Toxic Anterior Segment Syndrome
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
In this era of topical cataract surgeries, where patients come and get operated within 15-20 minutes and walk with 20/20 vision from the hospital, there is a nightmare for ophthalmologists which is called endophthalmitis and Toxic Anterior Segment Syndrome(TASS). Despite an uneventful surgery patient may land in ophthalmologist’s outpatient department with decreased vision the next day because of TASS. Mild cases respond to treatment but severe cases may end up losing vision and may require further intraocular surgeries. Thus, steps should be taken to prevent this monstrous disease from happening. This article reviews how to diagnose, treat and prevent TASS.
