➡️Overview of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS)
SJS is a serious condition often triggered by medications, characterized by flu-like symptoms, and progressing to a painful rash that can lead to the detachment of the top layer of the skin. It necessitates immediate medical attention and hospitalization.
➡️Chronic Phases and Ocular Impact
In the chronic phase, if the rash from SJS spreads to the eye, it can lead to inflammation, light sensitivity, whiteness over the cornea, redness, painful ulcers in the conjunctiva or cornea Dry eyes, and vision impairment.
➡️Role of Contact Lenses in Management
During initial phases or when surgery isn’t immediately feasible, hard contact lenses are utilized to manage persistent dryness, discomfort, and irregular corneal surfaces due to scarring or inflammation. Scleral lenses, in particular, provide a smooth refractive surface, reducing friction and enhancing both vision and comfort. They also aid in protecting the cornea and stabilizing the tear film, thereby alleviating symptoms like light sensitivity and blurred vision.
➡️Surgical Interventions for severe cases,
1. Amniotic membrane grafting
2. Mucous membrane grafting
3. Tarsorrhaphy
4. Temporary Keratoprosthesis (TKP)
These procedures aim to restore ocular integrity and improve visual outcomes.
➡️Cosmetic Solutions
Dr. Gunjan discusses advanced cosmetic procedures like corneal tattooing and options for artificial eyes, offering hope for patients who have lost vision permanently in affected eyes.
