISTULA ON SKIN OVER SAC AREA
c. ANY REGURGITATION of watery, mucoid or purulent discharge through the puncta on pressure over sac area. N.L.R PATENCY TEST - Before doing the patency test one should differentiate epiphora from lacrimation by 1) Syringing the lacrimal passage
2) Instillation of coloured fluid in conjunctival sac and demonstrating
3) Probing of the lacrimal passage 4) Radiological examination by injection of radioopaque dye in the N.L.P - It is more informative procedure 5) By radioactive tracer
(1) Syringing the lacrimal passage ; -
Procedure 4% xylocaine Is put on the punctum and In the lower fornix of the eye. The doctor stands on the patient's head side and asks the patient to look towards him. Then evert the lower lid with the thumb and dilate the punctum with punctum dilator. Then fill 5 ml syringe with saline with lacrimal canula attached to it. Insert the tip of lacrimal canula in the punctum' and Into the canaliculus first vertically and then horizontally. Push saline and note the following results. i) If the passage is freely patent, saline appears in the nose at once. (Patient will tell the surgeon that saline has come In his throat) ii) If considerable pressure is required to push the saline and a part of saline appears in the nose while a part of it outflows through the upper punctum then it indicates a par tial block.
iii) After pushing the saline no fluid comes In the nose but it is regurgitated through the upper punctum then there is a complete block below the common canaliculus. The nature of fluid regurgitated (clear, mucoid or purulent) gives indication of infection. iv) Finally if saline introduced returns through the same lower punctum it is a clear indica tion of block in the lower canaliculus. In such a condition, syringing should be repeated from the upper punctum to know the patency of rest of the lacrimal passage.
Causes of epiphora

Raised intra-ocular tension - more than 25mm. Hp. schiotz Hypotony - I.O.T. less than 12.5 mm. Hg. schiotz Method of recording of I.O.T.
a) DIGITAL METHOD b) INSTRUMENTAL METHOD i. Indentation tonometer (Schiotz)
ii. Applanation tonometer
iii. Non-contact tonometer a) Procedure of digital method : The tension may be assessed by fingers, somewhat in an inaccurate manner as follows. The patient is asked to keep looking towards his feet, and, the index Fingers of both hands are placed side by side upon the upper lid above the upper level of the tarsal plate, steadied by other Fingers lightly applied to the brow. One ‘finger is kept quite still, pressing upon the globe through the lid while the globe is indented with the other finger, pressing directly down-wards, meanwhile, attention being con centrated on the impression of fluctuation which is conveyed to the station ary Finger. The normal fluctuation can only be appreciated by practice. When the eye is very hard fluctuation is absent, if very soft the response resembles a waterbag. I.O.T. is then graded as felt normal, felt high or felt low.

___________________________ _________________ Examination Of An Eye Case 39. III. SUBJECTIVE EXAMINATION
A) VISUAL ACUITY It is the power of the eye by which objects are distinguished from each other. It Is also a measure of the smallest retinal image which can be appreciated for Its shape and size.
1) DISTANT VISION : Normal distant vision Is 6/6. It is recorded from a dis tance of 6 metres (20 feet). Why 6 metre (20 feet) distance? Reason - Rays coming from 6 metres or more, are parallel for all practical purposes though they are somewhat divergent i.c. by amount -0.17 degree (negligible), that Is why 6 metre distance is taken for recording distant vision. Examine Vision of * Right eye and left eye separately * Both eyes open
* Right eye with pinhole if V/A is less than 6/6 * Left eye with pinhole if V/A is less than 6/6 * Right eye with spectacles * Left eye with spectacles
* Both eyes with spectacles For illiterate persons Dot chart, E chart. Ring chart (landolt’s chart)
For children below 3 years of age -
Picture chart. Toys V/A is written as Numerator/Denominator
Neumerator is distance of the patient from the chart. Denominator is distance at which person with normal vision can read
OR the distance at which patient should be able to read. (e.g. V/A = 6/24 means that the patient reads from a distance of 6 mfrs. What a normal person can read from a distance of 24 meter OR The patient reads from a distance of 6 metres, what the patient should be able to read from 24 meters)
PROCEDURE OF RECORDING DISTANT VISION A chart known as Snellen’s chart containing snellen’s test types is taken. In this the letters gradually diminish in size from First line to last line. i. The patient is asked to sit or stand at a distance of 6 metres (20 ft.) away from the chart. The patient is then asked to close one eye without pressure. The patient is then asked to read from top line downward. The last line that he reads is recorded as the visual acuity, eg. 1st. line is 6/60, 2nd line is 6/36, 3rd line is 6/24 and so on.

