Study Notes

Eye Examination & Anatomy

  • Ophthalmoscopy: Examines the inside of the eye using a magnifying instrument.
  • Vertex distance: Measures from the back lens surface to the front of the eye.
  • Fundus: Interior part of the eyeball visible during ophthalmoscopy.
  • Macula: Retinal area responsible for sharp, clear vision.
  • Optic disc: Junction of retinal nerve fibers forming the optic nerve.

Visual and Lens Properties

  • Visual acuity: Measures the eye's ability to discern fine detail.
  • Corneal edema: Swelling due to water retention in the cornea.
  • Spherical lenses: Have the same power across all areas.
  • Aspheric lenses: Incorrectly stated to provide a smaller field of vision; they actually expand it.

Contact Lenses & Lens Measurements

  • Conventional daily wear lenses: Used during the day and removed at night.
  • Lensometer: Measures back vertex power including sphere and cylinder.
  • 0.25 D: Smallest unit of lens measurement.
  • Plano lens: Has no refractive power.

Optical Measurements

  • Tonometer: Measures intraocular pressure, essential for glaucoma assessment.
  • Keratometry: Evaluates corneal curvature.
  • Retinoscopy: Assesses eye refraction using light reflection.

Eye Conditions & Treatments

  • Glaucoma: Progressive optic nerve damage due to increased intraocular pressure.
  • Cataract: Clouding of the lens, leading cause of blindness.
  • Diabetic retinopathy: Damage to retinal blood vessels due to diabetes.
  • Macular degeneration: Age-related condition damaging central vision.

Surgical Procedures

  • Cataract surgery: Lens removal, often replaced with an intraocular lens.
  • Glaucoma surgery: Lowers eye pressure by improving aqueous humor drainage.

Medications & Eye Drops

  • Proparacaine: A topical anesthetic used in ocular procedures.
  • Mydriatics: Medications that dilate the pupils.
  • Miotics: Drugs that constrict the pupils.

Eye Anatomy & Physiology

  • Cornea: Provides major refractive power of the eye.
  • Vitreous: Gel filling the eye, maintaining shape and allowing light passage.
  • Aqueous humor: Nutrient fluid for the lens and cornea.

Filing & Office Management

  • PHI: Protected Health Information under HIPAA regulations for health data privacy.
  • Triage: System prioritizing medical treatment based on urgency of symptoms.

General Knowledge & Abbreviations

  • gtt: Abbreviation for "drop."
  • p.o.: Refers to medications taken "by mouth."
  • qhs: Indicates medication given "at bedtime."

Eye Muscles Motion

  • Inferior rectus muscle: Responsible for moving the eye downward.
  • Superior oblique: Controls downward diagonal movement.
  • External/lateral rectus: Moves the eye outward.

Additional Instruments

  • Phoropter: Device used for determining spectacle correction.
  • Biomicroscopy: Utilizes slit lamp for detailed eye examination.

Visual Processing

  • Binocular vision: Ability to focus on an object with both eyes for a single image.
  • Visual fields: Overall visible area when the eyes are forward-focused.

Contact Lens Types

  • Monovision: Corrects one eye for distance, and the other for near vision, helpful for presbyopia.

Imaging Techniques

  • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): Non-invasive, imaging technique to view eye structures.
  • Fundus photography: Captures images of the eye's interior.

Important Definitions

  • Choroid: Layer behind the retina that absorbs excess light.
  • Ciliary muscle: Adjusts lens shape to control focus.

Testing Techniques

  • Tonometry: Assesses intraocular pressure for glaucoma risk.
  • Subjective refraction: Patient-dependent method determining eye correction needs.
