24/05/2025

A limbal dermoid is a type of benign congenital tumor that typically appears at the limbus. It is considered a type of choristoma, meaning it is composed of normal tissues that are not normally found at that location.

• Contents: May contain hair, sebaceous glands, and fat—tissues normally found in the skin.
• Laterality: Usually unilateral, but can be bilateral in some syndromes like Goldenhar syndrome (oculoauriculovertebral spectrum).
• Visual impairment may occur if the dermoid encroaches on the cornea and causes astigmatism or occludes the visual axis.

Treatment:
• Observation: If small and not causing symptoms or visual issues.
• Surgical excision: Recommended if:
• The dermoid is large.
• It causes visual disturbance.
• There are cosmetic or functional concerns.

In some cases, lamellar keratoplasty may be required if there’s deep involvement.

A positive Seidel test indicates a leaking aqueous humor from the anterior chamber of the eye — a sign of full-thickness corneal laceration.

How It’s Performed:
1. Instill fluorescein dye (usually with a fluorescein strip) into the eye.
2. Use a slit lamp with cobalt blue light to examine the cornea.
3. Look for fluorescein dilution.

✅ Positive Seidel Test:
• Appears as a bright green stream or waterfall flowing from the site of injury.
• Caused by clear aqueous humor leaking out and diluting the orange fluorescein, creating a greenish flow.
• Indicates active leakage from a wound or surgical site.

❌ Negative Seidel Test:
• No green stream observed.
• Indicates no full-thickness perforation or aqueous leakage.

Require urgent surgical repair or wound closure to prevent infection, endophthalmitis, or vision loss.

પ્રશ્ન 1: કોર્નીયલ અલ્સર એટલે શું?
જવાબ:
Corneal Ulcer (કોર્નિયલ અલ્સર) - કીકી નુ ફુલુ / રસી (કેરાટાઇટીસ તરીકે પણ ઓળખાય છે) એ કીકી પરનો ઘા છે. તે ઇન્ફેક્શન (બેક્ટેરિયા, વાયરસ, ફંગસ), ઇજા, કે ગંદા કોન્ટેક્ટ લેન્સ વડે થઈ શકે છે.

પ્રશ્ન 2: તેના લક્ષણો શું છે?
જવાબ:
• આંખમાં દુખાવો
• લાલાશ
• પાણી ઊભરાવું
• દેખવામાં ધૂંધળાશ
• પ્રકાશ તરફ સંવેદનશીલતા
• સફેદ/પીળું ધબ્બો દેખાવું

પ્રશ્ન 3: સારવાર કેવી રીતે થાય છે?
જવાબ:
સારવાર માટે સૌથી મહત્વપૂર્ણ છે સમયસર ચકાસણી. તેના માટે એન્ટિબાયોટિક, એન્ટિફંગલ અથવા એન્ટિવાયરલ આઇ ડ્રોપ્સ જરૂરી પડી શકે છે. જો કોર્નિયલ અલ્સરની સારવાર દવાથી કરી શકાતી નથી, તો તમારે તમારી દ્રષ્ટિ જાળવી રાખવા માટે કોર્નિયલ ટ્રાન્સપ્લાન્ટ સર્જરીની પણ જરૂર પડી શકે છે.

પ્રશ્ન 4: શું એમાંથી સંપૂર્ણ સાજા થઈ શકાય છે?
જવાબ:
હા, જો સમયસર સારવાર મળે તો દ્રષ્ટિ બચાવી શકાય છે. મોડું થતા કોર્નિયલ અલ્સર તમારી દ્રષ્ટિને ખરાબ રીતે અને કાયમ માટે નુકસાન પહોંચાડી શકે છે અને જો તેની સારવાર ન કરવામાં આવે તો અંધત્વ પણ લાવી શકે છે.

Case Description:A 48-year-old female presented with complaints of redness , decreased vision, pain and watering in the left eye since past month. History revealed ocular trauma while cutting wood without protective eyewear. On slit-lamp examination, a small, brownish, linear wooden foreign body was noted embedded in the posterior corneal stroma and small portion extending into the anterior chamber with surrounding stromal infiltrate and edema with DM folds. Also Hypopyon ( 2 mm height) in anterior chamber.

Management: The FB was removed under topical anesthesia using microforcep in operation theatre. Post-removal intrastromal and intracameral anti-fungal injection was given. The patient was prescribed a topical antifungal drops and advised to follow up regularly.

Discussion:Retained organic corneal FBs pose a risk of vision-threatening complications such as infectious keratitis, stromal melting, and scarring. Timely removal and proper follow-up are essential to prevent long-term visual impairment.

Cystic Pterygium is a rare variant of pterygium where a cystic (fluid-filled) component develops within the fibrovascular tissue.

Treatment : Surgical excision with conjunctival autograft with fibrin glue.

It is a very strong indication for surgical removal as it accentuates tear film abnormality causing adjacent Dellen or excavation of cornea.

Corneal Island Formation in Peripheral Ulcerative Keratitis.

Therapeutic keratoplasty is a crucial intervention in advanced PUK with corneal islands, particularly when the risk of perforation is high. Early surgical consideration, combined with systemic immunosuppression, can help preserve vision and prevent further complications.

Anterior staphyloma is a condition where the cornea and/or limbus becomes ectatic (protrudes outward) due to thinning and weakening, often accompanied by scarring and pigmentation. This results in an opaque and bulging anterior segment of the eye.

Clinical Features
• Corneal opacity with outward bulging
• Pigmentation over the affected area
• Decreased vision or blindness in severe cases
• Associated vascularization and fibrosis

Surgical Treatment:
• Keratoplasty (Corneal Transplant): If the cornea is severely involved.

Contact lenses can alter the shape of your cornea. If you wear soft contact lenses, they should be removed a minimum of one week before Lasik work-up. If you wear rigid/gas permeable lenses, remove them at least 1 month prior to LASIK work-up. By removing the lenses, the cornea will be restored to a natural shape before measurements are taken.
