In this episode of Knock Knock Eye, I reflect on turning 39 and how my medical history—surviving testicular cancer and a cardiac arrest—shapes my outlook on life and birthdays. Along with these personal reflections, I answer insightful YouTube comments, discussing topics like vision requirements for driving and Halloween eyeball decorations. I also dive into one of the scariest eye conditions for both patients and surgeons: Endophthalmitis, a dangerous post-surgery infection. Takeaways: Endophthalmitis: The Scariest Eye Condition: Dr. Flannery explains why Endophthalmitis is one of the most feared post-surgical complications, highlighting its symptoms, treatment, and the potential for severe vision loss. Reflecting on 39th Birthday: Dr. Flannery shares how surviving cancer and a cardiac arrest has shaped his perspective on celebrating another year of life, with both joy and a lingering sense of caution. Vision and Driving Laws: Responding to YouTube comments, Dr. Flannery discusses the surprisingly lax driving vision requirements in some states, like Wisconsin, and the potential dangers this poses to road safety. Halloween Eyeballs and Fan Comments: On a lighter note, Dr. Flannery enjoys a fun conversation with fans about his obsession with Halloween eyeball decorations, especially painting pumpkins and using inflatable eyes to bring a spooky twist to ophthalmology. Balancing Life as a Doctor and Comedian: Dr. Flannery talks about juggling two careers—ophthalmology and internet comedy—and how both bring him fulfillment, especially when he gets to engage with fans and answer their questions. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Contributor: Meghan Hurley MD Educational Pearls: What is Cellulitis? A common and potentially serious bacterial skin infection. Caused by various types of bacteria, with Streptococcus and Staphylococcus species being the most common. What is Preseptal Cellulitis and why is it more serious than facial cellulitis? Preseptal Cellulitis, also known as Periorbital Cellulitis, is a bacterial infection of the soft tissues in the eyelid and the surrounding area. This requires prompt and aggressive treatment to avoid progression into Orbital Cellulitis. How is Preseptal Cellulitis treated? Oral antibiotics for five to seven days. In the setting of trauma (scratching bug bites) Clindamycin or TMP-SMX (for MRSA coverage) and Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid or Cefpodoxime or Cefdinir. If there is no trauma, monotherapy with amoxicillin-clavulanic acid is appropriate. Check immunization status against H.influenzae and adjust appropriately. What is Orbital Cellulitis, how is it diagnosed, and why is it more serious than Preseptal Cellulitis? Orbital cellulitis involves the tissues behind the eyeball and within the eye socket itself. Key features include: Eye pain. Proptosis (Bulging of the eye out of its normal position). Impaired eye movement. Blurred or double vision. This can lead to three very serious complications: Orbital Compartment Syndrome. This can push eye forward, stretch optic nerve, and threaten vision. Meningitis given that the meninges of the brain are continuous with optic nerve. Endophthalmitis, which is inflammation of the inner coats of the eye. This can also threaten vision. If suspected, get a CT of the orbits and/or an MRI to look for an abscess behind the eyes. How is Orbital Cellulitis treated? IV antibiotics. Cover for meningitis with Ceftriaxone and Vancomycin. Add Metronidazole until intracranial involvement has been ruled out. Drain the abscess surgically. Usually this is performed by an ophthalmologist or an otolaryngologist. Admit to the hospital.

Auch bei Augeneingriffen sind Risiken bzw. Komplikationen möglich. Schwerwiegendste Komplikation ist wohl die Endophthalmitis, welche durch perioperativ eingeschwemmte Bakterien intraokular, entsteht. Mit dieser Studie wurde versucht, mit zusätzlich zum Standardprocedere (Iod-Povidon Waschung präoperativ) gegebenem Levofloxacin eine Verringerung der Vorderkammerwasserkontamination intraoperativ zu erreichen. Pro Gruppe (Kontroll- vs. Studiengruppe) jeweils 64 Patienten. Der Nachweis konnte nicht erbracht werden. Von den 128 intraoperativen Proben war nur eine Vorderkammerwasserprobe kontaminiert. Somit ist keine Aussage über die Wirksamkeit möglich. Jedoch wurde in einer parallel angefertigten Studie eine signifikante Verringerung der Standortflora erreicht, welche als Infektionsquelle angesehen wird. Somit ist von einem positivem Effekt auf die Vorderkammerwasserkontamination auszugehen.

