inflammation of deep episcleral plexus
its dark red with a bluish tint
affects choroidal vasculature

106
Q

what are the symptoms for scleritis?

A

severe ocular pain, may wake up from sleep, recurrent episodes common, decreased VA leading to blindness

107
Q

what are the signs of scleritis?

A

inflammation of scleral, episcleral, and conjunctival vessels,
sclera will have bluish hue

108

episleritis does NOT have the sclera involved. Episleritis is more acute, patients are younger with episcleritis and with milder symptoms

109

non-necrotizing and vision is maintained
is diffuse and nodular

112
Q

what is the Tx for anterior scleritis?

A

take oral NSAIDS
oral prednisone
immunosuppressive therapy

113
Q

what is anterior scleritis necrotizing?

THIS IS AN OPHTHALMIC EMERGENCY!!

114
Q

Can secondary complications occur with anterior necrotizing with inflamation scleritis?

A

yes like staphyloma and ectasia

115
Q

What is a staphyloma?

A

thinning of the sclera, bulging of the uvea,

116

A

occurs in patients with long standing rheumatoid arthritis, NO PAIN, older females

118
Q

What is the Tx for Necrotizing scleritis?

A

oral prednisone, immunosuppressive agents, eye surgery may need to be performed

119
Q

What is posterior scleritis?

A

Q

What is Tx for scleritis?

A

if infections then use anti-biotic
if foreign body the remove it
glasses or eye shield should be worn at all times
TOPICAL STEROIDS NOT EFFECTIVE
sub-conjunctival steroids are contraindicated

124
Q

what is the work up for scleritis?

examine sclera everywhere
do slit lamp with the green light
do a physical exam
