Chemical injury to the eye Ocular emergency Dr Soujanya K
Sources Dr Uma kulkarni
Acids Common acids Common sources Battery acid (sulfuric) Glass polish (hydrofluoric) Vinegar (acetic) • Sulfuric acid • Sulfurous acid (most common) • Hydrofluoric acid (most serious) • Acetic acid • Chromic acid • Hydrochloric acid Dr Umakulkarni
Alkalies Common sources Fertilizers Cleaning products (eg, ammonia) Drain cleaners (eg, lye) Oven cleaners Potash (eg, potassium hydroxide) Fireworks (eg, magnesium hydroxide) Cement (eg, lime) Common alkalies • Ammonia (most serious) • Lye • Potassium hydroxide • Magnesium hydroxide • Lime (most common) Dr Uma kulkarni
Severity of chemical injury • Type • Volume • Concentration • Duration of exposure • Degree of penetration of the chemical Dr Uma kulkarni
Acid injury Dr Uma kulkarni
Acid injury H+ & Anion Dr Uma kulkarni
Acid injury H+ & Anion Denaturation of proteins Precipitation of proteins Coagulation of proteins Dr Uma kulkarni
Alkali injury Dr Uma kulkarni
Alkali injury OH- & Cation Dr Uma kulkarni
Alkali injury OH- & Cation Saponifies fatty acids Increases further penetration Increases IOP Inflammatory response Dr Uma kulkarni
Symptoms • Pain (often extreme) • Foreign body sensation • Blurred vision • Excessive tearing • Photophobia • Red eye(s) Dr Uma kulkarni
Conj. & corneal epithelium > Necrosis of the conjunctival and corneal epithelium > occlusion of the limbal vasculature
Corneal stroma Deeper penetration - breakdown and precipitation of glycosaminoglycans and stromal corneal opacification Dr Uma kulkarni
Anterior chamber penetration results in iris and lens damage
Ciliary epithelial damage impairs secretion of ascorbate which is required for collagen production and corneal repair Hypotony and phthisis bulbi may ensue in severe cases
Limbalischaemia; Dr Uma kulkarni
grade 2 – corneal haze but visible iris details Dr Uma kulkarni
(C) grade 3: corneal haze obscuring iris details; (D) grade 4:total corneal opacification
Conjunctival bands symblepharon cicatricialentropion keratoprosthesis
Treatment Treatment should be instituted IMMEDIATELY, even before talking history
Emergency Treatment: Saline Copious irrigation (until neutral pH):, may range from a few liters to many liters (more than 8 to 10 L
Lids should be retracted and fornices swabbed for particulate matter
Management • Remove inciting chemical (irrigation) • Remove any particles • Control inflammation • Control pain • Control IOP • Prevent infection • Promote epithelial healing- Ascorbic acid • Prevent symblepheron Dr Uma kulkarni
