FUCH’S DYSTROPHY
•
•
•
•
Endothelial corneal disorder
Women > Men, 3:1 and more severely
Progresses with age
Stages
– Guttata
– Stromal and epithelial edema
– Corneal scarring
• Muro-128 5% solution/ung
• DSAEK
Who Gets Dry Eye?
• Women>Men
• Older>Younger
• Patients with autoimmune diseases
• Lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, sarcoid,
Sjogren’s, thyroid disease, rosacea, etc.
• Post-menopausal
• Medication induced
• Hormonal therapy, antidepressants, anxiolytics
Inflammation and Dry Eye
• Research clearly shows corneal, conjunctival and
lacrimal gland inflammation as a major cause of
dry eye syndrome.
• Ongoing inflammation results in the increase
production of cytokines and activated T-Cells that
mediate the inflammatory process
• Inflammation acts to shut down the components of
good tears
SJOGREN’S
• Autoimmune disease that attacks the
exocrine glands
• Associated with rheumatoid arthritis
• Specifically lacrimal and salivary glands
• Women>Men
• Increases with age
• Diagnosis often made with signs/symptoms
• Positive SSA and SSB serum autoantibodies
®
Restasis
Proven To:
• Decreases inflammation in the cornea,
conjunctiva, and lacrimal gland
• Increases tear production
• Increases goblet cell density
• Decreases SPK
• Decrease dependence on artificial tears
• Excellent safety profile
– Cyclosporine undetectable in blood
Restasis® Recommendations
•
•
•
•
•
•
BID dosing in most cases-not PRN
Severe cases use QID with a steroid initially
Continue artificial tear use initially
Burning initially or later as ocular surface heals
Use before and after contact lenses (15 minutes)
Persistence with therapy
– Results are 2-3 months away
• Discuss long-term therapy
– May attempt once daily dosing when controlled
• Mail order (90 day supply);2 boxes=1 month supply

Estrogens vs. Androgens
• Androgens important in the quality/quantity of oily
secretions
• Androgen levels decrease with age resulting in
– Increased meibomian gland dysfunction
• Results in evaporative dry eye
– Lacrimal gland inflammation
• Results in aqueous deficiency
• May explain post-menopausal dry eye
• Sjogren’s patients show decreased androgen levels
ACNE ROSACEA
• Redness/telangiectasia/papules on the
cheeks, nose, and forehead
• More common in women
• More severe in men
• Fair or light skinned patients more common
and more severe
• Increased meibomian dysfunction and
blepharitis with ocular rosacea

EPISCLERITIS
•
•
•
•
Women > Men and more severely
Sectoral injection on bulbar conjunctiva
Mild tenderness to area
Superficial conjunctival vessels and deeper
episcleral vessels involved
• Treat with PF/Durezol q2h to start
• Taper as usual with response
MANAGEMENT
• Refer for bloodwork with multiple
recurrences/bilateral involvement
• Nodular episcleritis more typical of
systemic disease
• Refer if severe pain and/or bluish color to
conjunctiva
– Typical of scleritis
• Refer if unresponsive to topical steroid
treatment
IRITIS
• Women > Men
• Unilateral pain, circumcorneal injection,
photophobia, decreased VA
• C/F in AC, KP on corneal endothelium,
posterior synechiae, decreased/increased IOP
• Traumatic, postoperative, idiopathic,
systemic associations
• PF/Durezol q1-2h, cycloplegic, glaucoma
drops PRN
MANAGEMENT
• Most cases easily managed without referral
• Need to taper steroid over 1-2 weeks
• Refer for bloodwork/x-rays if repeat
episodes or bilateral
• Refer if unresponsive to topical therapy
– May need subconjunctival steroid injection
• Refer if posterior uveitis present

