Triads & Syndromes in Ophthalmology Triads are usually a combination of three clinical features or signs, often used to describe various clinical conditions or diseases. Here we have compiled some of these triads used in ophthalmology. Bálint's Syndrome= Simultanagnosia+ Optic ataxia+ Ocular motor apraxia Behçet's Disease= Oral ulcers + Genital ulcers + Hypopyon uveitis Cerebral Whipple's Disease= Somnolence + Dementia + Ophthalmoplegia. Cone Degeneration= Progressive central acuity loss + Color vision disturbances + Photophobia. Congenital Glaucoma= Epiphora + Blepharospasm+ Photophobia ..read more

 Lines in Ophthalmology 1.Arlt’s Line  = conjunctival scar in sulcus subtarsalis in Trachoma. Horizontal line of conjunctival scarring in sulcus subtarsalis of superior palpebral conjunctiva. 2.Ehrlich-Turck Line  = linear deposition of KPs in uveitis 3.Ferry’s Line  = corneal epithelial iron line at the edge of filtering blebs. 4.Hudson-Stahil Line = Horizontal corneal epithelial iron line at the inferior one third of cornea due to aging. Iron deposition line in the corneal epithelium, which commonly seen in the junction between middle and lower third cornea (upper bord ..read more

 Eponyms and their characteristics. Eponym Location Description / context / pathophysiology Relevance Hudson-Stahli line Cornea Brown-green, horizontal line. Middle to inferior 1/3 cornea. Significance: iron deposition, usually with age. Enhanced by chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine. Not usually visually significant Waring line Cornea Stellate corneal epithelial iron deposition. After radial keratotomy (RK). Present in up to 80% of RK eyes. Not usually visually significant Khodadoust line Cornea Line on the corneal endothelium in an eye with a corneal ..read more

Rings in ophthalmology 1-Ring Keratitis: The hallmark of Acanthamoeba keratitis. 2-Kayser-Fleischer’s ring: Wilson’s disease 3-Corneal rust ring:  A small, reddish brown, circular opacity remained in the cornea after the removal of an iron foreign body. 4-Coats’ white ring:  Remnants of a foreign body. The remnants are fine iron deposits in the cornea. 5-Fleischer’s ring:  Visible all around the base of cone in Keratoconus 6-Pseudo-Fleischer’s ring:  Iron deposition can be seen in Hyperopia LASIK correction 7-Soemmering’s ring:  Early opacificatio ..read more
