Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Case Review: Vitreous Hemorrhage Secondary to Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy
Q: What is your treatment in the acute setting and in the long term?
Treatment depends on the cause. For proliferative diabetic retinopathy, anti-VEGF injections are a possible initial approach; a suspected retinal tear or detachment may require prompt vitrectomy. Longer-term care may involve continued injections or panretinal photocoagulation, based on the patient's circumstances and follow-up reliability.
Case Review: Vitreous Hemorrhage Secondary to Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy
Q: What are some common causes of vitreous hemorrhage in adults and children?
In adults, common causes include posterior vitreous detachment, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears, retinal detachment, and vascular conditions. Trauma is a leading cause in children, alongside some inherited and inflammatory conditions.
Case Review: Blepharitis Management
Q: What are the biggest mistakes clinicians make when managing blepharitis or ocular surface disease?
Overreliance on chronic steroids without addressing underlying pathology, indiscriminate use of antibiotics, and unnecessary procedures like punctal plugs when the root causes (Demodex, rosacea, ocular surface instability) are not being properly treated.
Case Review: Blepharitis Management
Q: So to start us off, how do we even define blepharitis? How do you think about it or break it down conceptually?
Blepharitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the eyelid margin with a spectrum that involves the lashes, lid margin, meibomian glands, and the ocular surface; there is considerable overlap between anterior and posterior forms, and most patients have features of both. It's essential to diagnose the primary drivers (Demodex, rosacea, meibomian gland dysfunction) to guide targeted therapy.
Case Review: Lens-Induced Glaucoma
Q: What is your approach to managing these patients acutely and when do you decide to proceed to surgery?
Begin with medical management to lower IOP and suppress inflammation, using topical and possibly oral agents, and monitor corneal clarity and pupil status. Once the eye is medically stabilized and the view improves, reassess for surgical extraction of the cataract to resolve the underlying stimulus, typically within one to two weeks, while ensuring there is a clear plan to avoid synechiae and other complications.
