Filamentary Keratitis And Botox Treatments
Filamentary Keratitis is a condition of the eye
. It involves the formation of epithelial filaments (cells and/or mucous) of varying lengths and sizes on the surface of the cornea. This can be a chronic (recurring) issue with sometimes debilitating results. The results of this condition vary from patient to patient, but may include mild discomfort to extreme pain, blurring of vision, the sensation of foreign bodies, mucous development, redness and much more serious degenerative eye diseases, including the lose of sight completely. Superficial keratitis is as the name suggests, on the superficial layers of the cornia and generally leaves no scarring. Deep keratitis on the other hand penetrates further and will leave scars that can impair vision.
The exact origins of the condition are unclear. As the official journal of The College of Family Physicians of Canada explains it, The exact pathogenesis of FK is unclear.1,4 Zaidman et al4 hypothesized that an underlying process damages the basal corneal epithelium, basement membrane, or Bowman layer, leading to focal areas of basement membrane detachment. With time and mechanical shearing of the eyelids, these areas become elevated and act as receptor sites for mucous and degenerated epithelial cells. Once established, corneal filaments are firmly attached to the underlying epithelium and the friction between them and the upper lid results in epithelial tears, pain, and inflammation, leading to further filament formation.
There are many forms of keratitis within the eye. Filamentary Keratitis somewhat rare and combined with the fact that causes are not fully determined, there are many courses of treatment that sufferers must try to remove or at least relieve symptoms. Any combination of saline, anti-inflammatories, mucolytic agents, special contact lenses, topical medication and number of other treatments. The trouble is that for some people the sometimes extremely painful symptoms of this condition are treated by reagular treatments. For those who are at their wits end looking for reduction of pain and other symptoms there may be a new avenue of treatment available soon.
BOTOX is certainly a very well known product and its common uses are well know by people. Whether you think the traditional uses of this product are negative or positive it has been increasingly used to treat other conditions and ailments as further testing is done with the project. Within the last year or two Botox has been found to be of use in combating chronic migraine headaches. It has also been used to reat chronic sweating, muscles spasms and many other issues. The results have been quite positive. Most recently however, Botox has been showing great results in treating Filamentary Keratitis.
This study has been ongoing for nearly 2 years. Over that period of time there has been an approximately 88% success rate involve minor to major improvements. This is not a one-time fix as the standard tests have involved 4 or more injections with a evaluation period of 6-12 week increments. The Botox works to directly relieve eyelid pressure on the eye's surface and blinking frequencty which seem to help reduce the frequency of filaments. As always an administration of Botox should be carried out by an experienced and qualified dermatologist or doctor. Do your research ahead of time.
