Abstract

To report a case series with topical anesthetic abuse and to define the clinical progression of the disease. Six eyes of three topical anesthet- c abuser patients with various corneal abnormalities are reviewed. Signs of the disease are presented in order to document the natural progression of the disease. A report was filed to the General Directorate of Pharmaceuticals and Pharmacy, Ministry of Health, Ankara, Turkey describing the outcome of uncontrolled use of topical anesthetic. Topical anesthetic abuse can result in serious corneal complica- ions such as corneal epithelium defect, ring keratitis, stromal infiltrate, hypopyon, superficial and deep corneal vascularization, corneal ysis, and at last spontaneous perforation. The General Directorate of Pharmaceuticals and Pharmacy issued that topical anesthetics can only be prescribed by an ophthalmologist up to four boxes a month, the prescription must be kept for one, year and criminal action will be taken against pharmacies disregarding these provisions.

Özet

Topikal anestetik alışkanlığı olan bir vaka serisini bildirmek ve hastalığın klinik progresyonunu tanımlamak. Anestetik kullanma alışkan- lığı ve çeşitli kornea bozukluğu olan 3 hastanın 6 gözü gözden geçirildi. Hastalığın doğal gidişini belgelemek için hastalığın belirtileri sırayla anlatıldı. Sağlık Bakanlığı ilaç ve eczaneler genel direktörüne kontrolsüz topikal anestetik kullanma alışkanlığının sonuçlarını tanımlayan bir rapor gönderildi. Topikal anestetik alışkanlığı korneal epitel defekti, ring keratit, stromal infiltrat, hipopiyon, yüzeyel ve derin korneal vaskülarizasyon, korneal erime ve son olarak spontan perforasyon gibi çeşitli kornea komplikasyonlarıyla sonuçlanabilir. İlaç ve eczaneler genel direktörü topikal anestetiğin sadece bir oftalmolog tarafından ayda dört kutuya kadar reçete edilebileceğini, reçetenin bir yıl boyunca saklanması gerektiğini ve bu koşullara uymayan eczanelere karşı yasal düzenleme uygulanacağını yayınladı.
