Degenerative conditions of the eyeball
Definition [1-7]: Degenerative conditions of the eyeball are conditions arising as a result of the degenerative process and ultimately leading to complete blindness.
- Classification [1,2]: Stage I – stage of initial changes; anteroposterior axis of the eye from 23 to 18 mm, cicatricial changes of the cornea and sclera, corneal dystrophy, traumatic cataract (swelling, membranous), floating and single fixed opacities of the vitreous body, flat limited retinal detachment.
2
Stage II – stage of developed changes; axis of the eye 20-17 mm, coarse vascularized corneal scars, reduction of its diameter, coarse retracted scleral scars, atrophy and vascularization of the iris, pupillary occlusion, cataract in the form of dense tissue membranes with newly formed vessels, multiple fixed opacities of the vitreous body, extensive detachment of the retina and ciliary body. Stage III – far advanced changes; axis of the eye 17-15 mm and less, reduction, flattening of the cornea and its cicatricial degeneration, rubeosis and atrophy of the iris, dense tissue membranous neoplasms in the lens area, extending into the anterior chamber and vitreous body, fibrosis and schwarte formation in the vitreous body, total retinal detachment.
Symptoms
CLINICAL PROTOCOL FOR DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT AT OUTPATIENT LEVEL: 1) Diagnostic criteria [2]: Complaints: absence of vision; cosmetic defect in the form of drooping of the upper eyelid; lacrimation; photophobia in the fellow eye. History: previous trauma, burn/severe inflammation of the eye (uveitis). Physical examination: none. Laboratory investigations: bacteriological culture from the conjunctival cavity with identification of
the causative agent and determination of antibiotic sensitivity. Instrumental investigations: Visometry: absence of vision, possible reduction of vision in the fellow eye. Biomicroscopy condition of the eyelids and conjunctival fornices: upper eyelid is drooping, palpebral fissure is covered, fornices are deep, sometimes scars. Tonometry (non-contact). Ultrasound examination of the eyeball: assess the condition of the posterior segment: destruction, exudate, hema, retinal detachment, fibrosis of membranes. Electrophysiological examination of the eye: approximate vision, functional activity of the retina and conductivity of the optic nerve, sympathetic irritation in the fellow eye 2) Diagnostic algorithm: see appendix 1.
