Q

how long does it take for the entire corneal epithelium to turn over?

A

7-10 days. The superficial squamous cells heal by sliding off surrounding cells ( few hours). The cuboidal wing and basal cells heal within hours to days, and basal cells secrete basement membrane every 8- 12 weeks.

Q

what does the corneal epithelial stem cells do?

A

they are located at the superior and inferior limbus at the palisades of vogt. They migrate into basement membrane and eventually to the superficial area and are shed off. They also act as a barrier to prevent conjunctiva from growing into the cornea.

Q

what procedures must be done before removing foreign body?

A

Always take VA BEFORE and after removing FB oSc, cc, ph
Put anesthesia drop before if very painful, esp if in cornea
Check pupils and EOMs before and after
Look for circumlimbal flush (redness only at the limbus) –characteristic of uveitis
oCheck AC for cells/flares If chamber is shallow, AH could be leaking out Seidel test – put fluorescein and look for outflow
Evert lids, look for perforation oIf FB is in palpebral conj, may be difficult to see – stain with fluorescein to see its track of movement
Superior palpebral conj = most common FB location oMay have to double evert (UL and LL simultaneously) to find FB lodged in fornix – use a retractor or paper clip (video)

70
Q

normal tear film

A

3 protein factors: albumin, globulin and lysozyme. IgA is most prominent, igG most prominent in allergies, IgM in acute infections. Na, K and Cl electrolytes are in higher concentration in tears than in blood.

71
Q

lipid layer of tears

A

By Meibomian galnds ( MG) and x Moll and Zeiss
glands.
– reduce evaporation
– Polar phase has phospholipids adjacent to the aqueousmucin
and a non-polar phase with waxes, cholesterol
esters and triglycerides
– Polar lipids bound to aqueous layer lopicalins, which are
proteins that bind to hydrophobic molecules, contributing
to tear viscosity
– Blinking : to release lipids from glands. Forceful blink,
then more lipids

72
Q

Aqueous layer of tears

A

By lacrimal glands and accessory glands Wolfring and Krauss
– Is 98 to 99 % water combined with electrolytes, glucose,
urea, soluble proteins and mucins
– Provides atmospheric oxygen to the corneal epithelium
– Wash away debris
– Allow passage of leucocytes after an injury
– Provide a smooth optical surface
– Its production rate decreases with age
–Contains Ig, mostly IgA, epidermal growth
factor (which increases the production
with injury), inhibitor of proteolytic activity
–Has protective substances: Lactoferrin,
nonlysozyme antibacterial factor,
interferon, Ig and lymphocytes.
• Lactoferrin has some antibacterial activity
• Lysozyme facilitates Ig A bateriolysis
• Pro-inflammatory interleukin cytokines accumulate
@ night when there is a reduction in tear production

73
Q

Mucin layer of tears

A

 Secreted by conjunctival goblet cells, crypts of
Henle and glands of Manz
 Provide lubrication and permit the conversion of
the corneal epithelium from a hydrophobic surface
to a hydrophilic surface
 When disrupted or contaminated, it triggers tear
break up
 Deficiency of mucin layer is a feature of aqueous
deficiency and evaporative state.
 Secreted by goblet cells. Mucin anchors to the corneal
epithelium microvilli and absorbed onto epithelium,
providing a hydrophilic corneal surface and inhibiting
bacterial adhesion to the ocular surface
 Rose Bengal staining indicates that the transmembrane
and gel mucus layers are absent and the cell surface is
exposed.
 Goblet cell loss is associated with cicatrizing
conjunctivitis, vitamin A deficiency, chemical burns
and toxicity from medication

74
Q

what is tear volume?

A

normal 6-7uL

75
Q

what is the tear osmolarity?

