Wall-eyed bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia (WEBINO) is an uncommon disorder of ocular motility that possesses a unique spectrum of clinical findings, consisting of primary gaze exotropia, adduction impairment and nystagmus of the abducting eye. WEBINO is a variant of internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) sharing similar pathophysiology and aetiologies. Much of the literature published on internuclear ophthalmoplegia and its variants focuses on aetiology and pathophysiology, whereas there has been less information addressing prognosis and management. This review will provide current perspectives on the pathogenesis, prognosis and management of WEBINO syndrome.
Caring for patients with a prosthetic eye can be a challenge to clinicians. Regardless of the circumstances leading to eye removal, inspection of the underlying tissue should be part of a comprehensive eye exam. Maintaining the overall health of the anophthalmic socket is critical in patient comfort and optimal prosthetic fit. Discussions will focus on anophthalmic procedures and preparation of the socket for prosthetic fitting. Care and management of the prosthesis and the anophthalmic socket, including associated ocular tissue disorders will be emphasized. the article will enhance the clinician’s comfort level managing patients wearing ocular prosthesis.
Uveitic glaucoma is a range of disorders that results in optic nerve damage from elevated intraocular pressure secondary to intraocular inflammation. As compared to primary open angle glaucoma, uveitic glaucoma is associated with a more aggressive disease course caused by very high intraocular pressure levels that wax and wane. Diagnosis is often based on clinical presentation, disease course, and associated systemic manifestations. Diagnostic imaging plays an important role in both diagnosis and management. While the mechanisms of uveitic glaucoma vary, treatment requires strict control of the inflammation and may involve additional intraocular pressure lowering techniques. Management often dictates an interdisciplinary approach as systemic association and treatment is common. When topical management does not slow the progression of optic nerve damage and vision loss, surgical intervention is required. A significant portion of patients with uveitic glaucoma will eventually require surgical intervention and the appropriate referrals should be made. By nature, success rates of surgical intervention in uveitic glaucoma patients are lower than non-inflammatory causes of elevated intraocular pressure and glaucomatous damage. Chronic inflammation, multiple mechanisms, systemic associations, and unpredictable response to treatment make uveitic glaucoma challenging to manage. This review will discuss the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of uveitic glaucoma to provide a guide for eye-care providers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
