Orbit – bacterial orbital cellulitis orbitální celulitida showimage Dry eye disorders •There is inadequate tear volume or function resulting in an unstable tear film and ocular surface disease. • •Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) refers to any eye with some degree of dryness. •Xerophthalmia describes a dry eye associated with vitamin A deficiency. •Xerosis refers to extreme ocular dryness and keratinization that occurs in eyes with severe conjunctival cicatrization. •Sjögren syndrome is an autoimmune inflammatory disease which is usually associated with dry eyes. • Dry eye disorders •Symptoms • •feelings of dryness, grittiness and burning - worsen during the day, transient blurring of vision, redness and crusting of the lids showimage showimage showimage Conjunctiva •Conjunctival injection is diffuse, beefy-red and more intense away from the limbus •Instillation of 10% phenylephrine drops will constrict the conjunctival and superficial episcleral vasculature • bakteriální konj Conjunctivitis •Bacterial - H. influenzae, S. pneumoniae, S. aureus • •Papillary reaction over the tarsal plates •Mucopurulent discharge • •Gonococcal keratoconjunctivitis - pseudomembrane formation, Lymphadenopathy, Corneal ulceration showimage showimage Conjunctivitis •Viral conjunctivitis • •Adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis - the most common external ocular viral infection •Sporadic or occur in epidemics in hospitals, schools and factories •Transmission of this highly contagious virus -respiratory or ocular secretions •Dissemination is by contaminated towels or equipment such as tonometer heads Conjunctivitis •Presentation • •Unilateral watering, redness, discomfort and photophobia •The contralateral eye is typically affected 1-2 days later, but less severely •Eyelid oedema and tender pre-auricular lymphadenopathy. •Follicular conjunctivitis showimage Conjunctivitis •Acute allergic rhinoconjunctivitis •Seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (hay fever) - onset during the spring and summer •The most frequent allergens are tree and grass pollens • •Perennial allergic conjunctivitis causes symptoms throughout the year with exacerbation in the autumn when exposure to house dust mites, animal dander and fungal allergens is greatest •Presentation - redness, watering and itching, associated with sneezing and nasal discharge showimage Cornae – infectious keratitis •Keratitis – bacterial (P. aeruginosa ,S. aureus, S. pyogenes) •Risk factors - Contact lens wear, trauma •Presenting symptoms - pain, photophobia, blurred vision and discharge •Signs •An epithelial defect, infiltrate around the margin, circumcorneal injection •Stromal oedema and small hypopyon •Progressive ulceration may lead to corneal perforation and endophthalmitis. showimage Cornae – infectious keratitis •Keratitis – fungal (stromal infiltrate with indistinct margins, surrounded by satellite lesions, hypopyon) showimage Cornae – infectious keratitis •Keratitis viral – herpes simplex virus •linear-branching (dendritic) ulcer, corneal sensation is reduced showimage showimage showimage showimage Episclera •Episcleritis – simple (sectoral or diffuse) , nodular – young, female •Presentation - always sudden •The eye becoming red and uncomfortable within an hour of the start of an attack - hotness, pricking or generalized discomfort •Without systemic associations showimage showimage showimage Sclera •Scleritis - oedema and cellular infiltration of the entire thickness of the sclera • •Anterior non-necrotizing scleritis – diffuze or nodular •Redness,pain which may spread to the face and temple • showimage showimage showimage Sclera •Necrotizing anterior scleritis with inflammation •pain - severe and persisten •Scleral thinning due to necrosis allows the blue choroid to show through the translucent hydrated scar tissue that has replaced normal sclera showimage Sclera •Scleromalacia perforans • •Specific type of necrotizing scleritis without inflammation that typically affects elderly women with long-standing rheumatoid arthritis •Yellow scleral necrotic plaques near the limbus without vascular congestion showimage showimage Glaucoma - Acute congestive angle closure Uveitis •Anterior uveitis may be subdivided into: •Iritis in which the inflammation primarily involves the iris. •Iridocyclitis in which both the iris and ciliary body are involved •Ciliary injection - peripheral hyperemia of the anterior ciliary vessels which produces a deep red or rose color of the corneal stroma, and must be distinguished from hyperemia of the conjunctival vessels.
