Background: India announced nationwide lockdown on March 24, 2020, to control the COVID crisis. Due to lockdown, the health care system, that is, delivery and utilization of the health facilities were adversely affected. Clinical Setting: Presentation and management of nasal foreign body cases over 3 months post COVID lockdown has been discussed. Factors for delayed diagnosis and management are assessed and compared with pre-COVID era. Result/Outcome: Due to lockdown and COVID phobia, more complicated cases of nasal foreign body are presented in post lockdown period. Conclusion: We need to formulate and standardize the management strategies to avoid such unfortunate circumstances so that even non-COVID cases are managed more appropriately and in a timely manner.

INTRODUCTION: Toxic keratoconjunctivitis is a frequently encountered problem in the subspecialty of cornea. Toxic keratoconjunctivitis can occur as a complication of exposure to various substances. Toxic keratoconjunctivitis due to exposure to many chemicals and medications have been well described in the literature. The present study was carried out to explore the clinical profile of toxic keratoconjunctivitis caused by insect an unknown cause in a tertiary care center in Lumbini zone of western region of Nepal. METHODS: It was a prospective observational study conducted in cornea clinic of Lumbini Eye Institute, Bhairahawa, Nepal from 1 October 2012 to 30 September 2013. Institutional approval and informed consent was taken. All the patients presented with toxic keratoconjunctivitis caused by insect or unknown causes were included in the study. Patients with other known causes of toxic keratoconjunctivitis like drugs, chemicals were excluded from the study. Detail clinical history, general physical examination and meticulous ophthalmological examination were carried out in all the subjects as per predesigned pro-forma. Patients were followed up after 3 days, 1 week and 2 weeks after initial presentation. RESULTS: Total 39 patients with toxic keratoconjunctivitis presented in cornea clinic of Lumbini Eye Institute during the study period were enrolled and analyzed. The mean age of the patients was 38.20±15.44 year ranging from 16-75 years. Male were affected more than female. In our study 33 (84.62%) patients were male and only 6 (15.38%) patients were female. Most of patients presented during the month of April and May. Twenty one (53.85%) of our patients noticed some small insects lodged in the eye. Eighteen (56.15%) patients had history of exposure of foreign body but could not identify it as insect. Most of patients noticed exposure of insect or an unknown object in Night (36, 92.31%) and only 3 (7.69%) patients during day time. Mean duration of illness was 2.13±1.19 days ranging from 1 to 5 days. Right eye and left eye were involved equally. Complete healing of lesions occurred in all the patients CONCLUSION: Toxic keratoconjunctivitis caused by insect or unknown foreign body is a frequently encountered problem seen in summer months in a tertiary care center in Lumbini zone of western region of Nepal. With treatment all the patient had good out come in form of complete healing of ocular lesions.
