1. Surgery of the EYE Flashcards
hairs growing out of the meibomian gland openings
Distichia
hairs that grow from palpebral conjunctiva to contact the cornea
Ectopic cilia
eyelid margin inversion
Entropion
eyelid margin eversion
Ectropion
an incomplete blink
Lagophthalmos
eyes that are turned outward (laterally)
Exotropia
Part of the eye that is drainage for tears
Puncta
bacteria that grew in tears
Tear stains
if used in eyelids, it can cause tissue distortion & become a hazard to cornea if it loosen or shift in position
stiffer sutures
(polydioxanone, nylon)
Suture material for eyelids
Soft suture
* polyglactin 910 (absorbable)
* silk (non-absorbable)
result in a decrease in HR when there is a pressure in the globe
even when it is a superficial procedure, animal is still put in anesthesia so you would be able to do the procedure properly
Oculocardiac reflex
Congenital abnormalities in the eye
[ DDAE ]
- Dermoid cyst
- Distichiasis
- Ankyloblepharon
- Entropion
Acquired abnormalities in the eye
[ EHK PDL ]
- Eye worm
- Histiocytoma
- Keratoconjunctiva sicca (KCS)
- Prolapsed gland
- Descemetocoele
- Lagophthlamos
Suture for oculocardiac reflex
Polyglactin
* 10-0 (really small)
* 0.2 metric
* Vicryl (Polyglactin 910)
Anticholinergic - drugs that block and inhibit the activity of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh)
- cyst in the eye
- Can also happen in other parts of body w/ mucous membranes
- Endoderm attached to other part of body
- Can grow hair or tarsal gland
- Need to remove it
Dermoid cyst
- a double row of cilia (should be 1 only)
- 2nd abnormal line is usually directed towards cornea
- masakit sa mata
Distichiasis
- closing eyelids
- common in newborns, but should open up in a few days
- if does not open on its own = needs surgical intervention
Ankyloblepharon
- like effect of distichiasis
- curling of skin inwards
- hair should not touch the cornea
- hair grows inwards and brushes the cornea
- may worsen over time, so clinical disease may show up later in life
Entropion
Diseases & indications of eye (5)
- Chronic conjunctivitis
- Weight loss
- Corneal ulceration
- Age
- Chronic entropion
- Severe ectropion
tumorous based on the histiocytes
Histiocytoma
Chronic entropion in cats can commonly lead to the formation of a ____ ____
corneal sequestrum
Parasite in eyeworm that is not cured by a dewormer
Needs surgical intervention
Thelazia spp.
the 3rd eyelid gland (Cherry eye)
Prolapsed gland
- dry eyes
- tears are measured
- transposition of the salivary duct
- Surgery - address what caused it first
Keratoconjunctiva sicca (KCS)
bulging of the descement membrane
- do not cut of membrane
- let it heal by closing eyelid
Descemetocoele
- incomplete closure of the eyelid
- too big eyeballs
- tears won’t reach pupils
- common in brachycephalic animals
- need to close by reconstruction of eyelid so it can reach lower eyelid
Surgery
* add eyelid
* incise with scalpel
* overtime it will heal bigger
Lagophthalmos
(3) Surgical procedure for eyelids
- Canthotomy / Canthoplasty
- Tarsorrhaphy
- Blepharoplasty
(3) steps for preop for ocular surgeries
- Flush eye
- Rinse
- Stay suture
(1) Surgical procedure for conjunctiva
Conjunctiva flaps
Preop of eye that is not used anymore
eyelid speculum
