Study Notes
Eye Conditions and Anatomy
- Keratopathy: A disease affecting the cornea, crucial for vision clarity.
- Exophthalmos: Bulging of the eye from the orbit, commonly seen in brachycephalic breeds.
- Retinopathy: A disease impacting the retina, which can cause vision impairment.
- Proptosis: Complete displacement of the eye from its orbit, a serious condition.
- Distichiasis: A rare condition characterized by a double row of eyelashes.
Inflammations and Eye Disorders
- Uveitis: Inflammation of the uveal tract, including the choroid, ciliary body, and iris.
- Entropion: Inward rolling of an eyelid, potentially causing corneal abrasion.
- Buphthalmos: Excessive enlargement of the eyeball, often linked with glaucoma.
- Keratoconjunctivitis: Inflammation of both the cornea and conjunctiva, leading to discomfort.
Measurements and Optical Terms
- Tonometry: A method to measure intraocular pressure, essential for diagnosing glaucoma.
- Ophthalmoscopy: An examination technique using an instrument to visualize the fundus and intraocular structures.
- Electroretinogram (ERG): A recording of the retina's neural impulses, assessing retinal function.
Movements and Muscles
- Extraocular: Refers to muscles outside the eyeball responsible for eye movement.
- Miosis: The constriction of pupils, a response to light or close vision.
- Mydriasis: The dilation of pupils, which can be caused by various factors, including medications.
Additional Conditions and Observations
- Anisocoria: A condition of uneven pupil sizes, which may indicate underlying issues.
- Photophobia: Aversion to light, often a symptom of various ocular diseases.
- Heterochromia: A condition where the irises are different colors, usually congenital.
- Hyphema: Bleeding in the anterior chamber of the eye, generally requiring careful evaluation.
Eye Structure
- Sclera: The tough outer white layer of the eyeball, providing structural support.
- Limbus: The anatomical border between the cornea and sclera, important for eye health.
- Cornea: The transparent front part of the eye crucial for focusing light.
- Conjunctiva: The mucous membrane lining the eyelids and the globe of the eye.
Specialized Terms
- Blepharospasm: A muscular spasm of the eyelid, which can lead to difficulty in keeping the eye open.
- Synechia: Adhesion of the iris to the lens, which can complicate vision and ocular health.
- Epiphora: Overflow of tears onto the face, indicating possible tear drainage issues.
Professionals and Procedures
- Ophthalmologist: A medical doctor specializing in eye care and surgery, capable of diagnosing and treating various eye conditions.
- Nictitating membrane: The third eyelid, which provides additional protection and moisture to the eye.
Eye Conditions with Specific Structures
- Cataract: Opacity of the lens leading to decreased vision, often due to aging or injury.
- Dyscoria: A deformed pupil that may result from trauma or pathological conditions.
- Microphthalmia: A condition characterized by abnormally small eyes, potentially impacting vision.
This compilation covers essential terms, diseases, and anatomical features related to eye health, providing a concise reference for understanding ophthalmology.
