Approach to The Management of Posterior Segment Ocular Trauma

Posterior segment ocular trauma is a common cause of severe visual loss.
Timely intervention can prevent blinding complications and help to sustain
useful vision throughout life. Every ophthalmologist should be aware of
the management of fresh ocular trauma. Awareness also has medico legal
implications. This course is aimed at comprehensive ophthalmologists and
retinologists. Level of the course is intermediate. After every didactic lecture,
which will be aptly supported by video demonstrations, there will be audience
interaction also.
The topics covered include:
1) Introduction and pathophysiological basis of posterior segment ocular
trauma ultrasound imaging of posterior segment trauma Immediate
management of open globe injury including occult scleral rupture macular
involvement in closed globe injury vitrectomy in open and closed globe injurieswhen;
Why and How?
2) Management of complicated trauma related retinal detachments
3) Evaluation and management of retained intraocular foreign body Post
traumatic endophthalmitis; “How is it different from post-operative
endophthalmitis?”
4) Discussion

Increased Test-Retest Variability Typically Precedes Definite
Glaucomatous Field Defects in Early Glaucoma
Chakravarti Tutul (1)
1. Eye and Glaucoma Care
Early field loss is often represented by a region of variable responses rather
than by a localized deep scotoma. Increased local fluctuations typically precede
definite glaucomatous field defects in early glaucoma in a set of subjects with
1) ocular hypertension, 2) primary angle closure, and 3) glaucoma suspects
who converted to glaucoma with early localized defects. The conversion to
glaucoma is a reproducible glaucomatous field defect at the moment of their
conversion in automated perimetry. This retrospective chart reviews 129
cases (256 charts; 243 OHT+9 PAC+4 glaucoma suspects). Participants were
tested once half-yearly and followed up 4-7 years. Early defects manifested as
increased variable responses in affected areas of 9 charts out of 31 converted
charts (25 converted patients). Variability occurs mostly at pathological points
in those 9 charts. Test-retest variability increases in the areas finally becoming
definitely abnormal and representing warning signs of absolute defects.

Refractive Surgery Complications and Management

Bilateral Corneal Infection After LASIK: Managment and Long Term
Results
Salaheldin Mostafa Yehia (1)
1. Cairo University
This video will show a rare case of bilateral corneal infection following LASIK
procedure in a 32-year-old lady. The patient presented 4 months after surgery
with bilateral corneal melting with visual acuity of hand motion and severe pain
and photophobia. She underwent simultaneous right penetrating keratoplasty
and left overlay amniotic membrane grafting. Follow up from one week to six
years shows amazing results particularly with reformation of the cornea after
amniotic membrane grafting. The video highlights the importance of aggressive
surgical treatment in cases of resistant corneal infection.

Management of Complicated Femtosecond Laser Flaps
Kaskaloglu Mahmut (1)
1. Kaskaloglu Eye Hospital
Femtosecond laser is the method of choice for LASIK flap creation because of
its precision and safety. However complications may occur in this procedure.
Most of these complications can be treated without compromising the
visual recovery. In this presentation I will review the complications and their
management.

Management of Toric IOL Decentration
Kohnen Thomas (1)
1. Department of Ophthalmology, Goethe University
Today›s cataract surgery is also refractive surgery. More and more premium
IOLs are implanted. To match the individual patient›s personal visual
requirements, such lenses can be aspheric, toric or multifocal IOL as well as
combinations of those. Especially toric lenses achieve their full optical benefit
only, if they are centered perfectly in axis according to the corneal astigmatism.
The lecture summarizes methods to plan the positioning of toric IOL, shows
methods to achieve intraoperative centration and explains the management
of misaligned IOL.

Post Refractive Retinal Detachment
Nikolakopoulos Athanasios
A retina detachment that followed an uneventful Phackic IOL after two years in
a 24d young myope is presented. The difficulties in treatment and the site of
peripheral iridectomy are the discussion for the panel. The need to preserve
the IOL and the clear lens of the patient is very difficult if the tear is big and
running from the far periphery to the center toward the disc.