peripheral button hole iridectomy can be done. 2) In Acute congestive stage - Treatment should be instant A) Medical treatment -
a) To lower I.O.T. 1) Pilocarpine 1% to 2% eye drops frequently till the tension returns to normal and the pupil constricts.
In addition Timolol 0.5% eye drops twice daily is
instilled. 2) Tablet Acetazolamide 250 mg. is given orally 3-4 times daily.
3) 20% I.V. Mannitol is given In rapid drip (1-3 gm/ kg. body wt.)

a) If I.O.T. returns to normal with medical line of treatment within 24 to 36 hrs. then wait till the eye becomes quiet
and then do gonioscopy. 1) If a large portion of angle is open and periph
eral anterior synechiae are not extensive then a
peripheral button hole iridectomy at 12 O'clock is done.
2) If peripheral anterior synechiae have formed then trabeculectomy is done.
b) If the I.O.T. is not controlled by medical line within 24 to
36 hrs. then filtering surgical procedure is done.
c) P.B.I. is done in the fellow eye as a prophylactic
measure. 3) In chronic congestive stage - Surgical procedure is only the mode of
treatment. A Filtering surgery is done & a prophylactic PB.I, in the fellow eye.

CHRONIC SIMPLE GLAUCOMA
DEFINITION
It Is a chronic, slowly progressive, usually bilateral disease clinically characterised by raised I.O.R, an open angle, glaucomatc js cup
ping of disc and visual Field loss. CAUSATIVE MECHANISM 1) Sclerotic process in trabecular meshwork or schlemn's canal or collecting chan nels -> drainage is impeded -» raised I.O.R
2) Plenty of uveal pigment in the angle -> blocks pores —> raised I.O.R
3) Vascular sclerosis -> hampers absorption of aqueous, raised I.O.R
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY 1) Due to raised I.O.T. -> atrophy of nerve fibre bundles and ganglion cells, 2) Lamina cribrosa is depressed backwards -> known as cupping of optic disc,
3) Cavernous atrophy of optic nerve, 4) Sclerosis of the trabecular with pigment deposition, 5) In late stage whole uveal tract becomes atrrophic.
CARDINAL FEATURES 1) Raised intraocular tension,
2) Cupping of the optic disc, 3) Typical Field changes,
4) Open angle. CUPPING OF OPTIC DISC
It is due to -
1) Mechanical pressure
2) Ischaemia.
FIELD CHANGES IN CHRONIC SIMPLE GLAUCOMA
1) Enlargement of the angioscotoma,
5) Roenne’s Nasal step,
2) Baring of the blind spot,
6) Only tubular field remains,
3) Sickle shaped scotoma (Seidel's sign)
7) Small path of temporal periphery is retained,
4) Arcuate scotoma (Bjerrum’s scotoma),
8) Blind eye.

TYPE OF EYE
More common in high myopic eyes.
PRESENTING SYMPTOMS
It is a quiet and slowly progressive disease which is usually symptomless. Mild symptoms may be experienced by the patient in the form of -
1) Blurred vision,
5) Frequent change in presbyopic
glasses,
2) Difficulty in reading, 6) Delayed dark adaptation, 3) Eyeache,
7) Increase light minimum.
4) Scotoma,
PAST HISTORY 1) History of any use of drugs locally or systemically,