A

Tear Osmolarity normal value: around 304mOsm/L
– Values over 316mOsm/L indicate dry eye.
– Hyperosmolarity of the tears is a key mechanism for the
disease and may be a major pathway for epithelial
damage

76
Q

dry eye disease

A

– International Dry Eye Workshop (DEWS) “…a
multifactorial disease of the tears and ocular surface
that results in symptoms of discomfort, visual
disturbance, and tear film instability with potential
damage to the ocular surface. It is accompanied by
increased osmolarity of the tear film and
inflammation of the ocular surface.“
– The definition and classification of dry eye disease: Report of the Definition and Classification Subcommittee
of the International Dry Eye Workshop (2007). Ocul Surf. 2007 Apr;5(2):75-92
• Prevalence
– estimated prevalence ranging from approximately 5%
to more than 35%, according to various studies

77
Q

signs of DES or DED

A 
– bulbar conjunctival hyperemia
– redundant bulbar conjunctiva
– decreased tear meniscus
– irregular corneal surface
– increased tear film debris
– fine, granular, confluent or coarse epithelial
keratopathy
78
Q

objective tear film evaluation

A

• Ophthalmic Dyes
– Fluorescein (NaFl), Rose Bengal, Lissamine green
staining patterns
• Tear film stability (Tear Break Up Time TBUT)
• Tear meniscus
• Noninvasive Break up time (NIBUT)
– Tearscope (Keeler) ( also c Keratometer)
• Shirmer Test I and II
• Red phenol Thread
• Dry eye questionnaire
• MMP-9 levels; Osmolarity tests

79
Q

ophthalmic dyes tests for quality assessment

A

• Fluorescein
• Fluorescein staining penetrates areas of the
corneal epithelium and conjunctival epithelium
where intercellular junctions are disrupted.
• Factors that affect fluorescence
– Concentration
– Solution pH
– Presence of other substances
– Intensity and wavelength of the absorbed light

80
Q

the rose bengal test

A

identifies areas of devitalized
tissue (conj or cornea):
– Instill a drop of Rose Bengal dye into the inferior
fornix
– Ask patient to blink and wait 3-5 minutes before
evaluation
– Score the staining using a slit-lamp:
• interpalpebral corneal and bulbar conjunctival staining
is typically seen with aqueous tear deficiency
- Selectively stains devitalized
epithelium cells of cornea and
conjunctiva
- Lasts for hours
- Can cause toxicity and cell death
under certain circumstances.

81
Q

lissamine green

A 
– Colorant in the food
industry
• Stains desiccated and dying
cells on the ocular surface.
• No burning or stinging
sensation like with rose Bengal.
• Needs good technique to see
stain
• Supervital stain that combines the
diagnostic advantages of fluorescein and
rose bengal.
• Stains healthy epithelial cells when they
are not protected by a mucin layer in a
manner similar to rose bengal. It also
stains dead or degenerated cells like
fluorescein.
Set proper illumination levels.
• Too intense or bright will diminish the
contrast and underestimate the degree of
staining.
– (consider red filter Wratten 25)
• View will be washed out with normal
illumination.
• Start with a low illumination and increase
the level until the lissamine green staining is
most visible may be the best method.
82
Q

schirmer test

A

tear quantity test
– Prepare a filter paper (5mm x 35mm with folded end) folding the end.
– Gently dry the eye.
– Apply Schirmer hooked end onto the LL margin at the lateral canthus
NOT touching the cornea ( ask pt to look up and nasal to insert)
– Tell patient to keep their eye open and blink normally ( give a straight
ahead target)
– After 5 min, Measure the amount of wetting on the filter:
• 13-15mm wetting rules out a dry eye
• 6-10mm is borderline
• less than 6mm indicates dry eye. Higher or wetting all strip before 5 min is by
reflex ( unreliable )
– The filter paper strips can cause reflex tearing and may require the use
of anesthetic agents. (Schirmer II)
Schirmer is a Whatman no.41 filter paper 5mm wide x 30 mm long ( or
50)
Fold the “head” that is 5mm long
If too much irritation, instill anesthesia- now you are measuring the
basal reflex only ( reflex by irritation gone)

83
Q

Phenol Red test

A 
• A cotton thread impregnated
with phenol red dye
• Phenol red is pH sensitive and
changes from yellow to red
when wetted by tears.
• 70mm long thread and its end
is placed in the lower
conjunctival fornix.
• After 15 seconds, the length of
the color change on the thread -
indicating the length of the
thread wetted by the tears (in
mm).
• Normal tear quantity: 9mm to
20mm.
• Dry eye :less than 9mm.
84
Q

tear prism height test

A

Observe the height of upper and lower tear meniscus ( tear
prism) with the SL
• Measure the tear meniscus of the LL , but avoid excessive or
prolonged use of the illumination (prevent artificial drying of
the tear prism).
• Compare the tear prism height with the illuminated slit width
by setting the slit horizontally in alignment with the lower lid
margin, altering the slit width until it appears to match the
height of the tear prism.
• Heights of less than 0.2mm indicate reduced tear fluid
quantity.
• A regular tear meniscus is typically observed in a healthy eye
while a meniscus with a scalloped edge is often associated
with a dry eye

