Intravitreal Dexamethasone

A 67-year-old woman presented with painful, acute vision loss after 5 days of fever and muscle aches while visiting the Dominican Republic. She had no recent history of ocular surgery, dental work or recent trauma. Anterior chamber aspiration confirmed an initial diagnosis of endogenous endophthalmitis, positive for Streptococcus mitis that progressed to panophthalmitis on return to Canada. Treatment included systemic antibiotics, intravitreal antibiotics and intravitreal dexamethasone. Despite the best medical treatment, the left eye progressed to corneal perforation 5 weeks after presentation. An evisceration with fitted orbital implant was successful in alleviating pain following the surgery. S. mitis is a rare, but possible cause of endogenous endophthalmitis and panophthalmitis. It was important to work with a multidisciplinary and global team to coordinate and offer appropriate treatment measures. Although vision was lost, evisceration of the left eye provided ocular comfort and good cosmetic outcomes for the patient.

Stereo Acuity

A developmental disorder of spatial vision, Amblyopia is defined clinically as a decrease in visual acuity (VA) in one, or more often in both eyes, in the absence of a clear disorder or ocular disease Amblyopia is the most common cause of monocular vision loss in children [1]. Affected individuals exhibit stereo acuity impairment and abnormal binocular summation [2]. Binocular therapies designed to improve amblyopia by binocular stimulation are highly differentiated into perceptual learning and differential training. Objective • To determine the efficacy of Vision Therapy software (CureSee) in Amblyopia. • To compare Stereopsis findings before and after VT • To compare Visual Acuity before and after VT • To compare Vergence amplitude before and after VT. Methodology: 68 Amblyopic Subjects who are visiting Ahooja Eye & Dental Institute, Gurugram for eye examination and Amblyopia management were taken. Patients diagnosed with Amblyopia were included as well as Patients with Ocular surgery done within 2 months and Patients with any Ocular pathology were excluded. Verbal Consent was taken and selected patients were enrolled into CureSee Vision Therapy Software management for Amblyopia. Data is collected prior and post the use of CureSee Vision Therapy Software by patients and the collected data were decoded and tabulated using the Ms. Excel 2010 computer program and IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) statistics version 23.0 was used for the analysis of data. Result and Conclusion: Visual Acuity improved significantly by 0.14 LogMar to the Median Values of Right Eye and by 0.60 LogMar to the Median Values of Left Eye. Stereopsis improved from 800 ± 520 sec of arc to 60 ± 60 sec of arc with P≤0.001. PFV and NFV also improved significantly after the use of Vision Therapy Software. Results conclude that Vision Therapy software is effective in improving Stereopsis, Visual Acuity and Vergence values in Amblyopic patients.

Knowledge And Practice

Knowledge and practice of public, especially patients about eye diseases are important to reduce magnitude of human blindness. Vision and sight are very essential because they allow us to connect to each other’s. In accordance to the recently published data; the estimation of 253 million people lives with vision impairment, 36 million are blind and 217 million suffer from moderate to severe vision impairment. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Shahid Dr. Aso Hospital in Sulaimani city-Iraq, from April to August 2017 by face-to-face interview through close ended questionnaire for data collecting. All data were analyzed by Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 22.0 software. P-value of < 0.05 was considered as a statistically significant. A total of 430 patients were randomly chosen to participate in the study. They were 254 (59.1%) males and 176 (40.9%) females. 76.7% of respondents was worrying about vision loss, 0.7% was worrying about hair loss. Of the participants, 32.8% was with a good knowledge level and 40.5% was with a poor knowledge level, as well as 3.1% was in a good practice and 58.8% was in a poor practice level. Female knowledge mean score was 9.53±4.96 and male knowledge mean score was 8.42±5.45, the practice mean score of males was 4.33±1.96 and mean practice score of females was 4.13±1.93. The study data indicate the worrying of participates about vision loss is in the highest proportion and the awareness and practice of patients about eye diseases is unsatisfactory. Health education campaigns are needed to improve personal awareness about vision related problems and for better eye health.
