Abstract

OPHTHALMOLOGISTS ENCOUNTER A LARGE NUMBER OF CORNEAL EMERGENCIES ON A DAILY BASIS, ESPECIALLY IN A DEVELOPING COUNTRY SUCH AS INDIA. THIS COMPRISES OF A BROAD SPECTRUM OF CONDITIONS SUCH AS INFILTRATES, PERFORATIONS, CHEMICAL INJURIES AND MANY MORE. MOST OF THESE CONDITIONS ARE VISION THREATENING, AND THE IMMEDIATE MANAGEMENT BY THE ATTENDING DOCTOR MAKES A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN THE LONG-TERM OUTCOME. THIS IC BRINGS TOGETHER A TEAM OF EXPERTS WHO HAVE A VAST EXPERIENCE IN DEALING WITH SUCH CORNEAL EMERGENCIES, BOTH MEDICAL AS WELL AS SURGICAL. OUR INSTRUCTORS WOULD LIKE TO ELABORATE ON THE BASIC EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT OF SUCH SCENARIOS FOR THE GENERAL OPHTHALMOLOGIST. IT WOULD ALSO BE USEFUL FOR ALL POSTGRADUATES AND FELLOWS TO PRACTICE A SYSTEMATIC AND WELL-STRUCTURED APPROACH TO SUCH CASES.
