Study Notes
Key Terms in Ophthalmology
- Anisocoria: A condition characterized by unequal sizes of the pupils, which can indicate neurological issues or other ocular problems.
- Visual Ability to Distinguish Shapes: Known as "form perception," this refers to the capability to recognize and differentiate shapes visually.
- Ankyloblepharon: A condition where eyelids are fused together, either partially or completely, affecting eyelid function and appearance.
- Albinism: A genetic condition resulting in a lack of melanin, leading to lighter skin and hair, and often associated with vision problems such as nystagmus or photophobia.
- Accommodation: The eye's ability to change its focus from distant to near objects by adjusting the lens' shape, allowing clear vision at various distances.
- Anophthalmia: A congenital condition where one or both eyes are absent from birth, affecting visual perception and development.
- Anterior Chamber: The fluid-filled space within the eye located between the cornea (anteriorly) and the iris (posteriorly), playing a vital role in intraocular pressure and nourishment.
- Aphakia: The absence of the lens from the eye, which can result from surgery or congenital conditions, affecting focusing ability.
- Lenticular Subluxation: A condition where a visible crescent is seen between the iris and lens equator due to the lens being improperly positioned within the eye.
- Refractive Error: A visual impairment, such as myopia or hyperopia, where the eye does not properly focus light on the retina, leading to blurry vision.
- Buphthalmos: Enlargement of the eye often associated with glaucoma, indicating increased intraocular pressure.
- Blepharitis: An inflammatory condition that specifically affects the eyelids, causing irritation, redness, and crusting.
