Many systemic antimicrobials have been implicated to cause ocular adverse effects. This is especially relevant in multidrug therapy where more than one drug can cause a similar ocular adverse effect. We describe a case of progressive loss of vision associated with linezolid therapy. A 45-year-old male patient who was on treatment with multiple second-line anti-tuberculous drugs including linezo...

Ocular complications are common in acquired immunodefi ciency syndrome (AIDS) and occur in 50-75% of patients throughout the course of their illness. Syphilis is the most common bacterial eye infection in these patients and most often presents as uveitis or an optic nerve disease. This condition can manifest as episcleritis, scleritis, dacryoadenitis, anterior uveitis, intermediate uveitis, pap...

The study was conducted from June 2010 – May 2012. Detailed history with special reference to age, sex, and mode of injury, causes and circumstances of trauma were recorded. Ocular examination done to assess causes and level of loss of vision. B-scan was done for the posterior segment. The patients were followed up for 3 months. There were 76 patients of blunt ocular trauma (63.16% males &36.84...

Ocular toxoplasmosis is a disease caused by the infection with Toxoplasma gondii through congenital or acquired routes. Once the parasite reaches the retina, it proliferates within host cells followed by rupture of the host cells and invasion into neighboring cells to make primary lesions. Sometimes the restricted parasite by the host immunity in the first scar is activated to infect another le...

Patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy can be very challenging to manage secondary to the complex nature of their disease presentation. Patients may present with a variety of ocular findings including: lid retraction, periorbital and lid swelling, chemosis, conjunctival hyperemia, proptosis, optic neuropathy, restrictive myopathy, exposure keratopathy and/or keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Mini-scler...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Maxillofacial trauma frequently involves the bony orbit that surrounds the ocular globe. Concomitant globe injury is a concern whenever orbit trauma occurs and in severe cases can occasionally result in vision loss. The mechanism of injury, physical exam findings, and radiographic imaging can provide useful information concerning the severity of the injury and concerns for...

Aim: To document ocular toxicity if any in drug-resistant tuberculosis patients taking linezolid as an oral longer regime. Study and Design: Hospital-based Observational study. Methods Material: The study was carried out tertiary health care from January 2021- October 2022. A total of 94 participants above 18 years age who were diagnosed with Linezolid had pre-treatment best-corrected visual ac...

Cortical blindness is characterized by impaired vision resulting from an insult to the visual cortex. Patients with cortical blindness will often present with healthy ocular structures and normal pupils, but best-corrected vision will be count fingers or worse. Cortical blindness should be suspected in cases of sudden unexplained vision loss, especially in older patients who are at risk for str...
