ABSTRACT
A 21-year-old student with healed multifocal choroiditis involving the macula presented with difficulty in seeing distance and reading her college books. Based on microperimetr'y, the location of her preferred retinal locus and the position of new trained retinal locus (TRL) were identified. With multiple sessions of biofeedback training, her mean retinal sensitivity improved from 4.8 to 8.8 dl, distance vision from 3/60 to 6/36, and near vision from N32 to N8 in the right eye. At 6-month follow-up, her TRL position and visual acuity were found to be stable. This case report highlights that eccentric viewing training using microperimeter can significantly improve the efficiency of functional vision in patients with choroiditis.
ABSTRACT
The Concern for management of intraocular inflammation has led to a continuing search for newer and more effective drugs. Though entry of antimetabolites, cytotoxic agents for the treatment of intraocular inflammation came as a great boon, latest research has been going on to improve the treatment modalities. Drugs like biologicals shows effective anti inflammatory action in uveitis patients. The aim of the present work was to compile a bibliographic review of the diverse potentially anti-inflammatory drugs along with some recent patents in an effort to systematize the current knowledge on this topic. Also the present work intends to show the mechanism of action of different anti-inflammatory drugs which will be a good benefit in the treatment of uveitis.
