The most severe chemical injuries are caused by strong alkalis and acids.
![Page 5: Offendings : 1. Solid 2. Liquid 3. Powder 4.Vapor](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681683b550346895dde0643/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Alkali BurnsStrong alkalis raise the PH of tissues and cause saponification of fatty acids in cell membranes and cellular disruption.

Alkali Burns Once the epithelium is damaged , alkali solutions readily penetrate the corneal stroma and they rapidly destroy the collagen fibers.
![Page 8: Offendings : 1. Solid 2. Liquid 3. Powder 4.Vapor](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681683b550346895dde0643/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Strong alkaline may also penetrate into the anterior chamber and produce tissue damage and intense inflammation.
![Page 9: Offendings : 1. Solid 2. Liquid 3. Powder 4.Vapor](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681683b550346895dde0643/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The limbus contains the putative corneal epithelial stem cells , when these are damaged, the denuded surface of the cornea is often resurfaced by neighboring conjunctival epithelium and causes conjunctivalization of the cornea and vascularization, inflammation and persistent and recurrent epithelial defeats.

Intraocular chemical penetration usually causes cataract and glucoma.

In the most severe cases, phthisisof the globe may occur.

Acids denature and percipitate proteins in tissues they contact.
Acid Burns
![Page 15: Offendings : 1. Solid 2. Liquid 3. Powder 4.Vapor](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681683b550346895dde0643/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Acidic solutions tend to cause less severe tissue damage than alkaine solutions.Because of the buffering capacity of tissues, as well as the barrier to penetration formed by percipitated protein.
Acid Burns

The most important step is immediate and copius irrigation of the ocular surface with water or normal saline solution. Topical anesthetic should be instilled.

It should be continued until the PH of the
conjunctival sac normalizes.
The conjunctival PH can be checked easily with a
urinary PH strip.
Therapy
![Page 18: Offendings : 1. Solid 2. Liquid 3. Powder 4.Vapor](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681683b550346895dde0643/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Severe chemical injuries can be approched by performing a paracentesis of anterior chamber removing 0.1- 0.2ml of aqueous humor and reforming the chamber with B.S.S to normalize the anterior chamber PH.
Therapy
![Page 19: Offendings : 1. Solid 2. Liquid 3. Powder 4.Vapor](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681683b550346895dde0643/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
the next phase of therapy should be decreasing inflammation , controling IOP, limiting keratolysis , and promoting reepithelialization of the cornea.
Therapy

Corticosteroids are excellent inhibitors of PMN function, and intensive topical steroids administration is recommended for the first 2 weeks following chemical injuries.
Therapy
![Page 21: Offendings : 1. Solid 2. Liquid 3. Powder 4.Vapor](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681683b550346895dde0643/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The steroid should be markedly reduced after 2 weeks , because of the ability of steroids to inhibit wound healing and potentiate infection.
Therapy
![Page 22: Offendings : 1. Solid 2. Liquid 3. Powder 4.Vapor](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062501/5681683b550346895dde0643/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
A deficiency of calcium in the plasma membrane of the PMNs inhibits their ability to degranulate , and both tetracycline and citric acid are potent chelators of extracellular calcium. Therefore , oral tetracycline has theroretical benefit for inhibiting PMN-induced collagenolysis.

Ascorbic acid is believed to promote collagen synthesis in the alkali-burned eye because ascorbic acid is required as a cofactor for this synthesis.
Therapy

It is recommended patient receive 2 grams of oral ascorbic acid (vitc) per day.

A bandage contact lens or tarsorrhaphy may be beneficial.

From uninvolved fellow eyes of patients limbal stem cell transplantation may be performed as soon as 2 weeks after injury if no signs of corneal epithelialization have appeared by that time.

COMPLICATIONS
• Non-healing epith defect/ conjuctivalization/ melting (stem)• Corneal opacities• Cataract• Glaucoma/ phthisis• Dry eye• Lid malposition/ symblepharon/ trichiasis: more scarring

Prevent Injuries Before They Happen Many eye injuries can be prevented. A majority of workplace eye injuries happen to workers who
were not wearing adequate eye protection.
