1
we'll talk here about some other corneal problems
2
so we'll talk about the wide range of corneal dystrophies as well as keratotorus
3
and keratoconus so the cornea is seen here it's right here it's this transparent portion consistent with the sclera
4
that covers the anterior chamber it's important that the sclera is transparent
5
because it allows light to go through the lens
6
and ultimately to the retina that being said even though the cornea
7
and the sclera are consistent the cornea is much different tissue than the sclera the cornea has to be transparent
8
and so it's made up of very organized collagen fibers as well as cells.
9
The cornea gets its nutrients through the anterior aqueous,
10
not through vessels, and that allows it to stay clear in its non -pathologic state.
11
Okay, so corneal dystrophies, I don't want you to memorize all of these by any means
12
because you don't have to memorize these, you don't have to memorize the treatment, you just need to know when to suspect corneal dystrophy because these are going to be treated by an ophthalmologist.
13
So these are a group of progressive congenital eye disorders in which
14
abnormal material accumulates in one or several levels of the cornea
15
and this disrupts the transparent property of the cornea as well as the corneal structure itself
16
so essentially what's going on is
17
because you have a genetic mutation the cells are creating something
18
that they shouldn't be creating and because of that you're disrupting
19
that fine organized corneal layer the vast majority of corneal dystrophies are congenital
20
and among those most of them are going to be autosomal dominant
21
and that's useful because you have a patient who you're suspecting some kind of corneal problem in
22
because they have corneal haze corneal opacities one of the best
23
questions you can ask is do your parents have any problems
24
do your parents have blindness does your parent has have your parents ever had anything like this
25
that will be really helpful in establishing this diagnosis.
26
They tend to affect both eyes simultaneously, but they don't have to, but that usually is how it goes.
27
Common symptoms to most corneal dystrophies, including a long -standing foreign body sensation or mild pain in the affected eye or eyes,
28
and that just has to do with the chronic nature of this.
29
The foreign body sensation is due to the fact
30
that the cornea is a very sensitive structure
31
if you don't believe me try and touch the middle of your eye
32
and see how long you can do it it's very very highly innervated
33
and very sensitive
34
so even the smallest changes these dystrophies will cause foreign body sensation the patient may experience halos
35
when looking into light and that's just because of the refraction from the foreign body, from the compound that's in the cornea,
36
refracting back to the retina.
37
Also, there's reduced visual acuity, and you'll see this particularly in patients where there's significant corneal haze.
38
And then otherwise, the patient is normal, so their pupils will react to light and to accommodation.
39
Extraocular movements should be normal.
40
The only thing that's abnormal is the fact that these patients generally have some level of corneal haze, difficulty seeing, and a foreign body sensation.
41
And this is a chronic problem.
42
So this isn't something that came up a week ago.
43
This is something that the patient has been dealing with for several months.
44
So among corneal dystrophies, and there's about 17 or 18 that are known.
45
There's probably even more.
46
The similarities are that they tend to be congenital.
47
The symptoms are consistent.
48
There's a long -standing foreign body sensation or mild pain in the eyes.
49
Decreased acuity as these corneal opacities come in.
50
They don't affect other parts of the body.
51
These are syndromes, but they don't affect anywhere else in the body except for
52
the eyes they also tend to affect both eyes similarly at the same time
53
and they're not caused by external forces this is a genetic problem this has nothing to do with trauma or infection
54
The differences lie in the particular location of the cornea that's affected.
55
Some tend to be more superficial, some tend to affect the stroma more, and some tend to affect the endothelium more.
56
Some have symptoms very, very early on, and some don't.
57
The age of presentation can be different.
58
Some of these corneal dystrophies present in childhood, others present in later adulthood could.
59
The extraneous materials that you would see if you were to do a histology would be different.
60
So some of them will make lipids, some will make cholesterol, and that's certainly not the end.
61
There's many more extraneous materials that could be secreted into the cornea.
62
The prognosis can be different based on whether
63
or not we have a good treatment modality for that particular corneal dystrophy and that kind of works into the treatment.
64
So here's our cornea here.
65
This is just cut right down the middle.
66
This is the outside here and then this is the inside here bordering on the anterior aqueous chamber.