6) LENS
Pseudoexfollatlon of lens capsule may be seen. Complicated cataract may be seen.
7) FUNDUS EXAMINATION
It Is a very Important examination -
(a) Pallor and cupping of optic disc,
e) Focal notching of the Cup rim,
(b) Horizontal Cup : Disc ratio Is more than 0.4, f) Bayoneting of blood vessels,
(c) Splinter haemorrhages on disc,
g) Thinning of neural rim,
(d) Nasal shifting of blood vessels at the disc,
h) Retinal nerve fibre damage.
8) INTRA OCULAR TENSION Differential tonometry Is more reliable. I.O.T. may or may not be more than 21 mm/Hg. Single reading of the I.O.R is valueless. Hence the patient should be hospitalised and a record of I.O.T. every two hourly should be recorded and a diur nal curve obtained. The amount of variation In the I.O.T. is noted (Diurnal variation). Provocative tests for diagnosis of chronic simple glaucoma are :
a) Water drinking test,
d) Jugular vein compression,
b) Priscol test,
e) Amyl nitrate test,
c) Steroid test,
g) Cafine test.
9) VISUAL FIELDS
Particularly the central field show typical field changes like -
a) Enlargement of angioscotoma, b) Baring of the blind spot, c) Siedel’s sicklescotoma,
d) Bjerrum’s arcuate scotoma, e) Annulars scotoma,
Peripheral fields may show f) Roennes nasal step, (upper or lower nasal sectorial defects),
g) In late stage tubular Field is present, h) In the last stage only a patch of temporal field persists and ends in blindness.
10) OCULAR ASSOCIATIONS
a) High Myopia,
b) Retinal vein occlusion, c) Retinal detachment, d) Fuch’s endothelial dystrophy,
e) Retinitis pigmentosa.

MANAGEMENT OF CHRONIC SIMPLE GLAUCOMA A) INVESTIGATIONS
1) Estimation of I.O.T.,
6) Visual fields (central & peripheral)
2) Gonloscopy
7) Slit lamp examination,
3) Provocative tests,
8) Visual acuity,
4) Facility of aqueous outflow (C ’ Value) - If less than 0.12 it is diagnostic of glaucoma,
9) Fundus examination.
5) Diurnal variation (It is an important test),
B) TREATMENT Principle of treatment is to control the intraocular tension within the normal limits . id thus prevent Field loss. Efforts should be made to control the I.O.T. by medical treat ment. Surgical line of treatment is the last choice of treatment in chronic simple glaucoma.
1) Medical Treatment
With medical line of treatment a proper periodic record of
vision, I.O.T. and Field charting is a must. Drugs used to control I.O.T. are i) Beta-adrenergic blocking agents - Timolol (0.25, 0.5%) eyedrops locally, b.d. or
Betoxolol 0.5% eye drops b.d. ii) Miotics - Pilocarpine 0.5% to 4% eye drops 3 to 4 times a day. iii) Tablet Acetazolamide
- given orally in the dose of 125- 250 mg. QID.
Treatment should be started with Timolol 0.25% eye drops b.d. if I.O.T is not con trolled then 0.5% drops are instilled. If with timolol alone the I.O.P is not controlled then pilocarpine eye drop in various strength is combined with it. If still I.O.P is not controlled then tablet diamox is added to the above treatment. If the combination of the above trio fails to control the I.O.P. then filtering operation is undertaken. Other drugs which can be used locally are Adrenaline 0.5% eye drop, Demecarium bromide 0.25% - 0.5%, Ecothiopate Iodide 0.03% - 0.25% Carbachol. These drugs are not used routinely. 2) Surgical Treatment Drainage of aqueous is facilitated from anterior chamber to the sub-conjunctival tissue with the help of filtering bleb. Various filtration surgeries done are -
a) Trabeculectomy, b) Trabeculocyclostomy,
c) Trephining.

b) Laser Trabeculoplasty.
low-tension glaucoma In this condition the I.O.R is less than 21 mm/hg. but the optic nerve damage and field changes are similar to POAG. In this condition the IOT should be maintained below 12 mm/hg. so as to prevent visual Field changes.
OCULAR HYPERTENSION
It is a condition in which the I.O.R is more than 21 mm/hg. but there are no optic nerve damage or field loss. There is no way to predict whether patients of ocular hyperten sion will develop POAG or not. GLAUCOMA SUSPECT
Definition -
A person suspected of having or who is likely to develop glaucoma.
(Proper evaluation and follow up of patient is required in this condition).
Divided Into 1) With normal I.O.R
a) No optic nerve damage
b) Suspected optic nerve damage
2) With elevated I.O.R
a) No optic nerve damage
b) Suspected optic nerve damage
Conditions Increasing suspicion of glaucoma 1. Optic nerve - Large cup disc ratio, vertical oval cupping, haemorrhages on disc margin.
asymmetry of cup size,
2. Visual fields - Generalised constriction, baring of the blind spot, enlarged blind spot, nerve fiber bundle defects, relative paracentral scotoma.