Trotz der üblichen prophylaktischen Maßnahmen im Rahmen der Operationsvorbereitung können Erreger nachgewiesenermassen während der Operation ins Auge gelangen. Die perioperative systemische Gabe von Imipenem kann eventuell ins Augeninnere gelangte Erreger sterilisieren, zumindest bis zu einem bestimmten Maximum an Organismen. Im ersten Teil der vorliegenden Arbeit im tierexperimentellen Modell am phaken Kaninchenauge war es möglich, sämtliche mit 100 CFU S. aureus inifizierten Augen zu sterilisieren, falls diese 8 Stunden und eine halbe Stunde vor Infektion, sowie 8 Stunden nach Infektion intravenös Imipenem erhielten. Bei einer Erregermenge von 10 000 CFU waren noch 5 von 6 Augen steril, bei 10 000 CFU nur noch 3 von 6 Augen. Weiterhin scheint es möglich, den Glaskörper durch alleinige intravenöse Imipenemgabe sterilisieren zu können, wenn eine bestimmte Anzahl von intraokulären Keimen nicht überschritten wird. Im zweiten Teil dieser Arbeit wurden Augen mit 1000 CFU S. aureus infiziert und nach 24 Stunden intravenöse Therapie mit Imipenem oder der in der EVS verwendeten Kombination Ceftazidim und Amikazin begonnen. Nach 7 Tagen waren signifikant geringere Erregermengen in den mit Imipenem behandelten Augen festzustellen, als in mit Ceftazidim und Amikazin behandelten oder der unbehandelten Kontrollgruppe. 4 von 6 mit Imipenem therapierten Augen waren zu diesem Zeitpunkt steril. Ob es möglich ist, eine Endophthalmitis in einem derart frühen Stadium zu diagnostizieren und dann intravenös ohne intraokuläre Antibiotikaeingabe befriedigend therapieren zu können ist jedoch fraglich, denn in dieser Studie waren selbst in Augen mit negativem Kulturergebniss massive Entzündungszeichen festzustellen. Im dritten Teil dieser Arbeit stellte sich die intraokuläre Eingabe von Vancomycin und Amikacin als der alleinigen systemischen Imipenemgabe deutlich überlegen heraus, sowohl im Hinblick auf Erregermengen, klinischen Verlauf und histopathologisches Erscheinungsbild. Zu einem frühen Zeitpunkt der Infektion gegeben, können intraokuläres Vancomycin und Amikacin in diesem Tierexperiment relativ klare optische Medien ohne zusätzlich chirurgische Therapie erhalten. In dem hier durchgeführten Experiment erbrachte die zusätzliche intravenöse Therapie mit Imipenem keine messbare Verbesserung gegenüber der alleinigen intravitrealen Therapie mit Vancomycin und Amikacin.

