Corneal Nerve Damage In Microbial Keratitis.
Barriers that rapidly oppose potential corneal pathogens include innate immunity, tears that form a barrier and contain antimicrobial substances, and blink reflex that helps to spread tears over the cornea and mechanically sweep away pathogens. These protective mechanisms are controlled by nerves that can both stimulate and inhibit immune functions, stimulate tear production, and regulate blink...
متن کاملPredisposing factors in microbial keratitis: the significance of contact lens wear.
Fifty-three patients consecutively admitted to Moorfields Eye Hospital for treatment of suspected microbial keratitis were examined to identify predisposing factors. The principal associations were pre-existing corneal disease (22 patients (41.5%] and contact lens wear (22 patients (41.5%]. In 13 cases (25%) contact lens wear was the only factor in patients with otherwise healthy eyes using con...
متن کاملSpontaneous hyphaema and corneal haemorrhage as complications of microbial keratitis.
Hyphaema developed spontaneously in 16 of 458 patients with microbial keratitis treated at two centres on the East and West Coasts of the United States. Chronic corneal conditions were often present, and three cases had rubeosis iridis. Inflamed iris vessels were assumed to be the source of the haemorrhage. The hyphaemas tended to persist longer than is usual, particularly when coincident with ...
متن کاملThe risk of microbial keratitis with overnight corneal reshaping lenses.
PURPOSE To estimate the incidence of microbial keratitis (MK) associated with overnight corneal reshaping contact lenses and to compare rates in children and adults. METHODS A retrospective study of randomly selected practitioners, stratified by order volume and lens company, was conducted. Practitioners were invited to participate and those agreeing were asked to provide deidentified patient...
متن کاملProfile of Microbial Keratitis after Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking
PURPOSE To report the profile of microbial keratitis occurring after corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) in keratoconus patients. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 2350 patients (1715 conventional CXL, 310 transepithelial CXL, and 325 accelerated CXL) over 7 years (from January 2007 to January 2014) of progressive keratoconus, who underwent CXL at a tertiary eye care centre, was performed....
