In this lecture, Dr. Vinita Rao discusses the different types of ophthalmic diseases, including sympathetic ophthalmia. She discusses the differential diagnosis and the various treatments available for each disease. She also discusses the overlap of symptoms between various ophthalmic diseases.

00:00:00 Dr. Vinita Rao will be speaking on vkh's disease and sympathetically-mediated ophthalmia. DNB from Shankar Netralaya Chennai will be discussing week-age disease and its association with sympathetic nervous system involvement.
00:05:00 This lecture discusses the history and clinical features of sympathetic ophthalmia, a rare but serious eye disease caused by sympathetic nervous system overactivity. The disease can progress to accelerated retinal detachment and other complications, and can be difficult to treat.
00:10:00 In this lecture, Dr. Vinita Rao discusses the different stages of VKH and Sympathetic Ophthalmia, highlighting the importance of various investigations such as ICT, OCT, and SSO City. She also explains the importance of treating VKH and Sympathetic Ophthalmia early to prevent long-term damage.
00:15:00 In this lecture, Dr. Vinita Rao discusses the various types of ophthalmic diseases, including sympathetic ophthalmia. She discusses the differential diagnosis and the various treatments available for each disease. She also discusses the overlap of symptoms between various ophthalmic diseases.
00:20:00 In this lecture, Dr. Vinita Rao discusses the various diseases that can mimic posterior scleritis, including syphilis, tuberculosis, and posterior scleritis due to a penetrating injury. She also discusses the importance of surveillance studies in detecting and managing sympathetic ophthalmia.
00:25:00 This lecture discusses how sympathetic ophthalmia can be caused by penetrating injuries, and how it can differ depending on the individual's genetics and medical history. The lecture also mentions a study that showed that there is no difference in the incidence of sympathetic opthamnia between sooginistrutectomy and social media methods.
00:30:00 This lecture discusses the causes of sympathetic ophthalmia (VKH), the various clinical features, and treatment options. It also covers the use of various diagnostic tools, including coronal vasculinity index (CVI) and coronal T2-weighted imaging (CT).
00:35:00 This lecture covers the causes and treatment of sympathetic ophthalmia, which is a rare condition in which the sympathetic nervous system overreacts and produces inflammation in the eye. The main treatment for sympathetic ophthalmia is corticosteroids, which help to reduce the inflammation and reduce the chance of vision loss. Additionally, immune suppressors are often used to reduce the chances of developing autoimmune diseases. Complications of sympathetic ophthalmia include cataract and glaucoma, along with optic atrophy and subretinal fibrosis. Treatment for sympathetic ophthalmia generally consists of corticosteroids, immunosuppressive agents, and cataract surgery.
00:40:00 The speaker discusses the post-operative visual equity for patients with sympathetic ophthalmia, noting that the main factors impairing visual recovery are a macular scar and optic atrophy. They recommend aggressive treatment with corticosteroids and immune suppressive therapy in order to achieve a good visual outcome.
00:45:00 Uvea is the layer of the eye that contains the pupil, and sympathetic ophthalmia is a disorder that can occur when the sympathetic nervous system becomes overactive. Uvea and sympathetic nerve fibers are close to each other, which can lead to overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system. This can cause various problems with the eye, including sympathetic ophthalmia.
00:50:00 This lecture covers the symptoms of VK disease, how to diagnose it, and the importance of early wound closure in cases of penetrating trauma. It also emphasizes the importance of preventive measures, such as corticosteroids, in order to reduce the risk of sympathetic ophthalmia.
00:55:00 In this lecture, Dr. Vinita Rao discusses the different types ofuveitis, VKH, and sympathetic ophthalmia, and how to treat them. She notes that in 95% of cases, patients have good vision or better, and that ocular complications are less common in Indian patients than in Hispanic patients. She also discusses the role of OCT angiography in diagnosing early cradle investment membranes in these diseases, and the importance of tapering corticosteroids when treating these conditions.

01:00:00 - 01:00:00

In this lecture, Dr. Vinita Rao discusses the uvea, a layer of the eye, and two conditions that can affect it: VKH and sympathetic ophthalmia. She explains the symptoms and treatment options for each condition.