4. Corneal Ulcer DEFINITION
Breach In the continuity of corneal epithelium due to infection with or with
out involving the other layers of the cornea and thus forming a local raw excavated defect.
ETIOLOGY
1) Exogenous 2) From ocular tissue
Disease of - conjuntiva, sclera, uvealtract.
3) Endogenous From circulation
Allergic in nature PATHO - PHYSIOLOGY
3 Stages -
1) Progressive stage - Localised necrosis of most anterior layer of cornea -> Desquama tion of epithelia and also bowmans membrane -> Saucer shaped ulcer -> Wall of ulcer is raised due to swelling of corneal lamellae -> Floor of ulcer is covered with slough -► surrounding area is packed with leucocyte and other inflammatory cells. (Grey zone of infiltration).
2) Regressive Stage - -> Grey line appears which consist of polymorphs and form sec ond line of defence. -> Leukocytes exert digestive function and dissolves necrotic tis
sue. -> Necrotic material is sloughed off -> cloudiness disappears -> Size of epithe lial defect increases -> Ulcer is shallow with sloping margins -> Transparency improves -> Patient is symptomatically better.
3) Cicatrization Stage - Healing occurs with scar formation -> Ulcer becomes vascularised -> Ulcer crater Fills up with fibrous tissue derived from Fixed corneal cells, mono nuclear cells and endothelial cells. New fibre are laid hapazardly so they cause irregu lar refraction (Bowman membrane is never regenerated). -> Epithelium grows from mar gin of ulcer and covers the cornea -> This laid fibrous tissue causes opacity of cornea
and depending on its density forms 3 grades of opacity known as nebular, macular and leucoma. Nebular opacity in pupillary area interferes more with vision due to irregular refraction of rays.

