The Albury-Wodonga syndrome. A tale of two cities
Abstract
Purpose:
An epidemic of acutely painful eyes having a seasonal restriction and an apparent response to topical indomethacin, is described.
Methods:
From patients seen in a rural private practice, the clinical picture of this acute syndrome and the use of indomethacin drops is described.
Results:
A favourable response to topical indomethacin in 21 patients is documented.
Conclusion:
Topical indomethacin is worthy of further trial and investigation in the management of the Albury-Wodonga syndrome, harvester's eye, Christmas eye or seasonal corneal ulcer.
