This week on Knock Knock Eye, Will talks about how some cities are good at handling snow and others are just awful at it, before getting into his main topic for the day, Infectious Endophthalmitis. An infection in the eye that is so dire, that each minute it's not treated can be devastating. Will explains how this infection can happen, why it's terrible, and what you can do to treat it. Not only medically, but emotionally as well.

My 4yr old niece had caught endophthalmitis in her eye and it went to her brain. Crazily enough she caught two to three seizures and had to get sent to the ER. but, she survived. Unfortunately she had to get brain surgery and a piece of her skull removed due to the infection spreading in her brain, causing swelling. But I thank the gods above that she survived this and is in full recovery. She is now going through physical therapy to help her walk again and gain mobility after being placed in an induced coma.

How scary for the child & her family! Did she loose her eyesight? Sincerely sending best wishes for her surgery outcome & recovery.❤

@HayatoPato 6 месяцев назад

@@norniea thank you so very much for your best wishes, I truly appreciate it! 💗 The surgery actually was done a few weeks ago, about two to three weeks ago, and it was a successful surgery! :)) Now she is in another hospital getting the physical therapy she needs with her mother. She didn't lose her eyesight, thank goodness.. but the doctors did say her behavior isn't going to be as normal as it was when she didn't get the infection. Her demeanor seems more erratic now 😞 I assume it was because it was a traumatic time for her. She also has to wear a protective helmet on her head for a whole year because they've removed that piece of skull from her head, and she will be placed with a new plate at the area within the year after! But over all she's now healthy and is doing great.

@@HayatoPato It's traumatic, and just like any brain injury, it can cause some changes in personality. Super happy that it sounds like she's doing well though. It's a very scary thing to go through.

@HayatoPato 5 месяцев назад

@@cc_snipergirl it is :'))!! Her demeanour is definitely much different than before.. but I think it was due to her fear of waking up and not knowing what was going on. She was even screaming at the doctor's. ( Though, she may have to go to other forms of therapy due to this new change in behavior) but thank you so much for your kind words I really do appreciate it. She's doing so well now, and my sister is doing her best to stay by her side until her full recovery :)) 💖

Once someone before me had not put 2 pieces of ventilator tubing together tightly and and as soon as I touched it, the tubing came apart and the water in the tubing splashed in my face. It was gross, but I had my glasses on and washed my face very thoroughly. I was lucky; the patient had MRSA but I didn't get it.

In my early days has an electrician, I've had my fair share of Steel shavings from drilling out metal boxes and up in my eye that bounced around my safety glasses, the same goes with wood chips. Fortunately I've been able to remove all of them and never felt that I needed to go see anybody for an eye cleaning. Since then I have taken more care with eye protection, and I push it on the guys that I supervise because I don't want them to make any of the dumb mistakes I did maybe I just got lucky.

My 10 m.o. baby boy had pars plana vitrectomy to treat persistent vitritis two weeks ago... and during the surgery they found an epiretinal membrane that they have managed to peel off. I got super emotional when I realized you are talking about the PPV. .. And then you go and say that the next most risky eye surgery infection-vize is cataract surgery... and my boy was born with suuuuper dense cataracts and had the surgery done at 10 weeks old. As someone who is thrown into the deep end of the eye problems pool via my baby, I love this series. You explain things so professionally yet plainly. P.S. Get that eye model already.

I lived in Lebanon, OR (1 hour south of Portland) the winter of '16-'17. I'm from Idaho and was happy when we got ~8 inches (~17cm). Of course it wasn't just snow. It was a snow/rain/snow/rain layer cake of doom on the roads. I had a 4 wheel drive vehicle with all my snow experience and I was sliding around. I had to keep my hospital nurse roomie home from work that night because she had only Oregon rain driving experience and worked 1 hour away. She was shocked when her work agreed when she said "my friend from Idaho says I don't get to come in tonight?" I spent the night teaching her about the difference between rain and snow driving and she had me get chains for her Honda Civic the next day. She came home the next morning😮 because she saw ALL the cars off the road and her coworkers told her the horror stories from the night before. She was glad I kept her home. 😊

We had one at home when I was growing up. My grandmother worked for Cenco Scientific (whose primary business was supplying school lab equipment) and would send us factory rejects that didn't have anything obvious wrong with them. By the time I was in highschool I caught onto the benefits of donating items that the school didn't have, but by that time my grandmother had retired and so donations were just regifting things that were never going to be used at home. Lots of test tubes, rubber stoppers, slides and cover slips, microscope objective lenses, ...

I had PRK surgery, terrible experience felt like cattle being ushered through the office to get the procedure done. They wouldn't give me pain meds after, said it wouldn't heal well if i took anything. It was the most excruciating pain I've ever felt in my life. I was in a dark room for 3-4 days. It took about a week for them to stop hurting if i recall.... Felt like something was really wrong with the whole situation. I never went back for recheck of my vision or if my vision was even improved.

@R0gue6729 6 месяцев назад

Oh and during the procedure, on the second eye I suddenly felt a sharp pain when Dr said I shouldn't feel anything. In an alarmed voice he said "DON'T MOVE YOU DON'T WANNA DO THAT". I have dry eye from hell now. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and my eyes are dry I can't open them I have to take it slow.... It's been four years. I should go somewhere to get them looked at but ugh I just can't stomach it

I have a macular hole and because of my severe myopia, i had to see a specialist at University of Michigan. Unfortunately that specialist had to refer me to another that dealt with severe myopia. I dont know why they sisnt do that in the first place; however,this doctor said from my initial OTC scan to that day's scan, my eye was healing itself. I was skeptical but we agreed no surgery and just keep coming back every month (2 1/2 hr drive one way). So my last appt was about 2 months ago and I was ok to come back in three months. My vision is not good in that eye but i can and see off to the side. My other eye has been doing all the work so really not much of an issue. I understand NOW why the specialist recommended no surgery. I just wanted the best outcome. Now if i have a retinal detachment, that doctor is load me up with antibiotics so i am peeing antibiotics. Ugh another fear added to my list 😂

But when it does, HOOBOY, what a clown show. Once there was a rumor of snow in Memphis at 8:00 am, and schools were closed in Nashville before the snow got there. It was still a clown show. At that time I had a '58 VW Bug and was able to get around and drive with no problem, and since I had learned to drive in West Virginia - where snow is expected - I just drove around those slid-into-the-ditch autos and laughed.
