A Clinical Trial of Povidone-Iodine for the Treatment of Bacterial Corneal Ulcers

Infected Corneal UlcersBacterial Keratitis2 more

Bacterial corneal ulcers are a leading cause of pediatric blindness in underdeveloped countries due to a lack of antibiotic availability and affordability, among other reasons. Povidone-iodine, an inexpensive and readily available broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, may be an effective and affordable treatment for corneal ulcers, allowing preservation of sight for those afflicted with this disease.

Mycotic Antimicrobial Localized Injection for Treatment of Corneal Ulcers

Corneal UlcerFungal Keratitis

Mycotic Antimicrobial Localized Injection (MALIN) is a randomized, masked, two-arm clinical trial investigating intrastromal voriconazole in the treatment of fungal corneal ulcers. There is currently little evidence to guide the treatment of fungal keratitis beyond topical anti-fungal drops, though intrastromal voriconazole and oral antifungal treatments are used as well. This study will provide evidence to guide the treatment of fungal keratitis in the future. The purpose of this study is to determine differences in microbiological cure for 3-day repeat cultures between different antifungal treatments. For this study, there will be 1:1 randomization to one of these two treatment groups: 1) topical natamycin plus intrastromal voriconazole injection or 2) topical natamycin alone.

Platelet Rich Plasma as a Treatment For Resistant Corneal Ulcers

Cornea Ulcer

This prospective study involved 14 patients aged > 18 years with RCUs not responding to conventional treatment. All patients were treated with E-PRP drops (one drop), preservative-free artificial tears, antibiotic eye drop four times daily and systemic vitamin A once daily for one month. All patients were examined at 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after the treatment initiation. In each visit, the following parameters were assessed: best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), anterior segment, corneal healing, condition of the conjunctiva, presence of abnormal discharge and symptoms reported.

Improving the Follow up Rate for Pediatric Patients

CNLDO - Congenital Nasolacrimal Duct ObstructionAmblyopia4 more

Follow-up of pediatric patients is important for their regular ocular morbidity monitoring, especially for amblyopia management. An observatory data of 1st week (1st to 7th) of January 2019 revealed that the follow-up compliance was very low (22%) among children aged 0-16 years in the pediatric department of Bharatpur Eye Hospital. A problem tree analysis showed a lack of awareness in children and their parents regarding the importance of follow-up and patients forgetting regarding the follow-up visit, usually when there is the long duration of follow up are the major contributing factors for poor adherence to follow-up. So, an intervention study was aimed at finding the effectiveness of counseling and reminders through SMS and phone calls to improve the follow-ups. All pediatric patients 0-16 years of age with ocular conditions requiring at least 3 follow-ups in the study period (January 2021 to April 2021) will be included. Two hundred and sixty-four participants will be equally distributed to three groups: routine standard care, counseling, and reminders with SMS and phone calls. In the routine care group, children will undergo routine care as per existing practice in the hospital and there will be no additional intervention. In counseling group, in addition to routine care parents/guardians along with the child will receive counseling from a trained counselor as per the set counseling protocol in every follow-up visits and will also be provided with the disease-specific information leaflets as additional information material before the child is discharged from the department. In the SMS and phone call reminder group, in addition to routine care, parents/guardians of children will receive reminders through short messaging text (SMS) 3 days and phone calls one day prior to the scheduled visit. Compliance to follow up Participants completing all the three follow-up visits as per the schedule within the window period of +/-2 days will be considered as a complaint to follow up. However, the follow-ups of all the participants will be recorded although that is beyond the window period. The primary outcome will be measured by the proportion of children completing all three scheduled follow-ups. The ethical approval has been obtained from the Institutional Review Committee of NHRC (ERB protocol registration number 761/2020 P). Informed consent will be taken from parent and child. Conclusion: If interventions improve the follow-up rate and are cost-effective, this can be applied in all the departments of the hospital.

Cross-linking for Corneal Ulcers Treatment Trial

Corneal UlcerInfectious Keratitis2 more

The primary purpose of this study is to determine if patients randomized to corneal collagen cross-linking plus medical therapy will have a lower prevalence of positive bacterial or fungal cultures immediately after the procedure than patients who received medical therapy alone. The secondary purpose of this study is to determine if patients randomized to corneal collagen cross-linking will have a better visual acuity at 3 and 12 months than patients who receive medical therapy alone.
