Abstract
CORNEAL PERFORATIONS ARE OPHTHALMOLOGICAL EMERGENCIES THAT CAN HAVE SERIOUS AND DETRIMENTAL OUTCOMES. CORNEAL PERFORATIONS MAY OCCUR FOLLOWING INFECTIVE, NEUROPTROPHIC AND AUTOIMMUNE CORNEAL DISORDERS. CORNEAL PERFORATIONS MAY ALSO OCCUR FOLLOWING TRAUMA AND CHEMICAL INJURIES. REFERRALS TO THE TERTIARY CARE CENTRES INDICATE THAT CORNEAL PERFORATIONS ARE EITHER MISSED OR TREATED INAPPROPRIATELY. OPHTHALMOLOGISTS SHOULD HAVE A HIGH INDEX OF SUSPICION AND PERFORM SEIDEL’S TEST TO DETECT CORNEAL PERFORATIONS EARLY.
CHOICE OF TREATMENT OPTION IS DETERMINED BY THE SIZE, LOCATION, AND UNDERLYING ETIOLOGY OF PERFORATION. SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED CORNEAL PERFORATIONS ARE AMENABLE TO CYANOACRYLATE, FIBRIN GLUE, AND AMG. HOWEVER, PATCH GRAFTS, CONJUNCTIVAL PEDICLE GRAFTS, AND THERAPEUTIC GRAFTS ARE NEEDED FOR LARGE PERFORATIONS. CASE-BASED PRESENTATIONS AUGMENTED WITH VIDEOS OF TECHNIQUES WILL GIVE ATTENDEES A REAL-TIME EXPERIENCE OF MANAGING CORNEAL PERFORATIONS.
