Study Notes
External Eye & Lacrimal Apparatus Assessment
-
Lacrimal Apparatus:
- Discharge: Ask about eye discharge, besides tears, from one or both eyes. Describe qualities of the discharge.
- Obstruction: Investigate if eye discharge is due to irritants or obstruction of the lacrimal apparatus.
- Medications: Determine if any medications being used can cause ocular side effects, including corticosteroids, lovastatin, pyridostigmine, or quinidine.
- Palpation: Palpate the lacrimal apparatus from the puncta to the nasolacrimal duct.
- Normal Findings: No drainage should be expressed from the puncta when palpating the nasolacrimal duct.
- Abnormal Findings: Expressed drainage from the puncta when palpating the nasolacrimal duct indicates blockage.
- Dacryocystitis: Consider this diagnosis if a blockage is found.
-
Cornea and Lens:
- Inspection: Inspect the cornea and lens.
- Normal Findings: The cornea is clear and smooth.
- Abnormal Findings: Note any roughness or dryness of the cornea and lens.
- Inspection: Inspect the cornea and lens.
