-
-
Enucleation
removal of the eye
-
PERRLA
Pupils equal round and reactive to light and accomadation
-
Lacrimal apparatus
Secrete distribute and drains tears to cleanse and moisten the eye
-
acqueus humor
clear fluid that sits in anterior cavity of eye. assists in maintaining intra occular pressure
-
refraction involves
enters and leaves cornea, enters acqueous humor, enters and leaves lense, enter vitreous humor
-
near sighted
- myopia
- occurs if the eyeball is too long or the cornea has too much curvature
-
-
far sighted
hyperopia, eyeball is too shorts or cornea has too little curvature
-
norm intraoccular pressure
11-21
-
hypotomy
low intraoccular pressure less than 5
-
ocular hypertension
high intraoccular pressure >21
-
gonioscopy
measures the anterior chamber of eye pressure
-
shimers test
tear production test
-
corneal staining
looks for corneal tears
-
achromatopisia
color blindness
-
amsler grid
test for depth perception using grid. looks for disturbances of macula and retina
-
floursecien angiography
checks for blockages using dye. issues from cancer, diabetic retinopothy etc
-
glaucoma
causes blindness, increased intraoccular pressure
-
gyrate atrophy
rare heridity disorder
-
best disease
gradual vision loss, macular dystrophy, yellow or orange lesions in the macula
-
arcus
fat deposits around cornea
-
Dacryostenosis
blocked tear duct
-
opthamlia neonatorum
- conjunctivita, or inflammation of eye in newborn
- can be caused by
- STD
- blocked tear ducts
- bacteria from moms skin (staph)pseudomonas (bacteria from moms GI tract)
-
retinoblastoma
cancerous tumor that originates in retina of newborn, rare conginital disorder
-
amblyopia
- lazy eye (most common vision problem)
- treat with
- eye patch (works best)
- special glasses
- surgery
-
pupils should react to light in what way
dialate in dim light and for far vision, constrict in bright light light and for near vision
-
astigmatism
- causes blurred vision
- due to irregular shape of the cornea or an irregular curvature of the lens inside the eye
- prevents light from focusing properly on the retina so vision is blurred at any distance
- hereditary
- from birth
-
Trachoma
- chronic conjunctivitis caused by chlamydia
- significant cause of blindness
- contagious
-
3 layers of cornea
- epithelium stroma (90%)
- endothelium
- then outside layer
-
keratitis
- inflammation to the cornea, scarring of the keratitis can lead to blindness
- causes
- tearing
- pain
- gritty sensation
- decreased acuity
- spasms
- discharge
-
corneal ulcer
disrupts the clarity of the cornea which is vital to focusing of light on the retina
local necrosis of the cornea may be caused by trauma, infection or the misuse of contact lenses
-
Corneal dystrophies
accumulation of cloudy material in part or parts of the normally clear cornea
-
keratoconus (most common)
- progressive thinning of the cornea typically affecting teens and young adults
- treatment corneal transplant
- pr laser surgery
-
what can misuse of anesthetizing drops cause
corneal sloughing
-
hordeolum
sty (painful abscess)
-
Chalazion
- granulomatous cyst or nodule of the lid
- usually no pain
- conjunctiva
-
treatment for eyelid disorders
- antibiotic ointments or drops
- warm moist compress
- I&D (incision and drainage)