4) Fluorescein staining of cornea, 5) Slit lamp examination,
6) I.O.T. examination by non-contact tonometer or digitally, 7) Corneal sensation.
@Ganesh Agrawal @Ram Padiya @Yash Lohiya 2018 Batch Clinical Ophthalmic Cases 163. B) SYSTEMIC INVESTIGATION
1) Blood analysis - TIC, DLC, Hb%, E.S.R., MX, MMR, peripheral smear,
2) Blood sugar, 3) ENT check up, 4) Dental Check up,
5) Check up to rule out septic foci in body. II TREATMENT OF CORNEAL ULCER
Treatment of Corneal ulcer may be divided Into following categories A) Treatment of Uncomplicated corneal ulcer,
B) Treatment of Non-healing corneal ulcer,
C) Treatment of Perforated (complicated) corneal ulcer, D) Treatment of Healed corneal ulcer (corneal opacity). A) TREATMENT OF UNCOMPLICATED CORNEAL ULCER
1) Control of infection by appropriate antibiotics,
2) Cleanliness and hygiene of eye,
3) Heat, 4) Rest,
5) Protection to the eye, Other measures include -
6) Removal of causative agent, 7) Releif of symptoms,
8) Specific treatment if any, 9) Supportive treatment 1) Control of infection-A broad spectrum antibiotic is immediately started by a) Local frequent instillation of eye drops in the day and eye ointment at night,
b) Subconjunctival injection is given,
c) Oral or parenteral antibiotic having good ocular penetration is administered,
@Ganesh Agrawal @Ram Padiya @Yash Lohiya 2018 Batch 164. Practical Ophthalmology - In the mean time ulcer scraping and con junctiva) swab is sent for culture and sen sitivity and on getting the report appro priate antibiotic is given.
- Fungal ulcers are treated by local Nystatin eye ointment, Amphotericin B Trlchomycin. -
Viral ulcers are treated with I.D.U. Drops, Acyclovir 3% eye ointment, Trifloridine 1 % eye drops.
- Steriods are contraindicated in infected calomel ulcers. They may be given in cases of allergic and toxic corneal ulcers and herpes zooster but under full cover of antibiotics.
2) Cleanliness and hygiene of eve - Remove the discharge from eye, - Wash the eye with saline or antiseptic boric solution. 3) Heat Irrigation of eye with warm saline -
- Hot compresses.
It helps in Improving circulation of eye & rapid healing. 4) Rest to the eye - By topical application of 1 % Atropine eye ointment.
5) Protection Pad and bondage for rapid healing of ulcer.
6) Removal of Causative factors
if present -
- Do sac excision if sac is infected,
- Remove foreign body if present,
- Epilate eyelash if trachiasis is present, - Remove concretion if present,
- Tarsorraphy in cases of neuroparalytic ulcer.
7) Relief from pain
Analgesics and antiinflammatory
8) Specific treatment if any - Manage the cause like diabe tes, T.B., syphilis, anaemia, malnutrition, vit. A deficiency,
9) Supportive treatment - Multivitamins, high protein diet. Restrain from alcohol and drug addiction.
@Ganesh Agrawal @Ram Padiya @Yash Lohiya 2018 Batch _____ _________________________________ Clinical Ophthalmic Cases 165. B) TREATMENT OF NONHEALING CORNEAL ULCER a) Medical - The routine line of treatment as seen earlier is car
ried out apart from it other measures Include -
1) in cases of impending perforation and descemetocoele then measures to immediately reduce the I.O.T. should be taken by tab, diamox, oral glycerol or osmotic agent. At the same time support to descemetocoele is given by firm pressure and bandage or soft contact lens. b) Surgical
1) Debridement and curratage of corneal ulcer,
2) Cauterization of ulcer, 3) Kerato-Cryo therapy (under trial), 4) Paracentesis, 5) Conjunctival flapping, 6) Therapeutic lamellar keratoplasty, 7) Tarsorrhaphy. C) TREATMENT OF PERFORATED (COMPLICATED) CORNEAL ULCER
Treatment depends on size and site of perforation -
1) If corneal perforation is small and central then prolapse of iris is not feared. T/t given - Rest in bed, - Antibiotic and Atropine 1 % eye oint. locally, - Patient should avoid straining,
- Pressures pad and bandage to the eye. 2) if perforation is small and paracentral or peripheral then adhesion of iris to the cornea usually occurs. Treatment Is same as above.
3) If perforation is larger and prolapse of Iris occurs. - Excise the prolapsed part of Iris (Prolapsed Iris should not be reposited because of danger of intraocular spread of infection), - Rest treatment is same as above.
@Ganesh Agrawal @Ram Padiya @Yash Lohiya 2018 Batch
166, Practical Ophthalmology 4) In Keratocoele - Rest to the eye, - Pressure pad and bandage,
- Conjunctival flapping, keratoplasty, - Rest of the treatment same as above. D) TREATMENT OF HEALED CORNEAL ULCER
1) If corneal opacity Is present then either of the following modali ties of treatment Is preferred according to the site and grade 'of opacity - Dlono resolvent eye ointment may be applied to the eye If opacity Is very superficial, - Tattolng of corneal opacity (now a days usualy not done), - Cosmetic contact lens, - Optical Iridectomy, - Optical keratoplasty.
Vascularised corneal opacity requires peritomy or B-irradition.
2) If Adherent leucoma - is present then combined keratoplasty with synechiotomy is done. 3) Complicated cataract - If there is good PLPR and cataract is associated with corneal opacity then keratoplasty is done followed by cataract extraction at a later stage with I.O.L. implantation or a combined procedures may be done. 4) Corneal Staphyloma is managed by corneal grafting.
5) Secondary glaucoma is managed by Antiglaucoma Surgery (Post inflammatory). CAUSES OF NON - HEALING CORNEAL ULCER

Iridocyclitis Inflammation of Iris and ciliary body is known as Iridocyclitis.
DEFINITION
ETIOLOGY
1) EXOGENOUS :
Organism come from outside as in perforated ulcer or injury usually resulting in suppuration and pan-ophthalmitis.
2) ENDOGENOUS :
Infection is through blood stream, like bacterial, viral, fungal, k protozoal.
3) SECONDARY:
Spread of infection from Cornea, Sclera, Retina.
4) ALLERGIC :
Due to Antigen - Antibody reaction, (Common cause).
5) SYSTEMIC :
(autoimmune/Collagen disorders) - Rhematoid, gout, ankylosing spondylitis, polyarteritis nodusa, S.L.E.
6) UNKNOWN
etiology
: Sympathetic ophthalmitis.
CLASSIFICATION 1) GRANULOMATOUS. 2) NON-GRANULOMATOUS. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
1) Infection - Vasodilatation - Hyperaemia - exudation of cells and plasma - Iris edema - Muddy Iris.
2) Irritation to the nerves and muscles because of toxins - Straightening of radial vessels - Pupillary Constriction. 3) Oedema of Iris - Sphlncture muscle overcomes the dilator - Sluggishly reacting Pupil. 4) Exudate pours out into the aqueous - turbid - cells and proteins- Aqueous flare.
5) Increase Viscosity - Cells block trabecular meshwork - Secondary glaucoma. 6) Endothelial degeneration - Floating cells in aqueous adhere to posterior corneal surface - Keratlc precipitates (Fine K.R and mutton fat K.P).

