Study Notes
Eye Diseases and Conditions
-
Fine iridocyclitis: Pain in the visual field, decreased vision, precipitates on the cornea, miosis, pericorneal injection.
-
Fine conjunctivitis: Inflammation of the conjunctiva.
-
Complex attack of glaucoma: Advanced glaucoma.
-
Lacrimal sac phlegmon: Infection and inflammation of the lacrimal sac.
-
Fine episcleritis: Inflammation of the episclera..
Visual Perception
- Visual perception begins in the sensation of cones and rods: These photoreceptor cells detect light.
Corneal Erosion
- Tree-like defect on corneal staining: Suggests herpetic keratitis infection.
Eye Muscles
- Superior rectus muscle: Elevates the eyeball upward.
Acute Iridocyclitis
- Symptoms include: Photophobia, pericorneal injection, eyeball pain, lacrimation not macular edema.
Eye Structure and Nerve Fibers
- Retina has the largest number of sensory nerve fibers: Transduces light signals.
Ciliary Body and Iris Inflammation
- Joint involvement (inflammation): Due to anatomical proximity and shared vasculature & innervation of the ciliary body and iris.
Newborn Visual Acuity
- Newborn visual acuity: A few hundredths.
Glaucoma Management
-
Glaucoma visits: Every 3 months.
- Other: Also when iridescent circles appear before the eyes.
Lacrimal Tract Obstruction
- Treatment: Dacryocystorhinostomy.
Cataracts
-
Manifestations: Gradual decrease in visual acuity.
-
Additional Considerations: Rapid decrease in visual acuity, photophobia, changes in the eye's refraction.
Orbit Examination
- Methods include: Radiography, computed tomography (CT), perimetry, tonometry, biomicroscopy.
Iridocyclitis Treatment
- Treatments: Mydriatics, topical and systemic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), dexamethasone drops.
Superficial Tree-like Keratitis
-
Least indicated treatments: Pilocarpine, gentamicin, tobramycin.
- Most indicated treatments: Acyclovir, interferon.
Penetrating Eye Injury
- Necessary tests: Radiography (Komberg-Baltin technique).
Lacrimation
-
Increased lacrimation in: Obstruction of lacrimal pathways.
- Other: Not choroidretinitis, refractive errors, cataracts, or inversion of lacrimal points.
Keratitis
- Symptoms: Photophobia, eye pain, blepharospasm, lacrimation.
Field of Vision Narrowing
- Causes: Retinal detachment.
Hemeralopia
- Acquired hemeralopia can occur due to: Insufficient intake of vitamin A, liver disease, diabetes.
Congenital Dacryocystitis
- Treatment: Dacryocystorhinostomy.
Lagophthalmos
- Cause: Commonly oculomotor nerve paralysis (n. oculomotorius communis)
Eyelid Eversion/Inversion
- Ectropion: Eversion of the eyelid.
- Entropion: Inversion of the eyelid.
Lens Nutrition
- Lens nutrition: Ciliary body vessels.
Lens Refractive Power
- Resting refractive power: 20 Diopters. (18-20D)
Lens Nutrient Vessels
- Adult lens nutrition: Does not receive directly from blood vessels.
- Other: Ciliary body vessels.
Cataract Diagnosis
- Mature cataract: Absent fundus reflex, grey lens, correct light projection.
Age-Related Cataract Treatment
- Treatment: Surgical.
Stagnant ZN (Zonules)
-
Visual acuity in early stages: Does not change.
- Later: Moderately decreases, & significantly decreases.
Optic Neuritis
- Visual acuity: Significantly decreases
Acute Glaucoma Symptoms
- Symptoms exclude Miosis and direct light reaction.
Intraocular Pressure (IOP)
- Normal limit (Maklakov tonometer): 20 mm Hg.
Aqueous Humor Production
- Aqueous humor production: Processes of the ciliary body.
Penetrating Eye Injury First Aid
- First aid: Application of an eye patch and urgent transfer to a specialized eye trauma center.
UV Radiation Impact
- Primary effects: Cornea and conjunctiva.
Congenital Ptosis Complications
- Possible complications: Amblyopia.
Myotics
- Indications: Glaucoma. (Used to constrict pupils)
Chronic Purulent Dacryocystitis Complications
- Possible Complications: Lacrimal sac phlegmon, corneal ulcer.
Mydriatics
- Indications: Iridocyclitis.
Acute Glaucoma Treatment
- Treatment: Pilocarpine, diacarb
Pericorneal Injection
- Occurrence: Inflammation of the vascular membrane of the eye.
Nasolacrimal Canal Drainage
- Nasolacrimal canal opening: Lower nasal passage.
Cornea Layers
- Layers: 5 (Epithelium, Bowman membrane, stroma, Descemet's membrane, endothelium)
