Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since ocular infections are one of the most frequent occurrences in ophthalmology, the treatment for these infections must be fast, precise and effective. In order to address this goal, it is important to identify and characterize the culprit microorganisms involved in the pathogenesis of ocular infections. Clinical diagnosis of ocular infections can be confirmed by several techniques based on microbiological test of ocular samples. Some of these techniques include classic microbiological testing in which it is necessary to isolate microorganisms to characterize them by biochemical analysis which require significant resources and timing.
Download or read book Eye Infections Essentials in Ophthalmology written by Anastasia Maddox and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-06 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human eye and its associated structures are susceptible to several diseases and disorders, and age-related changes. Eye infections, such as conjunctivitis are characterized by inflammation, pain, scratchiness, burning and itchiness. It is a fairly common infection occurring in children, people wearing contact lenses and people infected with chlamydia or gonorrhea. It is primarily caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Keratitis is another infection of the eye in which the cornea of the eye becomes inflamed. It is characterized by photophobia, impaired eyesight, red eye and pain. It can be acute or chronic. Such infections can be caused due to bacterial, fungal, viral and parasitic agents. Endophthalmitis is another eye infection in which the interior of the eye gets inflamed. It can potentially lead to a loss of vision and the eye itself. Although it is triggered by a viral or fungal infection, it can occur due to a penetrating trauma, intravitreal injections and retained intraocular foreign bodies. Antibiotic and steroid eye drops are used to treat eye infections or to prevent them from occurring after eye surgeries. The branch of medicine and surgery that is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of eye infections is known as ophthalmology. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the various infections of the eye. The various advancements in ophthalmology, in relation to eye infection diagnosis and management, are glanced at and their applications as well as ramifications are looked at in detail. It will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.

Download or read book Eye Infections Blindness and Myopia written by Jeffrey Higgins and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bacterial eye infections are among the leading causes of vision loss and ocular morbidity, yet the widespread use of antibiotics, particularly in combating systemic infections, has led to increased resistance. This book describes studies that have reported resistance to fourth-generation fluoroquinolones used for treating ocular infections. Achieving optimal therapeutic outcomes, which will require new antimicrobial agents with less potential for promoting resistance is also discussed. This book explores endophthalmitis as an intraocular inflammation mainly involving the ocular fluids. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is also reviewed, which is a major opportunistic pathogen and a common cause of bacterial keratitis, especially in contact lens wearers. The new classes of antibiotics have offered alternatives to treat this otherwise antibiotic-resistant bacteria but reports of continued resistance indicate the need for novel areas such as the use of immunisations with attenuated strains of bacteria and treatment with non-antibiotic compounds. Myopia is the most common eyesight problem in the world and is often mild and there are no serious problems. However, it may sometimes lead to blindness. This book explores laser as a way to correct myopia as well as a study of myopia.Finally, this book includes two approaches to resolve myopic macular retinoschisis; one is an approach from inside the eye and the other is from outside the eye. An investigation of eyes for corneal, refractional, and biometric changes, which resulted in the conclusion that there is a statistically significant myopic shift after scleral buckling surgery, is evaluated.

Furthermore, how to substantially mitigate risks for succumbing to contracting lethal chronic diseases by embracing a salubrious, wholesome, heart healthy, brain healthy, kidney healthy, anticancer, antidiabetic, nutrient dense, alkaline, antioxidant rich, anti-inflammatory, raw fruitarian diet is expounded upon in this essay. The causes of eye infections are multitudinous and eye infections are easily to contract. Contracting an eye infection is always an undesirable experience to brook. Eye infections can do far more than just induce eye pain. Eye infections can cause blurry vision, itchiness, and even redness in the eye. Nothing salubrious can ensue from having an eye infection. Contracting an eye infection and undermine your vision prowess and render it all the more cumbersome to function in everyday life, especially if you are experiencing acute pain and blurry vision. You should do everything in your purview in order to preempt eye infections so that you cannot only safeguard your sacrosanct eye health, but so that you do not have to succumb the dire health effects of contracting an eye infection. The causes of eye infections can vary based on the eye infection contracted. An eye infection can be induced when the eye becomes infected by a virus or bacteria. "Infectious conjunctivitis, or pink eye, for instance is one of the most common eye infections. It happens when blood vessels in the conjunctiva, the thin outermost membrane surrounding your eyeball, become infected by bacteria or a virus. Infectious conjunctivitis can also result from allergies or exposure to chemicals, such as chlorine, in swimming pools. Succumbing to an eye injury or infection, such as a bacterial, parasitic, viral, or fungal infection can elicit infectious keratitis. Infectious keratitis happens when your cornea gets infected. The cornea is the clear layer that covers your pupil and iris. Keratitis results from either an infection, such a bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infection, or as a result an eye injury. Keratitis means swelling of the cornea and is not always infectious. Similarly to infectious keratitis, Endophthalmitis can also be be induced from an infection, such as a fungal or bacterial infection. Endophthalmitis is severe inflammation of the inside of your eye resulting from a bacterial or fungal infection. Candida fungal infections are the most common cause of endophthalmitis. This condition can happen after certain eye surgeries, such as cataract surgery, although this is rare". It may also happen after your eye is penetrated by an object. There are other triggers of eye infections that extend beyond the ambit of being precipitated by bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infection or an eye injury. "The eye can become severely inflamed when the eyelid glands get clogged with oils, dead skin, or other matter which can promote the growth of bacteria to overgrow in the eyelid glands. Blepharitis is an inflammation of your eyelids, the skin folds covering your eyes. This type of inflammation is usually caused by clogging of the oil glands inside the eyelid skin at the base of your eyelashes. Blepharitis may be caused by bacteria. Moreover, A sty, also called a hordeolum, is a pimple-like bump that develops from an oil gland on the outer edges of your eyelids. These glands can get clogged with dead skin, oils, and other matter and allow bacteria to overgrow in your gland".
