Ocular side effect of tinidazole: A rare case report

“…Diffuse distribution occurs in drug toxicities, viral keratitis. [ 2 ] In our case it was also diffuse distribution which confirms drug toxicity, corneal sensations were intact and not associated with viral systemic symptoms which means that there was no viral etiology, there is no dryness that is tear film meniscus was elevated in our case which confirms that it is due to toxicity and there was no history of usage of topical eye drops.…”

Involutional Entropion and Ectropion of the Lower Eyelid: Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors in the Elderly Population

“…9 Patients with a diagnosis of entropion or ectropion were examined by a single ophthalmic plastic surgery specialist to classify the type of entropion (congenital, cicatricial, or involutional) and ectropion (congenital, cicatricial, involutional, mechanical, or paralytic). 3 Data on associated ocular surface and pathologic eyelid findings, such as chronic blepharitis, 10 lateral canthal tendon laxity, 1,2 lower retractor laxity, 1,2 medial canthal tendon laxity, 1,2 and superficial punctate keratopathy 11 were collected from patients with involutional eyelid malposition, as described previously. 1,2,10,11 Patients with conjunctival hyperemia for Ͼ4 weeks were regarded as carriers of chronic conjunctivitis.…”

The Presence of Ankylosing Spondylitis and the Incidence of Subsequent External Eye Diseases: A Population-Based Cohort Study

“…For the treatment of DED, certain anti-inflammatory agents, such as steroids and cyclodporine, can be applied to treat DED, which reveal favorable outcomes on both signs and symptoms [ 22 , 23 ]. Regarding corneal disorders, superficial keratitis can result from infection, trauma or an inflammatory response [ 24 ]. Additionally, some of the DED cases would manifest with superficial keratopathy [ 24 ].…”

“…Regarding corneal disorders, superficial keratitis can result from infection, trauma or an inflammatory response [ 24 ]. Additionally, some of the DED cases would manifest with superficial keratopathy [ 24 ]. The etiology of corneal ulcers is mainly of infectious origin [ 16 , 25 ], but the micro-organism will also cause the ocular surface inflammation, and steroids can be applied to retard the inflammation under the cover of antibiotic agents [ 26 ].…”
