Clinical Poster SessionsResults: 8 eyes of 5 patients (Male: Female 2). Mean age was 36.5(range 18 to 55 years).The mean value of vault height after one hour challenge with BOSP was 0.80mm and after 4hour challenge was 0.54mm, the difference was statistically significant(p=0.48). The mean timeperiod usage of scleral contact lenses was 16 (range 3 to 29) months.109Conclusions: Optical Coherence Tomography is helpful to determine the vault and thereduction in the vault after four hours of BOSP wear.ICP 033Boston Ocular Surface Prosthesis in Paediatric Patients in IndiaSudharman M Preeji, D Srikanth, VM Rathi, VS SangwanCornea and Anterior Segment Services, L V Prasad Eye Instititute, Hyderabad, India.Purpose: To study the indications for the fitting of fluid ventilated scleral contact lens inpaediatric patients.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed charts of patients of 16 years or less who receivedBOSP during July 2006 to April 2010. Main goal of the fitting of these lenses was to improvevisual acuity in patients with who had associated keratoconus and to improve the ocularmicroenvironment of the patients who had Ocular Surface Disease. The visual acuity beforeand after lens wear was noted.Results: BOSP was dispensed to 15 patients (20 eyes). Indications for fitting of these lenses waskeratoconus( n=5 eyes), limbal stem cell deficiency( n=2 eyes), Stevens -Johnson syndrome(n=7eyes), radiation keratopathy(n=1 eye)combined KC and SJS ( n=2 eyes) and KC and VKC n=1eye). Mean age of patients was 12.85 years(range 9-16 years). Post-BOSP wear mean LogMARvisual acuity was 0.88 at a mean follow up of 20 months. The average duration of lens wearwas 8.33 hours per day. None of patients had any untoward complication such as infectiouskeratitis. Two patients had broken lenses during the follow up. Average lens wear time was 8.4hours; topical lubricants, cyclosporine eye drops and steroids as and were continued.Conclusions: BOSP is useful in paediatric patients who have irregular astigmatism and orkeratoconus. Also, these patients have combined VKC with associated keratoconus, SJS with orwithout keratoconus, co-existing keratoconus and LSCD in vernal keratoconjunctivitis, BOSPhelps maintain the health of ocular surface and improves vision in these patients.ICP 034Aquatic Aeromonas in Eye Infections- 5 Years ReviewSuma Nalamada, 1 G Nirmala, 1 Prashant Garg, 2 Subhadra Jalali 21Jhaveri Microbiology Centre, 2 Cornea and Anterior Segment Services, Smt.Kanuri SanthammaVitreoretinal Centre, L V Prasad Eye Institute,Hyderabad,India.Purpose: To report ocular infections caused by Aeromonas species and their susceptabilityto ocular antibiotics.
