Corneal Laceration Seidel Positive (Photo)

seidelcornea.jpg

This photo is of a corneal laceration. This particular laceration was all the way through the cornea such that the aqueous was slowly leaking. The Seidel test (rubbing a fleuroscein strip across the wound) was positive.

If you haven’t seen an active leaking cornea, then you may want to check our our Seidel video … this photo will make more sense in moving pictures.

Hi
Great website.
I had a case where the child was hit with a Pencil in the eye. The AC was well formed and the sidel was positive, there was severe reaction in the AC (+4), and there was adherent leucoma. Va was 6/24.
Please can you tell the treatment choices in this situation.
THANKS