Is low ered in acute cyclitis. 11) FUNDUS Details of fundus are not clearly seen because all medias are hazy due to Inflammatory reaction. 12) NASOLACRIMAL PASSAGE See for mucopurulent regurgitation. PALPATION
Ciliary tenderness is present.
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF IRIDOCYCLITIS
Iridocyclitis is to be differentiated from 1) Conjunctivitis and
2) Acute congestive glaucoma Because the treatment of iridocyclitis and acute congestive glaucoma is totally op posite. Atropine and topical steroids are contraindicated in glaucoma while It is indicated in cases of Iridocyclitis. So if by mistake atropine ointment and topical steroids are instilled in the eye in case of glaucoma then this wrong treatment will cause irreversible damage to the eye.
MANAGEMENT OF IRIDOCYCLITIS INVESTIGATIONS (1) OCULAR
a) Silt lamp examination - Used to look for corneal edema, K.R's, aqueous flare, hypopyon, hyphema, peripheral anterior synechiae, iris colour pattern and iris adhesions to the lens, iris nodules, pupil and pupillary area, exudates, posterior synechiae, complicated cataract. b) I.O.T. - Whether raised, lowered or normal.
c) Conjunctival swab for culture and sensitivity.
@Ganesh Agrawal @Ram Padiya @Yash Lohiya 2018 Batch Clinical Ophthalmic Cases 175. (2) SYSTEMIC Important investigation are -
a) For Acute anterior Uveitis
- Urine for W.B.C, X-ray joints, E.S.R, C-reactive protein (for rheumatism), - Mantoux, X-ray chest (for sarcoidosis and T.B.), - K.T., V.D.R.L (secondary syphilis), - E.N.T, dental, gynaec checkup for focus of infection, - Blood for TLC, DLC, - Urine for microscopic, culture, albumin, sugar (for Infective focus and D.M.),
-HLA-B27, - Stool - ova, cyst,
- Serum uric acid (gout). b) For chronic anterior uveitis :
- Antinuclear - antibody (still’s disease), - M x. X-ray chest (sarcoidosis, T.B.),
- Skin clipping, M x (leprosy), - Stool for ova, cyst (protozoal and helminthic infection),
- K.T., V DRL (syphilis), - X-ray Sacroiliac (ankylosing spondylitis).
TREATMENT 1. LOCAL TREATMENT a) Atropine 1 % eye drops or ointment 3-4 times a day. By virtue of Its strong mydri atic action atropine prevents the formation of posterior synechia and if synechia have already formed it breaks the synechiae and thus releives pupillary block. By its cycloplegic action atropine gives rest to the inflammed ciliary body and iris. It also increases the blood flow of the tissue and helps in bringing the antibodies. b) Steroid + Antibiotics drops or ointment are used to reduce the antigen - anti body reaction and control of Infection by antibiotics.
c) Local hot fomentation is done to releive the pain. d) Dark glasses to prevent photophobia and reduce lacrimation.
e) Injection subconjunctival steroids + antibiotic may be given in severe cases. f) Flurbiprofen eye drops 2 hly. then q.i.d.
@Ganesh Agrawal @Ram Padiya @Yash Lohiya 2018 Batch
1 76. Practical Ophthalmology
2. SUPPRESSIVE TREATMENT
Oral/Parenteral administration of large doses of steroids is given under cover of an tibiotics in autoimmune disorder or allergic disorders (40-80 mg. of prednisolone may be given in tapering doses along with antacids). 3. SPECIFIC TREATMENT Broad spectrum antibiotic is given for control of infection. Desensitisation may be done In allergic condition. Specific chemotherapy in cases of T.B., syphilis, gonorrhea, lep rosy, etc. is given.
4. RELIEF OF PAIN AND INFLAMMATION By use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, phenyl butazone, as pirin etc. They are given alongwith antacids after meals. They are not given alongwith ste roids.
5. MANAGEMENT OF RAISED I.O.T Is done by tablet acetazolamide, I.V. mannitol, oral glycerol, timolol eye drops, or if necessary by paracentesis (in hypertensive uveitis). COMPLICATIONS OF IRIDOCYCLITIS
1) Annular ring synechiae, 2) Secondary glaucoma,
3) Endophthalmitis, Panophthalmitis, 4) Complicated cataract, 5) Macular oedema, 6) Exudative retinal detachment, 7) Optic neuritis,

