Hyphema - Blood clot in the eye

Hyphema - Blood clot in the eye

This patient came with injury to the eye while playing cricket. He has blurring of vision and dull ache.

Incidentally on examination a small hyphema ( Blood clot) is seen in the eye. Luckily there seems no other injury effects in the eye as of now.

Hopefully he should do well with medicines.
This brings out the debate of wearing protective glasses while playing as there have been incidences of loss of vision and other grave injuries.

Posterior Capsular Opacity

Also known as an After Cataract, the Posterior Capsular Opacification is common occurence after the cataract surgery.

• Sometimes you develop a thin layer/ thickening behind the lens or on the posterior capsule of the lens ( that is the back support) of the natural lens.
• This thickening of the capsule causes your vision to become cloudy. If this happens you may need to have laser treatment, Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy, to make vision clear again. Once you have had the laser treatment for PCO it doesn’t normally cause any long term problem with your sight.
• The incidence of PCO is known to range from as high as 50% to as low as <5% in eyes undergoing cataract surgery for uncomplicated senile cataracts.
• The need for performing capsulotomy depends on the patient's functional impairment of vision, discomfort, and demands.
•  The clinical complications from Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy include a rise in intraocular pressure, glaucoma, cystoid macular edema and retinal detachment.

Improved Dependability With The New Toric IOLs

Today’s patients accept nothing less than perfection

Surgeons have two methods for correcting pre-existing corneal astigmatism during cataract surgery: 

We can perform arcuate incisions (typically LRIs)  or  can implant a toric IOL. 

There are numerous toric IOLs available to us from Acri.Tec, Alcon, Abbott Medical Optics (AMO),  some are also available in a toric multifocal platform. From among the many options, one should look for toric IOLs that offer good optical performance, excellent visual quality, with good alignment and excellent rotational stability. Ease of use for the surgeon is also a factor. 

Pearls for success

Excellent visual outcomes with a toric lens is dependent on two things: Precise axis placement initially, followed by rotational stability postoperatively.

Today’s toric IOLs offer much greater stability than earlier versions, increasing patient satisfaction and helping us set the bar for outcomes higher. I believe we should be able to get at least 80 per cent of our patients within 0.5 D of the intended cylinder correction.

Steroid Induced Cataract

Inadvertent use of steroids in the eyes can cause Cataract. Unfortunately this patient has to use it for the treatment of asthma. As always medicines can be boon to over part of the body and Bane to another.

Always the pros are more than the cons and hence survival is better.
