Study Notes
Extraocular Muscles
- The oculomotor apparatus is formed by six extraocular muscles.
Zinn's Fibrous Ring
- Originates from the upper orbital fissure.
Posterior Ciliary Arteries
- Supply the inner layers of the retina and the ciliary body.
Central Retinal Artery
- Provides blood supply to the inner layers of the retina.
Optic Nerve
- Is a sensory nerve.
External Rectus Muscle Innervation
- Innervated by the abducens nerve (n. abducens).
Visual Analyzer Function
- The main function is binocular vision, which encompasses visual acuity, color perception, and light perception.
Visual Acuity Value
- Visual acuity of 1.0 corresponds to a visual angle of 1 minute (1 min) for distinguishing details of optotypes in a visual acuity chart.
Visual Acuity Calculation
- Visual acuity of 0.1 is the result when a patient can distinguish the first row of optotypes from a distance of 1 meter.
Accommodative Asthenopia
- Most commonly associated with hypermetropia, myopia, or presbyopia.
Acute Iridocyclitis First Aid
- Instillation of atropine solution.
Ectropion Definition
- Ectropion is the inversion of the ciliary edge of the eyelid.
Blepharitis Symptoms
- Decreased visual acuity is not typically a symptom of blepharitis. Signs include itching, burning, eyeball injection, and eyelid edge hyperemia.
External Hordeolum (Stye)
- Inflammation of the Zeiß glands.
Chalazion
- Chronic inflammation of the Meibomian glands.
Malignant Eyelid Tumors
- Basal cell epithelioma is a malignant tumor of the eyelid; adenocarcinoma is also a possible malignant tumor.
Conjunctivitis Symptoms
- A marked decrease in visual acuity is not a characteristic symptom of conjunctivitis.
Color Blindness (Protanopia)
- Patients with protanopia cannot distinguish red.
Ptosis Cause
- Ptosis of the upper eyelid can be caused by oculomotor nerve (n. oculomotorius) paralysis.
Tear Properties
- Lysozyme in tears has bactericidal properties.
Amblyopia
- A violation of binocular vision.
Diopter Definition
- A diopter is the refractive power of a lens with a focal length of 1 meter.
Lens Refractive Power Calculation
- A lens with a focal length of 0.5 m has a refractive power of 2.0 diopters (D).
Corneal Erosion Staining
- A tree-like pattern during staining indicates herpetic keratitis.
Alkali Burns Characteristics
- Alkali burns cause colliquation (liquefaction) of proteins and tend to penetrate deeper into tissues than acid burns.
Hypopion
- A symptom of a creeping corneal ulcer, characterized by pus accumulation in the anterior chamber of the eye.
Sympathetic Ophthalmia Onset
- Sympathetic ophthalmia occurs at least 2 weeks after an injury.
Hyphema
- Accumulation of blood in the anterior chamber of the eye.
Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma
- Presents as progressing bilateral increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) but not associated with immediate acute attacks or asymmetric progression. Glaucoma excavation of the optic nerve is a defining sign.
Homonymous Hemianopsia
- Caused by damage to the visual tracts.
Methods of Visual Field Research
- Perimetry and campimetry are methods of visual field research.
Peripheral Concentric Visual Field Narrowing
- A symptom of optic nerve atrophy.
Severe Myopia Complications
- Retinal detachment is the most severe complication of high-grade myopia.
Eye Anterior-Posterior Axis
- The average anterior-posterior axis length of an adult eye is 24 mm.
Lens Characteristics
- The lens is a biconvex, transparent, and elastic formation, fixed to the ciliary body with zonular fibers.
Post-Mydriatic Symptoms
- Redness, pain in the eye with radiation to the head, and decreased visual acuity after instillation of mydriatics suggest iridocyclitis.
Hypopion Description
- Hypopion is the accumulation of white-yellow pus in the anterior chamber of the eye.
Iridocyclitis Complications
- Secondary glaucoma is a potential complication of iridocyclitis with pupil overgrowth.
Panophthalmitis Treatment
- Evisceration is a surgical treatment option for panophthalmitis.
Anterior Uveitis (Iridocyclitis)
- Inflammation of the iris and ciliary body.
IOP Levels
- Watery humor and its circulation affect the IOP level.
Initial Uncomplicated Glaucoma Vision Changes
- Changes usually manifest as a narrowing of the visual field from the upper-nasal side and increasing to a condition of concentric narrowing of the visual fields.
Corneal Creeping Ulcer Etiology
- Corneal creeping ulcers are mainly caused by bacterial infections.
