Here, 2% xylocaine is introduced into the muscle cone behind the eyeball. The injection is usually given through the inferior fornix of the skin of the outer part of the lower lid when the eye is in primary gaze. The ciliary nerves, ciliary ganglion, oculomotor nerve and abducens nerve are anesthetized in retrobulbar block. [2]
Intraocular pressure may be lowered by allowing drainage of aqueous humor from within the eye to the following routes: (1) filtration through the sclerotomy around the margins of the scleral flap into the filtering bleb that forms underneath the conjunctiva, (2) filtration through outlet channels in the scleral flap to underneath the conjunctiva,(3) Filtration through the connective tissue of ...
incise the conjunctiva or the eyelid skin •Keratotome: small triangular blade with two sharp edges used to incise the limbus (sclerocorneal junction) •Zeigler's knife: very tiny knife for intaoccular maneuvers specially when space is less Scissors - •Conjunctival sac scissors: flat small curved scissors to cut the conjunctive •Corneal ...
Schematic diagram of the human eye showing. Subconjunctival injection is a type of periocular route of injection for ocular drug administration by administration of a medication either under the conjunctiva or underneath the conjunctiva lining the eyelid.
Suture conjunctiva; Insert temporary ocular conformer until prosthesis is received (4–8 weeks later) After implant vascularization, an optional secondary procedure can be done to place a couple peg or post. Also under anesthesia: Create conjunctival incision at the peg insertion site; Create hole into implant to insert peg or post
Diagnosis can be further made under a slit lamp upon the observation of redundant conjunctival folds. These folds can be made more apparent by staining with fluorescein dye and by applying gentle upward pressure with a finger to the eyeball through the lower lid. In pure aqueous tear deficiency dry eye patients, fluorescein stains in the ...
A symblepharon is a partial or complete adhesion of the palpebral conjunctiva of the eyelid to the bulbar conjunctiva of the eyeball. It results either from disease (conjunctival sequelae of trachoma) or trauma. Cicatricial pemphigoid [1] and, in severe cases, rosacea may cause symblepharon. Congenital symblepharon may be seen with ...
The number of injections tripled to 15,000 in 2002 when triamcinolone injections were first used to treat diabetic macular oedema. [2] [3] This use continued to drive an increase to 83,000 injections in 2004. [2] In 2005 bevacizumab and ranibizumab intravitreal injections for the treatment of wet-AMD caused a rise in injections to 252,000. [2]