MACULAR HOLE
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Progress from Stage 1 to Stage 4
Women>Men
Older>Younger
Idiopathic mostly, occasionally traumatic
Best diagnosed with OCT
Full-thickness holes generally 20/200 VA
Round, dark red colored area in the center of the
macula
• Often with yellow, lipofuscin granules
MACULAR HOLE
• Distinguish from ERM pseudohole
–
–
–
–
Macular hole perfectly round
Poor vision with macular hole
Positive Watzke-Allen with macular hole
Pseudohole with tortuous surrounding vessels
• Can follow Stage 1 and 2 holes but get
macular OCT for follow-up
• Amsler grid
MACULAR HOLE SURGERY
• Vitrectomy with membrane peel (ILM)
• Gas fluid exchange
• Face-down positioning for 2 weeks until gas
bubble absorbs
• Watch IOP closely with gas bubble
• No flying until gas bubble completely
resorbs
• Can use silicone oil but need second surgery
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
• 90% expected closure
• Expected visual outcomes dependent on
length of time macular hole present
– Best outcomes within one year
– Prognosis decreases with each year
• Average gain is 2 lines VA
CENTRAL SEROUS
RETINOPATHY
• Mostly in young (20-50yo), male patients
• Recently being reported more in women,
especially during pregnancy
• Mildly reduced VA, metamorphopsia
• Round, serous RPE detachment
• Usually resolves in 2-3 months without tx
• Controversial treatment with Diamox
MANAGEMENT
• Need baseline fluorescein to rule-out other
causes of serous detachments
– Pinpoint leakage followed by smokestack
• Can follow thereafter by monitoring VA
and macular appearance
• Watch for recurrences over time
• Rare CNV or PED in future secondary to
RPE disturbances
PIGMENTARY GLAUCOMA
•
•
•
•
•
Flacid, peripheral iris bows posteriorly
Believed to rub against lens zonules
Releases iris pigment
Decreases trabecular meshwork function
One-third of pigmentary dispersion patients
will develop pigmentary glaucoma
• Bilateral
CHARACTERISTICS
• Demographics
– Young
– Myopic
Male
Caucasian
• Mid-peripheral iris transilluminating defects
(TID)
• Krukenberg spindle (K spindle)
• Heavy pigment in trabecular meshwork on
gonioscopy

POSSNER-SCHLOSSMAN
• More common in middle-aged males
• Open angle with high IOP (40-60)
• Patient not in pain, eye is white, cornea
without edema
• Mild C/F in AC, KP on cornea, mildly
decreased VA
• PF/Durezol q2h and glaucoma drops; avoid
prostaglandins if possible
MANAGEMENT
•
•
•
•
•
Can be easily managed without referral
HOWEVER…
Watch for exacerbations
Requires close and frequent follow-up
Trabecular meshwork often weakened and
IOP is hard to control even when uveitis
subsides
• Patient often without symptoms and IOP
could be very high causing VF loss

TREATMENT TRIAL (ONTT)
• Recommends treatment with IV
methylprednisolone x 3 days
• Avoid prednisone orally until AFTER
treatment with IV (10-14 days)
• Hastens visual recovery but not final visual
outcome
• Prolongs time to development of MS
• Do not use oral steroids alone

FLOMAX
• Alpha-1 blocker used in men for BPH
• Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH)
• Initial study; 15/16 patients exhibited floppy iris
syndrome
• Can cause miosis, prolapse, excessive movement,
PC rupture during cataract surgery
• Pre-op atropine or intraoperative alpha agonists
may help
®
FLOMAX
• Notice how pupil dilates in office
• Discontinue before referral; however, may
not stop the syndrome
• Other alpha agonists are not as selective and
have not consistently shown syndrome
– prazosin-Minipress®
– terazosin-Hytrin®
– doxazosin-Cardura®
®
TAMOXIFEN
• Breast cancer oral treatment/prophylaxis
• Most commonly after one year of therapy

(Plaquenil)
– Early changes
• Retinal parafoveal granularity of RPE
– Late changes
• Bull’s eye appearance of the macula
