Study Notes
Diabetic Retinopathy
- Develops in almost all patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) and in 50% to 80% of patients with type 2 DM of 20 years’ duration or more.
- Number-one cause of blindness in middle-aged individuals and the fourth leading cause of blindness overall in the United States.
- Complications include retinal detachment, vitreous contraction, and fibrovascular proliferation and hemorrhage.
Bony Orbit
- Formed by seven bones: frontal, sphenoid, zygomatic, maxillary, lacrimal, palatine, and ethmoid bones.
- Openings in the orbit include the superior orbital fissure, inferior orbital fissure, and optic canal.
- Muscles attached to the orbit include the levator palpebrae superioris, superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus, lateral rectus, and superior oblique.
Orbital Muscles
- Levator palpebrae superioris: elevates the upper eyelid
- Superior rectus: elevates, adducts, and rotates the eyeball medially
- Inferior rectus: depresses, adducts, and rotates the eyeball laterally
- Medial rectus: adducts the eyeball
- Lateral rectus: abducts the eyeball
- Superior oblique: medially rotates, depresses, and abducts the eyeball
- Inferior oblique: laterally rotates and elevates the eyeball
Neural Retina
- Composed of an outer retinal pigmented epithelium and a photosensitive region consisting of photoreceptive cells: rods and cones.
- Rods are more sensitive to light and respond to low light conditions, while cones are less sensitive to low light but respond to red, green, and blue regions of the visual spectrum.
Sympathetic Innervation of the Eye
- Postganglionic sympathetic fibers course along the internal carotid artery and ophthalmic nerve, and pass through the ciliary ganglion or along the long and short ciliary nerves to the eyeball.
- Innervate the dilator muscle of the pupil and the eyeball.
Blood Supply of the Orbit
- Ophthalmic artery supplies the orbit, including the eyeball, lacrimal gland, and eyelids.
- Muscular arteries supply the skeletal muscles of the orbit and smooth muscles of the eyeball.
- Supraorbital, dorsal nasal, and medial palpebrae arteries supply the forehead, nose, and eyelids.
Eye Structure
- Consists of the cornea, iris, lens, zonular fibers, and retina.
- The human ear consists of the external ear (auricle, external acoustic meatus, and tympanic membrane), middle ear (tympanic cavity, middle ear ossicles, and stapedius and tensor tympani muscles), and internal ear (labyrinthine wall and auditory tube).
