Purtscher's retinopathy is characterized by sudden visual loss in severely traumatized patients and is associated with multiple areas of superficial retinal whitening located primarily in the posterior pole. Visual outcome in Purtscher's retinopathy is variable, and there is no well-defined treatment. We report on a patient with immediate blurred vision in the right eye after a traffic accident...

A simple model is presented to analyse fluid flow in the anterior chamber of a human eye. It is shown that under normal conditions such flow inevitably occurs. The flow, whose reduced Reynolds number is small, is viscosity dominated and is driven by buoyancy effects which are present because of the temperature difference between the front and back of the anterior chamber. In cases of severe eye...

Sympathetic ophthalmia is a bilateral diffuse granulomatous inflammation of the surgical or non-surgical eye trauma that occur as a rare and severe complication of the trauma (1:14,000). The injured eye becomes the excitatory eye that initiates the inflamatory state of the non-injured eye that becomes the sympathetic eye. The conservative therapeutic approach, i.e. the medical treatment (steroi...

Background: Although still used in third world countries, amikacin has a harmful effect to be used intravitreally. Purpose: To report macular ischemia after an intravitreal injection of amikacin Methods: A case report regarding a traumatized eye of a 26-year-old man that was injected intravitreally with amikacin due to intraocular foreign body endophthalmitis Results: Angiography and OCT show m...

A 13 year-old boy crashed into a car while riding his bicycle and his right face and orbit were traumatized, then immediately globe extruded completely, his outward appearance was terrible when he was hospitalized, and the vision was NLP. Optic nerve, muscles, and all vessels and nerves were in severe stretching and the globe was at risk of ischemia and necrosis. I.V. corticosteroid, antibiotic...

To incorporate multisensory information into the healing process, we offered a novel therapy, Eye Movement Integration (EMI), to traumatized clients who had already undergone other treatments without resolution. EMI, developed by Connirae and Steve Andreas, is based on the principle that eye movements that are naturally associated with accessing sensory, cognitive and affective information can ...

PURPOSE To report a case of aniridia in a pseudophakic patient following blunt trauma to the eye. CASE REPORT The traumatized eye had cataract surgery through a 3.0 mm clear corneal incision 6 years prior to the incident. While there have been previous cases of traumatic aniridia in pseudophakic eyes, previous reports have all occurred closer to the time of the cataract surgery. We believe th...

BACKGROUND Currently, the mental health issues of traumatized refugees are mainly documented in terms of posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety. Importantly, there are no reports of the level of psychiatric disability in treatment seeking traumatized refugees resettled in the West. Insufficient acknowledgment of the collective load of bio-psycho-social problems in this patient g...
