Study Notes
Eye III & IV
- Presented by Joseph D. Klauer OD
- Topics include the management of myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia, strabismus, and amblyopia.
- Discusses orbital cellulitis diagnosis and management.
- Covers diagnosis and management of globe and orbital trauma, including corneal abrasion, foreign body, hyphema, blowout fracture, and globe rupture.
How We See
- The eye is a complex organ with multiple structures working together for vision.
- Key refractive structures include the cornea and lens.
Refractive Errors
- Refractive errors and presbyopia are common and correctable causes of vision impairment.
- The Standard Eye creates clear images by bending light to focus on the retina.
- Refractive errors occur when components of the eye's optical system fail to focus the image correctly.
- Presbyopia is a loss of near vision that occurs when the lens loses its ability to accommodate.
Myopia (Nearsightedness)
- Myopia is characterized by a long axial length of the eye.
- Patients with myopia can see near objects clearly but have difficulty seeing distant objects.
- Prevalence of myopia has approximately doubled in the past 25 years.
- Treatment involves corrective lenses (concave) and LASIK.
Hyperopia (Farsightedness)
- Hyperopia is characterized by a short axial length of the eye.
- Patients with hyperopia can see distant objects clearly but have difficulty seeing near objects.
- Common in refractive amblyopia.
- Treatment involves convex lenses and avoiding LASIK.
Astigmatism
- Astigmatism is an irregular corneal shape.
- It causes blurred vision, particularly at night or when looking at screens.
- Treatment involves corrective lenses.
- Corneal ectasia like keratoconus can be an associated finding.
Presbyopia (Loss of Near Vision)
- A non-refractive error.
- The lens loses its ability to accommodate focusing on near objects.
- Usually begins around age 40.
- Treated with corrective lenses, bifocals, reading glasses, or contact lenses.
Refractive/Binocular Vision Status
- Nystagmus: Involuntary back-and-forth eye movements disrupting fixation, caused by visual pathway issues, ocular control issues, or abnormalities in the eye muscles.
- Saccades: Fast, jerky eye movements.
- Pursuits: Smooth, slow following eye movements.
- Strabismus: Binocular misalignment, resulting in double vision (diplopia), confusion, and eye suppression possibly leading to amblyopia.
Strabismus ("Cross-Eyed")
- Types include horizontal, vertical, torsional, and combinations.
- Can be congenital or acquired.
- Misalignment of the eyes can be constant or intermittent.
- Condition may depend on gaze and other factors.
Actions of Extraocular Muscles
- A table showing the nerves, muscles, primary, secondary, and tertiary actions of extraocular muscles.
- Critical structures like superior oblique, medial rectus, and lateral rectus muscles and their coordinating nerves are detailed.
Strabismus
- Cover/uncover tests: Diagnosed with a cover/uncover test.
- Treatment: Options include refractive correction, vision therapy, and/or surgery, depending on the severity.
Amblyopia
- A reduction in vision in one eye, often due to differences between the two eyes.
- Not caused by structural issues or abnormalities in the eye itself but rather occurs in the visual cortex.
- Often due to dissimilar retinal images during the critical periods (birth to 7-9 years of age). Early detection and intervention is important.
- Multiple types of amblyopia exist.
Form Deprivation vs. Refractive Amblyopia
- Form deprivation amblyopia is caused by conditions like cataracts or ptosis.
- Refractive amblyopia is caused by differences in the refractive power between the eyes.
- Isometric or meridional types can also occur in refractive amblyopia.
- Treatment options include correcting refractive errors, eye patching, eye drop therapy, and managing the issue causing the vision difference between the eyes.
The Eye: Presenting Encounter
- Questions to consider to assess potential problems with the eye.
- Information on when to refer for emergency treatment of red eyes.
The Red Eye
- A list of potential causes for a reddened eye.
Conjunctiva
- Subconjunctival hemorrhage: Ruptured blood vessels in part of the eye (benign).
