Study Notes
Cataract Surgery
- Cataract surgery is performed on the lens of the eye.
Diabetic Manifestations
- Exudates and hemorrhages are ocular symptoms of diabetes mellitus (DM).
Insulin Production
- Insulin is produced in the pancreas.
Adrenaline Production
- Adrenaline is secreted by the adrenal glands.
Safety Glasses Requirement
- Architects are not required to wear safety glasses while working.
Prednisone Use
- Patients using prednisone eye drops or oral medication must reduce the dose as directed.
Visual Field Test Instruction
- Instruct patients to focus on the large light in the bowl during the Humphrey Visual Field test.
Eyelash Removal
- The process of removing an eyelash due to trichiasis is called epilation.
Treatment for Acne Rosacea and Blepharitis
- Treatment options include oral antibiotics, lid scrubs, and warm compresses.
Pressure Patch Application
- A pressure patch should extend from the forehead to the cheekbone.
HIPAA Regulations
- It is false that informing patients about a doctor's emergency delay violates HIPAA regulations.
Patient Classification
- A patient presenting with symptoms of pain, halos, and nausea should be classified as emergent.
Office Manual
- The manual outlining acceptable care standards during patient visits is called the Policies and Procedures Manual.
Vision Regulation
- Most states require the DMV/RMV form completion if a patient's vision is below 20/40.
Blood Pressure Readings
- A blood pressure reading of 150/170 indicates systolic over diastolic values.
CPR Guidelines
- The recommended compression-to-breath ratio in 2010 CPR guidelines for adults is 30:2.
IOL Power Calculation
- To calculate intraocular lens (IOL) power for cataract surgery, provide measurements of axial length and keratometry.
Anterior Chamber Depth
- Anterior chamber depth is the space between the back of the cornea and the front of the iris, measured at the limbus.
Corneal Thickness Measurement
- A pachymeter is utilized to measure corneal thickness.
IOL Master Calibration
- The IOL Master should be calibrated once a day.
Schirmer Test
- Schirmer strips are placed in the lower nasal fornix when testing tear production.
Tear Break-Up Time (BUT)
- A tear film break occurring under 10 seconds during testing indicates dry eyes.
Rose Bengal Staining
- Rose Bengal strips are used to detect damage in superficial corneal and conjunctival cells.
Medication Frequency
- A prescription of “qid” means the medication should be taken four times a day.
Glaucoma Medications
- Dorzolamide is categorized as a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor.
Drug Side Effects
- Headaches can be a potential side effect of medication.
Steroid Discontinuation Effects
- Prematurely stopping steroid drops may lead to a rebound effect in patients.
Fundus Imaging
- The posterior pole is part of the fundus image.
Structure of Trichiasis
- The lower eyelid is the structure photographed when documenting trichiasis.
Astigmatism Characteristics
- With-the-rule astigmatism has a vertical meridian as the steepest; against-the-rule has a horizontal meridian as the steepest.
- Irregular astigmatism features principal meridians that are not perpendicular, while regular astigmatism has perpendicular principal meridians.
A-Scans Purpose
- A-Scans can be used to measure ocular mass in addition to axial length.
GDx Function
- The GDx measures optic nerve fiber layers, providing assessments related to glaucoma.
HRT Reference
- The HRT compares individual patient likelihood for developing or progressing glaucoma against averages from Moorefield's Eye Hospital.
