Question 1
A 24-year-old soft contact lens wearer presents with excruciating right eye pain out of proportion to clinical signs, photophobia, and blurred vision after rinsing lenses with tap water. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy reveals radial perineural infiltrates and patchy stromal opacities. In vivo confocal microscopy identifies double-walled hyperreflective polygonal cystic structures. What is the first-line topical antimicrobial therapy for this condition?
Correct Answer:
Topical polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB 0.02%) or chlorhexidine 0.02%
Question 2
A 45-year-old agricultural worker presents with a painful red left eye 5 days after trauma from a tree branch. Slit-lamp examination demonstrates a dense central corneal infiltrate with feathery, indistinct margins, multiple satellite lesions, and a 1.5-mm hypopyon. Corneal scraping reveals septate hyphae. What is the initial topical treatment of choice?
Correct Answer:
Topical natamycin 5% suspension
Question 3
A 32-year-old patient presents with ocular redness, photophobia, and foreign body sensation in the right eye. Slit-lamp examination demonstrates a linear branching epithelial ulcer with terminal bulbs that stains brightly with fluorescein centrally and with rose bengal at the swollen margins. Corneal sensation is reduced. What is the most appropriate management, and which medication is strictly contraindicated?
Correct Answer:
Initiate topical ganciclovir 0.15% gel; topical corticosteroids are strictly contraindicated
Question 4
An 18-year-old male with progressive irregular myopic astigmatism shows inferior corneal steepening on Scheimpflug tomography with maximum keratometry (Kmax) progressing by 1.5 D over 6 months. Slit-lamp examination reveals a Fleischer ring and fine vertical Vogt striae. Corneal pachymetry at the thinnest point is 430 micrometers. What is the definitive treatment to arrest disease progression?
Correct Answer:
Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL)
Question 5
A 66-year-old female presents with bilateral blurred vision that is worse upon waking and improves gradually throughout the day. Slit-lamp examination reveals confluent central endothelial guttata with a 'beaten metal' appearance and early central stromal haze with microcystic epithelial edema. Endothelial cell density on specular microscopy is 650 cells/mm2. What is the surgical procedure of choice that replaces exclusively the diseased host layer while minimizing rejection risk?
Correct Answer:
Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK)
