Therapy of experimental herpetic keratitis with IDU and fluorescent light: A negative study.

In vitro studies by workers in basic fields of biology have shown that halogenated DNA-base analogs are capable of sensitizing the DNA of various infectious agents in such a way that exposure to fluorescent light results in lethal damage to the DNA. In the present studies we treated experimental herpetic keratitis in rabbits with fluorescent light after using topical iododeoxyuridine (IDU) as a photosensitizing agent. So far as it clinical course was concerned, there was no significant difference between the disease treated with both IDU and light, and the disease treated with IDU alone. This was true in both the standard experimental disease and in the disease made more severe by prelimiary subconjunctival injection of corticosteroid.

Adverse external ocular effects of topical ophthalmic medications.

Medical and pharmacologic research of recent years has led to the development of many potent and efficacious topical ophthalmic medications. Unfortunately, many of these drugs are potentially toxic or allergenic, and their adverse effects have themselves become important external ocular diseases. This paper presents a classification of these adverse effects and provides a review of their etiology, pathogenesis, histopathology, diagnosis, and management. It is hoped that this information will be helpful to ophthalmologists in their efforts to anticipate, prevent, recognize, and treat drug-induced ocular problems and that it will serve to emphasize the importance of avoiding the ill-considered use of medications.