- Associated with certain conditions like ASA.
Corneal Abrasion
- Common injuries often from foreign objects or improper contact lenses.
- Symptoms include severe pain, tearing, and a red eye.
- Clinical evaluation involves ruling out major traumas, assessing visual acuity, and checking the eye for damage using a penlight and fluorescein stain.
- Follow-up is often daily observation to ensure healing.
Corneal Foreign Body
- Typically metallic, causing patient concerns of something in their eye.
- Examination involves anesthetic, slit-lamp assessment, fluorescein stain, and foreign body removal if needed.
- Care should be taken to address risk of infection and possible rust removal. Details on upper lid foreign body removal is also included.
Orbital Cellulitis
- Infection affecting the orbit (fat, eye muscles).
- Distinguishable from Preseptal (preorbital) cellulitis (anterior eyelid infection).
- Preseptal cellulitis does not involve the globe itself; orbital cellulitis does.
- Specific differences in clinical features and implications.
- Diagnostic tests involve CT scans of the orbit and nasal sinuses.
- Treatment with intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics targeting bacterial considerations. Considerations for culture challenges are included.
Orbital Trauma
- General, vision-threatening, and common types detailed along with injuries involving the eyeball, eyelids, and eye muscles.
Diagnosing Orbital Trauma
- Details on how to evaluate an injured eye, using the swinging light test, and assessment of visual acuity and/or afferent pupillary defects (APDs). Testing for issues with eye movement is also essential.
Chemical Eye Exposure
- Details on how to identify chemical exposures and address them.
- Differences in protocols between acid and alkaline substances addressed.
Hyphema
- Blood in the anterior chamber of the eye.
- This is frequently associated with trauma.
- Diagnosis requires a thorough eye examination and assessment of surrounding tissues.
- Risk of loss of vision or permanent damage to the eye is possible.
- Urgent referral might be needed depending on the severity.
Retinal Detachment
- A serious eye injury requiring urgent medical attention.
- Details of how to note symptoms such as floaters, flashes, loss of vision or part of vision and assess the injury for immediate treatment.
Open Globe Injuries
- Serious eye injuries requiring prompt stabilization, referral to ophthalmology, and prophylactic antibiotic treatment.
- Procedures to avoid applying pressure to the eyeball during assessment are included.
- Special considerations regarding eye injury should be followed unless the eye injury may be life-threatening.
Orbital Trauma- Vision Threatening
- Specific findings in patients with open globe injuries, including decreased visual acuity, affected pupils, and other visual problems.
- Includes evaluation of symptoms associated with external damage to the globe and/or the eye, and specific steps to manage these conditions.
Orbital Fracture
- Fractures of the bones surrounding the eye, most commonly from blunt force trauma.
- Includes common causes among different age groups, characteristics of specific conditions, and implications of fracture symptoms for treatment.
Orbital Fracture Exam Findings
- Specific signs such as pain, swelling, and other indicative issues of a fractured orbit.
Eye IV
- General presentation for Eye IV section.
Objectives (Eye IV)
- Objectives for the ocular disease section are listed.
Diabetic Retinopathy
- This is one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide.
- Chronic hyperglycemia causes tissue damage, resulting in abnormal permeability and neovascularization.
- There are different types including nonproliferative and proliferative, and both are managed using a variety of treatment options.
Diabetic Retinopathy - Presentation
- Presents as gradual blurring in patients, asymptomatic until the end stages,
- Important to screen annually due to this condition often showing up relatively late in the condition's progression.
- May be reversible if managed appropriately and diabetes brought under control.
Thyroid-Related Ophthalmopathy
- Autoimmune disorder affecting thyroid tissue and eye muscles.
- Significant risk factors.
- Symptoms include proptosis, lid retraction, and other visual issues.
Graves' Ophthalmopathy
- Specific signs and symptoms of eye involvement related to Graves’ disease.
