Q

How does the treatment of herpes ophthalmicus and HSV keratitis differ (5, 5)?

A

HSVK

  • topical acyclovir 1% 9 x /d x 14 –> consider PO if topical not available or if process severe
  • NO steroids (worsen infxn)
  • emergent ophtho f/u
  • NSAIDs for pain
  • consider prophylactic topical abx if symptoms of iritis

HO

  • PO antivirals (higher dose, acyclovir 800 5x/d or valacyclovir 1000 mg TID x 7-10d)
  • topical antibiotics
  • emergent ophtho f/u
  • consider topical steroids (discuss with ophtho)
  • lubrication to maintain healthy ocular surface

Q

What is are the management considerations for chemical ocular burns? (7) What acid in particular requires an additional consideration?

A
  • Freeze eye (pre-irrigation)
  • Morgan lens IRRIGATION!!! (2L acids, 4L alkali minimum)
  • Re-check pH 10 min post-irrigation ( target > 7)

Photophobia
\+/- change VA
Blueish-purplish hue