67
So you have your stratified squamous epithelium here.
68
There's several layers.
69
These cells regenerate and they move upward.
70
So these outer cells are flat like a pancake they're squamous
71
cells you see a lot of nucleus material the more inner cells are more of a columnar shape beneath
72
that you have Bowman's membrane
73
which serves as basement membrane for the epithelium the largest section of the cornea is made up of collagen
74
and it is the stroma
75
and then down here you see a little layer of cells this is endothelium
76
and But in between the endothelium and the stroma, you have what's known as decimates membrane.
77
So the anterior corneal dystrophies affect the epithelium and the Bauman's layer.
78
There's four.
79
There's the epithelial basement membrane dystrophy, which is autosomal dominant, but it can be de novo.
80
So the patient wouldn't have any parents who had it.
81
The patient just developed the mutation on their own.
82
Lisch corneal dystrophy, which stands alone as the one X -linked dominant corneal dystrophy, Rice -Buckler corneal dystrophy, and Theobanky corneal dystrophy.
83
Those are both autosomal dominant.
84
When it comes down to the stroma, there are several different types.
85
Most, all but two, are autosomal dominant.
86
Gelatinous droplet corneal dystrophy, there's the two granular corneal dystrophies, type one and two the two lattice corneal dystrophies type one
87
and two macular corneal dystrophy which is autosomal recessive and schneider crystalline corneal dystrophy which is autosomal dominant
88
like i said you don't need to memorize these
89
and then the posterior corneal dystrophies these affect the endothelium
90
and the decimates membrane there's congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy
91
or ched type one that's an autosomal dominant variant of the same disease as chad type 2 which is autosomal recessive.
92
And then Fuchs endothelial dystrophy is an autosomal dominant disorder.
93
This has a distinguishing factor in that this tends to affect females more than men.
94
It also tends to affect older women more than younger women.
95
And then finally posterior polymorphous dystrophy which is autosomal dominant.
96
So here's all your corneal dystrophies, the major types of corneal dystrophies, do not memorize these.
97
Here's some distinguishing factors though.
98
So lattice corneal dystrophy type 1, macular corneal dystrophy, and Schneider crystalline corneal dystrophy,
99
as well as both of the CHED dystrophies, these all have a tendency to affect young people.
100
So CHED 1 and 2 will be apparent at birth and
101
so by apparent I mean corneal opacities
102
and in case you're wondering how do you tell a corneal
103
opacity from a lenticular opacity the corneal opacity will appear over
104
even the iris whereas the lenticular opacity you won't see any opacities over the iris just over the pupil.
105
So CHED 1 and 2 will be apparent at birth.
106
Signs of lattice corneal dystrophy may be present at birth, but symptoms do not typically present until the child is older,
107
post -pubescent, or even early adulthood.
108
Schneider crystalline corneal dystrophy can be a present in the first decade of life, so young children again here,
109
and then signs of macular corneal dystrophy can be present around puberty.
110
So these are some of the corneal dystrophies that tend to show up in younger people.
111
On the other hand, we have Fuchs endothelial dystrophy.
112
These tend to present in older people, in people who are in their 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond.
113
This also has a tendency to present in women more than men, about 4 to 1 ratio.
114
So a Fuchs endothelial dystrophy would be notorious for striking the
115
otherwise healthy 60 to 70 year old lady with no other health problems other than a progressive decreasing visual acuity,
116
which she ascribes to aging.
117
Very important to look in the patient's eyes.
118
Don't always say, oh, you're an old person.
119
It must be presbyacusis.
120
Maybe your lens is getting stiff.
121
Look into the eyes.
122
You know corneal precipitates.
123
Obviously, those shouldn't be there.
124
And then you look back on her history questionnaire.
125
And indeed, her father was totally blind by age 75.
126
And this is an autosomal dominant disorder, meaning that if a parent has it, you have a 50 -50 chance of getting it.
127
So all suspected corneal dystrophies are going to require consult to an ophthalmologist for specialized diagnostics and treatment.
128
If they're a younger person, especially if it's an autosomal dominant disease, you should provide them with genetic counseling at some point in the future
129
and occupational therapy can be useful for helping these people maximize their potential.