9. Pterygium PTERYGIA
It Is a Greek word which means a ‘Wing’.
DEFINITION
It Is a degenerative condition of sub-conjunctival tissue which proliferates as vascularised granulation tissue to invade the cornea.
ETIOLOGY
Exact etiology Is not known but there are definite predisposing factors like 1) Exposure to heat, dust, fumes, 2) Exposure to sunlight (u.v. rays), 3) Decreased lacrimal secretion.
TYPES
Two types -
1) True Pterygium TRUE PTERYGIUM
2) Pseudopterygium
PSEUDOPTERYGIUM
1) It is a degenerative and hyperplasic process in which the conjunctiva actively invades the cornea
1) It is the result of inflammatory process, a fold of inflamed conjunctiva becomes adherent to a progressive ulcer near the comeal margin and being passively dragged across the cornea
2) True Pterygium Is incorporated with the corneal tissue throughout its extent, being most firmly Fixed at Its apex
2) It is adherent only at its apex, forming a bridge over the limbus along which a probe can be passed
3) It occurs only medially and laterally in the palpebral aperture
3) It can occur at any part of the corneal margin
4) Progressive
4) Stationary
INCIDENCE SEX INCIDENCE
HEREDITY
Found commonly in sunny, hot, dusty regions.
Male : Female ratio Is 2:1 because of outdoor activities in male. Dominant Inheritance.

Clinical Ophthalmic Cases 185.
VARIOUS THEORIES OF CAUSE OF PTERYGIUM 1) Inflammatory basis
2) Allergic basis
4) Neuro trophic conditions
5) Circulatory disturbance
SYMPTOMS
3) Trophic changes
1) Cosmetic disadvantage seen as a growth on the cornea,
2) Usually symptomless but may cause slight irritation or foreign body sensation, 3) Causes diminution of vision by producing astigmatism due to traction on the cornea,
4) It It approaches the pupillary area then causes gross diminution
5) Rarely diplopia If thick and Fibrous (recurrent pterygium) due to mechanical
restriction of ocular movements. • PARTS OF PTERYGIUM

4) Body
CLINICAL TYPES OF TRUE PTERYGIUM 1) Progressive pterygium
2) Regressive pterygium
3) Pterygium sicca
4) Malignant pterygium
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
1) Pseudo Pterygium.
COMPLICATIONS
1) Gross corneal astigmatism
2) Comeal opacity
3) Permanent visual loss if it encroaches the pupillary area
MANAGEMENT OF A PTERYGIUM
1) Medical
1) Topical steroids,
2) Mitomycin-C eye drops (antimitotic) may be helpful in early stages and recurrent pterygium.
2) Surgical
1) Excision and bare sclera technique,
2) Rotation of head towards fornix (McReynaud’s Operation), 3) Excision with pattern lamellar graft,
4) Division of head Into two parts and sutured into superior and Inferior fornix.
3) Radiation
B - Irradiation
4) Cryocoagulation 5) Laser treatment
PREVENTION OF PTERYGIUM Use of dark glasses

