    Study Notes

    Eye Physiology and Disorders

    • Pupillary size changes in response to light and the effort of focusing on a nearby object.
    • Direct reaction to light: a light beam shining onto one retina causes pupillary constriction in that eye.
    • Consensual reaction to light: pupillary constriction in the contralateral eye when a light beam shines onto one retina.
    • Pupillary size changes in response to focusing on a nearby object is called accommodation.
    • The cranial nerve responsible for pupil light reaction, constriction, convergence, and accommodations is the oculomotor nerve (CN III).
    • The parasympathetic nervous system controls pupil constriction, while the sympathetic nervous system controls the dilation of the pupils and raising of the upper eyelids.

    Presbyopia

    • Presbyopia is a type of refractive error caused by a loss of elasticity in the lens of the eye, occurring typically in middle and old age.
    • It is commonly known as age-related farsightedness or long-sightedness.
    • The main cause of presbyopia is the loss of elasticity in the lens of the eye, which makes it harder for the lens to focus on close objects.

    Vision Loss

    • Gradual vision loss is usually caused by cataracts, glaucoma, or macular degeneration.
    • Sudden, painful unilateral loss of vision can be caused by optic neuritis, corneal ulcer, acute glaucoma, or uveitis.
    • Acute angle closure glaucoma is a sudden, painful loss of vision.
    • Central vision loss can be caused by macular degeneration.

    Eye Conditions

    • Hordeolum or sty: a painful, tender, erythematous infection in a gland at the margin of the eyelid.
    • Treatment for hordeolum or sty: usually resolves on its own, but warm compresses can help.
    • Pterygium: a triangular thickening of the bulbar conjunctiva that grows slowly across the outer surface of the cornea, usually from the nasal side.
    • Hemianopsia: unilateral loss of half of the visual field, often seen in stroke patients.
    • Sub-conjunctival hemorrhage: a condition caused by severe coughing, choking, or vomiting, which increases venous pressure.

    Color Vision

    • The most common type of color vision abnormalities are sex-linked congenital red-green deficiencies.
    • Color vision abnormalities are linked to gender.

    Other Eye Conditions

    • Lagophthalmos: a condition where the eyelids fail to close, exposing the corneas to serious damage.
    • Causes of lagophthalmos: neuromuscular palsy, trauma, and thyroid eye disease.
    • Anisocoria: a difference in pupillary diameter ≥0.4 mm without a known pathologic cause.
    • Acute narrow-angle glaucoma: a sudden, painful unilateral loss of vision caused by a sudden increase in intra-ocular pressure due to aqueous humor drainage block.
    • Open-angle glaucoma: the most common form of glaucoma, characterized by the preservation of the normal spatial relation between the iris and cornea, along with fully lit iris.
    • Papilledema: swelling of the optic disc and anterior bulging of the physiologic cup associated with increased intracranial pressure.

    Macular Degeneration

    • Two types of macular degeneration: dry and wet.
    • Dry macular degeneration: more common but less severe.
    • Wet macular degeneration: less common but more severe.
    • Main cause of poor central vision in older adults: macular degeneration.