130
Your job as the clinician, as the internist, as the pediatrician,
131
as the ED doctor, is not to make the official diagnosis of which type of corneal dystrophy the patient has.
132
That's done by the ophthalmologist.
133
Your job is to suggest
134
that this patient may have a corneal dystrophy to rule out
135
any other possible causes of corneal haze such as keratitis
136
and then to identify these patients and send them off to the ophthalmologist.
137
There's very little you can do for corneal dystrophies in a clinical setting and the condition itself is not an emergency.
138
So this might be a patient that
139
if they say oh I've only noticed it for one or two days you might get a fluorescein stain on.
140
But if they say they've had it for several weeks, maybe not.
141
It's probably going to be a corneal dystrophy.
142
Okay, keratotorus, this is also known as pellucid marginal degeneration,
143
is an idiopathic degenerative corneal condition characterized by abnormal thinning of the stroma.
144
And the stroma is part of the cornea.
145
So when the stroma thins, the corneus thins.
146
You also have a thinning of Baumann's layer and possibly other structures, but it's primarily the stroma.
147
And the bulk of this thinning happens below the horizontal midline of the cornea and then out along the periphery.
148
So if you think of a clock, you would think of
149
if you were to take out the inner circle of the
150
clock from about four o 'clock to eight o 'clock
151
so the the periphery on the bottom of the eye
152
and this shape creates an irregular astigmatism remember astigmatism is just due to an abnormally shaped lens
153
or an abnormally shaped cornea and the result of that is
154
that you're projecting different dimensions in different areas either in front on
155
or behind the retina and so this creates an irregular astigmatism so a patient presenting with new astigmatism, this is a possible diagnosis.
156
Typically, carototaurus affects both eyes, not just one.
157
The symptoms include gradual decrease in visual acuity, distorted images, symptoms that are consistent with astigmatism.
158
Oftentimes, the patient has seen an optometrist for glasses, but the prescription keeps changing because carototaurus,
159
pellucid marginal degeneration, is a progressive disease.
160
In some cases the patient will have extreme pain and those cases it will reflect a corneal perforation but that's rare.
161
So for diagnosis what you're going to do is a slit lamp examination
162
and you're going to do corneal topography
163
and the corneal topography will help you identify how thick the cornea is
164
and in which areas and so if you notice that the cornea is thinner, down at the bottom, along that four o 'clock to eight o 'clock line,
165
then your suspicion for cratitoris goes up.
166
The treatment, 88 % of these patients will be managed by eyeglasses or contact lenses.
167
They'll need frequent follow -up with an optometrist
168
because they're going to need changes in their prescription relatively frequently
169
or more frequently than most of us 12 % of these patients will be candidates for phototherapeutic keratectomy,
170
but the primary treatment for keratotaurus is eyeglasses or contact lenses.
171
Keratoconus is an idiopathic degenerative disorder of the cornea characterized by degeneration of the peripheral corneal structures.
172
So if you think of the cornea as a globe,
173
as a dome if you're degenerating all the area around it with the exception of the middle then
174
that ball that globe is going to turn into a pyramid
175
and this is where we get the word keratoconus so so
176
that change in shape will certainly cause refractory issues remember
177
that the cornea has a refractory index of about 40 45 to 50 diopters
178
so as the shape of the cornea changes it's going to
179
cause refractory issues can cause astigmatism as well as monocular diplopia most commonly keratoconus is diagnosed in the adolescent
180
years.
181
So the symptoms are distortion of images, decreased visual acuity at all distances,
182
monocular diplopia, difficulty with night vision, and halos.
183
And again here we're going to do a slit lamp examination for corneal topography.
184
We want to get a good idea of what
185
that cornea looks like because a coratotaurus versus a coratoconus versus a normal cornea look completely different.
186
And the treatment here, there's abundant options.
187
Contact lenses can be used, special contact lenses, to scleral lenses, to several different types of surgery, including also corneal transplant.
188
So here's an example of keratoconus.
189
If you look up really closely, you can see that this cornea is relatively normal on the front,
190
but it's thinned out along the sides.
191
and it makes that cone shape.
192
It's not a perfect cone, but you can see where they get the word keratoconus.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