10. Stye (Hordeolum Externum) CLINICAL CASE
STYE is derived from the word steigon meaning ‘to rise’. HORDEOLUM Is a Latin word meaning ‘barley’.
DEFINITION
Stye is a localised suppurative inflammation of the lid margin com mencing in connection with a ciliary follicle and involving particu larly the associated gland of zeis. OR stye can be defined as an acute suppurative inflammation of the gland of zeis.
ETIOLOGY
It is caused by suppurative organism Staphylococcus aureus.
AGE
Common In children and young adults.
RECURRENT CAUSES 1) Diabetes, 2) Focal Infection,
3) Debility, 4) High carbohydrate diet, 5) Uncorrected refractive errors. CLINICAL STAGES
1) Early stage (Stage of Induration),
2) Late stage (Stage of suppuration). SYMPTOMS 1) Feeling of fullness or heaviness in the eyelid, 2) Acute pain,
3) Extreme tenderness over Infected area.
@Ganesh Agrawal @Ram Padiya @Yash Lohiya 2018 Batch
Clinical Ophthalmic Cases 187.
COMPLICATIONS 1) Orbital thrombophlebitis,
2) Spreading cellulitis, 3) Staphylococcal septicemia. SIGNS
1) Swelling, redness and oedema of the affected lid margin,
2) Severe tenderness at the point of Inflammation of lid, 3) Chemosis of bulbar conjunctiva, 4) White pus point becomes visible on the lid margin in relation with the root of the follicle or cilia, 5) Enlargement of Pre-auricular lymph node of affected side. TREATMENT
Treatment of stye depends on the clinical stage -
1) Medical -
I) Hot fomentation till pus points out,
ii) Neomycin eye ointment and Norfloxacin eye drops locally, Hi) Systemic antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs,
iv) Low carbohydrate diet. 2) Surgical Epilation of the affected eye lash.
Note -
The lid margin should never be squeezed because of danger of retrograde spread of infection.
Incision of stye -
If the stye Is very large and pus is pointing then make a small nick on the pus point.

11. Chalazion (Meibomian Cyst) CLINICAL CASE
DEFINITION
It Is a chronic inflammatory granuloma caused by retention of secretions of meibomian (tarsal) gland.
PREDISPOSING FACTORS 1) Seborrhea,
5) Vitamin - A deficiency,
2) Blepharitis,
6) Foreign body reaction,
3) Conjunctival infection,
7) Diabetes,
4) Low grade infection,
8) Refractive errors.
AGE
More common in adults.
SYMPTOMS
1) Usually symptomless (painless nodule),
2) Cosmetic disfigurement if it is large, 3) Heaviness over lid,
4) D.O.V. due to astigmatism caused by pressure of chalazion over lid. CLINICALLY
Skin surface over chalazion is normal and mobile.
- Non-tender, - Conjunctival surface is velvety red and swollen, - Tumor may remain stationary or resolve by itself or grow in size or become secondarily infected, - Very rarely may become malignant If recurrent. Marginal chalazion
May develop on the duct of a tarsal gland and it projects like a nipple from the lid margin and is flattened in the posterior part.

12. Pinguecula
CLINICAL CASE
Pingueous In Latin means ‘Fat’.
DEFINITION
It Is a yellowish small triangular patch formed by elastic de generation of connective tissue, situated in the bulbar con junctiva on either side of the cornea, being combined expression of changes due to senility and exposure.

Bitot’s Spot DEFINITION
Small grey or white sharply demarcated areas, cheese like foamy, occurring on either side of the limbus but specially in the temporal area of the conjunctiva.
AGE
Children. OCCURRENCE Common in countries where malnutrition is prevalent.
SEX
More common in males.
CAUSES
Vitamin - A deficiency, pellagra, exposure, congenital, idiopathic.
Patho physiology
It appears as an oval or triangular greyish or whitish sharply demarcated area. Appears either as a cheese like patch or as a Film covered with dry foam like material. It occurs on either side of limbus at 3 and 9 O'clock, usually on the temporal side in the palpebral aperture. It may become pig mented due to melanin or kajal. Bitot's spots are accumulation of debris and fatty material and the foam like appearance is due to vesicular forma tion and irregularities of the superficial layer of the keratinised epithelium said to be accentuated by gas formed and trapped by c. Xerosis. Clinical and ocular diseases do not always corelate with serum levels of vitamin A.
CLINICAL
1) Night blindness,
PICTURE
2) Triangular greyish cheese like patch on either side of limbus at 3 and 9 O’clock, more frequently on the temporal side in the palpebral aperture, 3) Child is malnourished, 4) Keratomalacia - In the last stage of vitamin-A deficiency the cornea becomes soft and perforates leading to blindness.
TREATMENT
1) Restoration of nutrition,
2) Injection Vitamin-A I lac units I.M. biweekly X3-5 injections,
3) Administration of high vitamln-A diets In the form of egg yolk, carrots, green vegetables, cod liver oil, ground nut, milk, 4) Instillation of hypermellose eye drops frequently, 5) Bitots spot can be excised for cosmetic reason after correction of Vita min -A deficiency because Bitot’s Spot may persist even after actual cor rection of Vitamin-A deficiency, 6) Treatment of the cause.
