Endogenous Endophthalmitis
Sources
Endocarditis, GI, urinary tract, indwelling catheters
If focal source, think bacterial
If compromised host, think fungal

Candidal endophthalmitis progression (from Kanski atlas)
Endophthalmitis Vitreal involvement
Choroiditis
Risk of advancing to endophthalmitis if on anti-fungals is extremely low

Fungal Endophthalmitis Management
Candidemia with eye or valve involvement receives a longer course of anti-fungals
Anti-fungals
Vitrectomy (especially if Aspergillus)
Culture
Ampho B
Recommended if substantial vision loss

Chemical to eye
All chemical exposures need to be rinsed immediately with
AT LEAST 2L saline More if suspect alkali
Alkali eats through cornea (acid doesn’t)
Must get pH under 8.0 (you’ll never get to 7.4)
![Page 55: Ophthalmology for the Generalist The Red Eye Acute …unmfm.pbworks.com/w/file/fetch/48519245/UNMFamMed111_30...The Red Eye Acute Conditions Bob Avery, MD, PhD Ophthalmology/Surgery](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052217/5abc5f2b7f8b9a297f8e04e4/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Chemical to eye
Severity of alkali burn is judged by
corneal opacification
size of epithelial defect,
limbal ischemia/whitening
Airbag deployment can release alkali – check pH

Refer immediately Give any available pressure-
lowering meds (drops or diamox)
If secondary to orbital swelling (hematoma, CC-fistula), perform lateral canthotomy/cantholysis Cut lateral eye corner and
inferotemporal ligament
We can easily repair it later if needed

How to use the Tonopen
Anesthetic drop
New tip cover (always keep tip covered)
Hold black button until beeps
Ready to read when double black lines
Hold lids if necessary Against bone – don’t push on
globe

How to use the Tonopen
Tap perpendicular to center of cornea Faint beep with each reading
Long beep when readings satisfactory or times out Should have <5% deviation
(underscore on display)
Will turn itself off
* If says CAL (needs calibration), hold
pointing down for several seconds. When beeps “up”, point it up until it says “good”

Technique
Dilate
Examiner and patient at eye level
Patient +/- examiner remove eyeglasses
Patient fixates in distance with other eye
Index finger on focusing wheel
To examine right eye
Hold in right hand
Look with right eye
![Page 99: Ophthalmology for the Generalist The Red Eye Acute …unmfm.pbworks.com/w/file/fetch/48519245/UNMFamMed111_30...The Red Eye Acute Conditions Bob Avery, MD, PhD Ophthalmology/Surgery](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052217/5abc5f2b7f8b9a297f8e04e4/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Technique
Set dial well into the black/green
Look through aperture
Focus to get a clear red reflex
You will need to dial counterclockwise
![Page 100: Ophthalmology for the Generalist The Red Eye Acute …unmfm.pbworks.com/w/file/fetch/48519245/UNMFamMed111_30...The Red Eye Acute Conditions Bob Avery, MD, PhD Ophthalmology/Surgery](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052217/5abc5f2b7f8b9a297f8e04e4/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Technique
Focus to get a clear red reflex
You will need to dial counterclockwise
Compare reflex in both eyes
Dimness or opacifications represent problems in the light path (the visual axis)
![Page 101: Ophthalmology for the Generalist The Red Eye Acute …unmfm.pbworks.com/w/file/fetch/48519245/UNMFamMed111_30...The Red Eye Acute Conditions Bob Avery, MD, PhD Ophthalmology/Surgery](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052217/5abc5f2b7f8b9a297f8e04e4/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
Technique After assessing the red reflex…
Stand slightly lateral to patient
You’ll be looking toward the optic nerve head
Move in toward patient
Identify a retinal vessel
Dial counterclockwise to bring vessel into focus
![Page 102: Ophthalmology for the Generalist The Red Eye Acute …unmfm.pbworks.com/w/file/fetch/48519245/UNMFamMed111_30...The Red Eye Acute Conditions Bob Avery, MD, PhD Ophthalmology/Surgery](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052217/5abc5f2b7f8b9a297f8e04e4/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
Technique
Move as close as you can to the patient’s eye
Wider field of view
Less reflections
Trace the vessel branching pattern back to their origin (optic disk)
Now you are ready to concentrate on the exam –
no more adjustments

Examination Tips
Always examine/measure right eye first
Right is drawn first (left) or on top
If the patient has eye pain, use anesthetic drops
Note how much it helps
Ocular surface pain is quite sensitive and responsive
Intraocular or orbital pain will be minimally responsive

Take home points
Visual acuity is measured by the smallest line with at least half correct
An Afferent Pupillary Defect (APD) suggests Optic Nerve dysfunction
Know how to check pressure Use as little fluorescein as possible
Use anesthetic to exam painful eyes
