  • treatment of Chemical Burn to the eye a changing picture
    2020
    Co-Authors: Claes H Dohlman, Marieclaude Robert, Eleftherios I Paschalis
    Abstract:

    Purpose: To propose a modified treatment paradigm for Chemical Burns to the eye – in the acute and chronic phases – in particular aiming at preventing post-Burn glaucoma.

  • Incidence of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Chemical Burns to the Eye.

    Co-Authors: Michelle Lee White, James Chodosh, Jisun Jang, Claes H Dohlman
    Abstract:

    PURPOSE: This population-based observational study was designed to estimate the incidence and distribution of SJS-spectrum (Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and toxic epidermal Necrolysis/Stevens-Johnson syndrome overlap) and Chemical Burns (alkali or acid Burn of the cornea/conjunctiva) in the United States and extrapolate these numbers to the world. METHODS: All patients evaluated in 961 hospital-based US emergency departments between July 1, 2010, and June 30, 2012 were identified retrospectively using the Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (NEDS) from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. SJS-spectrum and Chemical Burn cases were identified using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification diagnostic codes. RESULTS: A mean of 3834 new SJS-spectrum cases per year were identified in the United States, resulting in an incidence rate of 12.35 new cases per million per year. Similarly, a mean of 15,865 new Chemical Burn cases per year were identified, resulting in an incidence rate of 51.10 new cases per million per year. CONCLUSIONS: If the incidence of SJS-spectrum is approximately uniform the world-over, extrapolation from the US figure would amount to approximately 86,500 new cases per year in the world. Extrapolation of ocular Chemical Burns to the world is difficult because the incidence and severity are anticipated to be higher in the developing world than in the United States. Still, using a US incidence rate, a minimum of 357,710 Burn accidents would be expected to occur worldwide every year; there are presently too few data available to calculate the degree of severity and bilaterality.

  • glaucoma in eyes with severe Chemical Burn before and after keratoprosthesis
    Cornea, 2011
    Co-Authors: Fabiano Cade, Cynthia L Grosskreutz, Allyson Tauber, Claes H Dohlman
    Abstract:

    PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of glaucoma in eyes with severe Chemical Burn, before and after keratoprosthesis. METHODS: A retrospective chart review of 28 eyes of 23 patients with severe ocular Chemical Burns who had undergone Boston Keratoprosthesis (BKPro) surgery at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, between 1990 and 2010. The incidence and severity of the outcome of glaucoma, preoperatively and postoperatively, were reviewed. Related issues, such as type of Chemical Burn; visual acuity (VA); device retention rate; number and nature of previous, concomitant, and subsequent procedures; and incidence of other postoperative complications, were reviewed for a median follow-up time of 57 months. RESULTS: The number of eyes with a preoperative history or signs of glaucoma was 21, 9 of which had glaucoma progression after BKPro implantation. In addition, 2 more eyes developed glaucoma postoperatively. Preoperative vision was counting fingers or worse in all eyes. Best-corrected postoperative VA ranged from no light perception to 20/20. Seventeen eyes (61%) achieved 20/60 or better VA at some point during their follow-up, but only 9 (32%) maintained 20/60 at the last follow-up. Of the 28 eyes, 6 had the BKPro replaced once and 1 had it replaced twice. Superimposed, 8 of the most severely Burned patients developed retinal detachment postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: Glaucoma is very common in eyes with severe Chemical Burns. A keratoprosthesis can rehabilitate vision, but postoperative glaucoma can be difficult to manage.
