An assessment of bacterial transmission via rebound tonometry: An pilot study.
Open Vet J
November 2024
Perth Animal Eye Hospital, Manning, Perth, Western Australia.
Background: Bacterial contamination of medical equipment is a significant risk in both human and veterinary medicine, leading to potential cross-contamination between clinicians, technicians, patients, and healthcare professionals. Pathogens can persist on surfaces, resulting in healthcare-associated infections. Tonometry used to measure intraocular pressure for diagnosing conditions like glaucoma and uveitis, is crucial in both human and veterinary care.

From the Department of Medicine, New York Medical College, Valhalla, NY.
Ophthalmologic drugs may be delivered to the eye via a number of ways, including topical drops and gels, intraocular injections, and parenteral or oral administration. The inadvertent systemic absorption of these drugs may lead to a myriad of side effects, ranging from benign cosmetic changes to potentially fatal cardiovascular complications. Historically, glaucoma treatment, including β-blockers and α-agonists, have been particularly examined for such events.

The mechanical properties of sclera play an important role in ocular functions, protection, and disease. Modulating the sclera's properties by exogenous crosslinking offers a way to expand the tissue's range of properties for study of the possible influences on the eye's behavior and diseases such as glaucoma and myopia. The focus of this work was to evaluate the effects of genipin crosslinking targeting the porcine perilimbal sclera (PLS) since the stiffness of this tissue was previously found in a number of studies to influence the eye's intraocular pressure (IOP).

Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg

Department of Ophthalmology, Mount Sinai Hospital.
Mitomycin C is an alkylating agent with the ability to suppress fibroblast proliferation and activity, making it a powerful antifibrotic. It has therefore become popular in glaucoma filtering surgeries, used both intraoperatively during bleb formation and postoperatively as an adjunct to bleb needling. This report presents a rare but serious risk of bleb needling with Mitomycin C at the slit lamp, where inadvertent movement of the patient resulted in an orbital injection.
