Q

Preseptal cellulitis has NO PROPTOSIS

NO restricted ocular motility
NO PAIN with EOM
And NO Optic neuropathy

A

Compare this with Orbital cellulitis

As they both presents with a swollen eye/ eye lid 2/2 staph and strep

But cellulitis has Proptosis and Restricted EOM with Pain

Q

When should you start treatment for chemical injury to the eyes

A

BEFORE EVALUATON!

Copious irrigation for at least 30 minutes

Wait 5 – 10 minutes after irrigation stopped, then check pH in the fornices using litmus paper

Continue irrigation until neutral pH is achieved

Topical anesthetic (proparacaine)

Evert lids to flush out retained chemicals

IOP should be assessed

Q

A pt presents with an irregularly dilated pupil that reacts poorly to light

(Responds with SLOW accommodation)

Typically unilateral and mc in women who also have a loss of DTRs