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, a micro-organism which colonises plastic material was isolated in only 10 known cases of postcataract surgery endophthalmitis (PE) world-wide. We present characteristics, treatment and outcome in 26 cases of PE caused by S. maltophilia contaminated rinsing solution used during cataract surgery. Methods: 21/26 patients (81%) required pars plana vitrectomy and were treated with intravitreal, topical, subconjunctival and systemic antibiotics covering to the most likely pathogens. 2 days after surgery identification of S. maltophilia allowed change of therapy to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazol (TMP-SMX) 960mg bid i.v. and Ciprofloxacin 400mg -750mg bid p.o. for 10 days and TMP-SMX 960mg bid p.o. and Ciprofloxacin 250mg or 500mg bid p.o. for further 20 days, complemented with i.v. Fluorcortolone and topical treatment. Vision was examined before and during, 1 and 6 months after acute PE. Results: Before cataract surgery visual acuity was

Die akute postoperative Endophthalmitis stellt eine seltene, aber die Funktion und die Integrität des Auges bedrohende Komplikation nach ophthalmochirurgischen Eingriffen, meist Katarakt-Operation, dar. Häufig wird Staphylococcus epidermidis nachgewiesen. Für die Visusprognose entscheidend sind eine prompte Diagnose und schnellstmögliche Therapieeinleitung, um eine rasche Beseitigung der Erreger und Suppression der Immunantwort zu erreichen. Für die gezielte Therapie einer Staphylococcus epidermidis-assoziierten Endophthalmitis ist die Identifikation des entsprechenden Resistenzspektrums von besonderer Bedeutung, da in letzter Zeit zunehmend Resistenzentwicklungen dieser Spezies beobachtet wurden. Der genaue Zusammenhang zwischen Virulenz und Antibiotikaresistenzmuster der koagulasenegativen Staphylokokken ist bisher unklar. Unsere Hypothese, die auf dem klinischen Eindruck bei der Versorgung von Endophthalmitis-Patienten in unserer Klinik basiert, besagt, daß resistente Keime einen schwereren Krankheitsverlauf der Endophthalmitis induzieren, und dieser somit auf einer höheren Pathogenität dieser Erreger beruhen könnte. Es liegen bisher keine Daten über das funktionelle und histopathologische Erscheinungsbild einer experimentellen Endophthalmitis in Abhängigkeit von den Resistenzcharakteristika der jeweiligen Erreger vor. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden in einem Tiermodell Unterschiede im klinischen und funktionellen Verlauf sowie im histopathologischen Bild einer experimentellen Endophthalmitis untersucht, die durch antibiotisch unterschiedlich empfindliche Staphylococcus epidermidis-Stämme hervorgerufen wurden. Die Beobachtung des klinischen Verlaufs der Endophthalmitis ergab keine deutlichen Unterschiede im Schweregrad der Erkrankung bezüglich des vorderen Augenabschnitts. Jedoch konnten in Hinblick auf den Zeitpunkt der Funduseintrübung Differenzen zwischen den einzelnen experimentellen Guppen aufgezeigt werden. Im Verlauf der experimentell induzierten Endophthalmitis kam es bei den partiell- und multiresistenten Staphylococcus epidermidis-Stämmen zu einem früheren Zeitpunkt zu einer stärker ausgeprägten Entzündung und zu einer früheren Eintrübung des Glaskörperraumes durch Infiltration bis hin zum Verlust des roten Fundusreflexes als bei den vollempfindlichen Staphylococcus epidermidis-Stämmen. 12 Stunden nach Inokulation der Bakterien zeigte sich in den mit partiellresistenten Staphylococcus epidermidis-Stämmen infizierten Augen ein im Vergleich zur normalen Netzhautfunktion signifikant erniedrigtes ERG. Die mit vollsensiblen und multiresistenten Stämmen inokulierten Endophthalmitis-Augen waren dieser Gruppe hinsichtlich des Erhalts der Netzhautfunktion signifikant überlegen. 30 Stunden nach Infektion konnte lediglich in den mit vollsensiblen Bakterien inokulierten Augen eine elektroretinographische Antwort der Netzhaut registriert werden. Die histopathologische Analyse trug zu der klinischen und funktionellen Beobachtung bei, daß hinsichtlich des Entzündungsgrades aller untersuchten Gewebe des Auges ein milderes Bild der Endophthalmitis in den mit vollempfindlichen Keimen infizierten Augen und eine deutlichere Desintegration der anatomischen Strukturen in den mit resistenten Staphylococcus epidermidis-Stämmen infizierten Augen resultierte. Aus dem Vergleich der klinischen, histopathologischen und elektrophysiologischen Daten ergibt sich der Eindruck, daß in einem experimentellen Tiermodell einer nicht therapierten Endophthalmitis Resistenzen bei Staphylococcus epidermidis mit einem schwereren Krankheitsverlauf assoziiert sind. Die Studie zeigt, daß antibiotisch vollempfindliche Keime einen milderen Verlauf der Entzündung induzieren als partiell- und multiresistente Stämme von Staphylococcus epidermidis. Somit scheint die Schlußfolgerung gerechtfertigt, daß die spezifische Virulenz von Staphylococcus epidermidis mit dem Antibiotikaresistenzspektrum der einzelnen Stämme korreliert werden kann.