85
Q

conjunctival impression cytology

A

millipore filter paper of cellulose acetate is cut into strips. proparacain is instilled in eye and then the paper is pressed against the nasal, t,i and s conj. pressure is applied for 2-3 secs. paper then put for 10 mins in 70% ethyl alcohol, 37% formaldehyde ad glacial acid and then stained with PAS. this is then evaluated under light microscope for epithelial cell morphology and density .

86
Q

Q

collagen plugs insertion

A

in canaliculus, decreases excretion of tears by 60-80%. dissolved in 7-10 days. 2.0 mm in length different size diameters

88
Q

procedure of collagen punctum plug

A

• Anesthetize the punctum
• Prepare the collagen implant for insertion
• Remove implant from foam package with jeweler’s forceps
• Naked eye vs slit amp
• Return rest to the package
• Position the patient in slit lamp, directing patient’s vision upward
• With one hand, expose the inferior lid margin
• punctum exposed (not total eversion)
• Holding the implant with the jewelers forceps in the other hand, slowly
approach the punctum, lining up the implant with the punctum opening
• Never perpendicular to the eye
• Insert the implant into the punctum as far as possible
• To position the implant all the way into the canaliculus
• release the forceps so the implant rests in the punctum
• close the forceps
• holding the tips closed, gently push the implant into the punctum until it is
flush with the lid margin
• push the implant further down into the canaliculus until it disappears from
sight
• After all the desired implants are placed, reevaluates the punctums to
ensure that the implants are in correct position
• As prophylaxis
• one drop of topical antibiotic can be instilled in-office
• Ex. Gentamicin, Polytrim
• Patient should be reexamined about 10 days after insertion to
ascertain if the implants have been beneficial
• If patient complains of epiphora, then he’s not a candidate for permanent
implants/punctum occlusion

89
Q

pressure patching

A

• Immobilizes the eyelid to reduce discomfort and promote healing
• Major indicators:
• corneal injuries and corneal epithelium compromise
• Protection
• after ophthalmic surgery like Chalazion or Pterygium Excision
• amblyopia therapy
• F/U 24 hrs
• Need:
• sterile gauze eyepads
• hypoallergenic tape of 1 inch
• alcohol swabs
• Depending on the case also needed proparacaine 0.5%, mydriatic /cycloplegic (ex. Homatropine)
topical ophthalmic antibiotic (ex. Erythromycin)
• Recline chair or patient’s head.
• Instill proparacaine 0.5%, instill mydriatic/cycloplegic drop and
make sure pupil is dilated
• Will decrease discomfort and reduce chances of secondary traumatic
anterior uveitis
• Place small ribbon of AB ointment into the inferior cul-de-sac.
• Wipe skin of cheek and forehead with alcohol swab
• Tape will adhere better
• Ask to keep both eyes closed
• PP: Pressure Patching-
• Fold one patch in half and place over the closed eyelid.
• Place a second and third over it (wo folding) aligned with the nose ridge
and the ear.
• Place a micropore tape
• one end at the midpoint of the forehead
• Ask patient if he/she can see or can open that eye.
• The others diagonally to the cheek and top of mandible ( tape is ~ 6 -7
inches long)
• Close to the nose bridge and overlapping the first tape.
• Curve it so it follows and covers the superior and lateral edges of the
patch. Continue until you cover all the area.
• Keep tape away from nasolabial fold and side of mouth to let patient eat
and talk.
• You can pinch the cheek upward where the tape will be placed and this
increases the pressure of the patch
• Prescribe analgesic if patient is in considerable discomfort
• Reexamine in 24 hours.
• Advise not to wet the PP, therefore showers are not indicated.
• Advise eye will feel worst once the anesthesia wears out
• To remove the PP lift tape from bottom toward forehead.
