Anomalies Worksheet Flashcards
___ is defined as a group of ocular diseases usually marked by increased intraocular pressure, resulting in damage to the optic nerve and loss of visual field
Glaucoma
The condition of a person with an IOL (Intraocular lens) is known as:
Pseudophakia
A ___ is defined as any opacity of the normally clear crystalline lens or its capsule; partial or complete loss of transparency
Cataract
A ___ is an opacification and hardening of the central portion of the crystalline lens
Nuclear sclerotic cataract
The absence of the crystalline lens is called:
Aphakia
What is the condition whereby there is an elevation of the pressure in the eye above the range considered normal with no detectable changes in vision or damage to the structures of the eye?
Ocular hypertension
The procedure in which incisions flatten the periphery of the cornea is known as:
Radial keratotomy
A corneal flap is created and the inner corneal tissue is precisely reshaped with a laser. Air is then used to seal the flap. The name of this procedure is:
LASIK
The disorder in the retina in which the central portion of one’s vision is blocked as if a blurred area had been placed in the center of the picture is called:
Macular degeneration
___ is damage to the retina and is caused by fluid leakage, tiny aneurysms of the capillaries and hemorrhage into the retina. It includes a growth of new fragile blood vessels on the surface of the retina.
Diabetic retinopathy
A wing-like thickening of fibrovascular connective tissue and blood vessels beneath the bulbar conjunctiva which slowly grows usually from the inner canthus over the limbus and into the superficial cornea is called what?
Pterygium
Drooping of the eyelid is called:
Ptosis
Symptoms that are common associated with ___ include flashes of light, floaters, and a veiling of vision.
Retinal detachment
A patient who experiences ___, meaning that the eyes turn outward, will not have a lid margin for the tears to rest on, and the tears will spill over and run out of the eye
Ectropion
Cataract can be defined in terms of: Abnormal morphology or biochemistry of the crystalline lens, decreased light transmission, optical aberrations and decreased visual acuity, all of the above
All of the above
___ may result in protrusion of one or both eyes, dry eye to cornea exposure, convergence insufficiency, and/or hypertropia
Grave’s disease
___ sign is defined as an abnormal forward bulging of the lower eyelid border observed when a patient looks downward caused by a high curvature of the cornea as deformed by keratoconus
Munson’s
Night blindness is a complication of which ocular disease?
Retinitis pigmentosa
___ is defined as an abnormal accumulation of watery fluid, presumably aqueous humor, in the stroma and usually the epithelium of the normally clear cornea. It is caused by ruptures in the endothelium and is not uncommon in advanced keratoconus.
Corneal hydrops
An ocular condition in which approximately 65% of the people have dislocated lenses, are myopic, and have astigmatism is called
Marfan Syndrome
Bell’s palsy can cause the lower lid to turn away from the globe of the eye. This turning away from the globe is called
Ectropion
Damage to the retina from the hemorrhaging of capillaries is called
Diabetic retinopathy
Which of the following conditions could cause a sudden change in prescription in an adult patient: Cataract, diabetes, blepharitis, pinguecula
Diabetes
What condition will cause a central field loss or central scotoma?
Macular degeneration
What is the name of the condition that will cause a peripheral field loss and reduced night vision?
Retinitis pigmentosa
What is the term for inflammation of the eyelid?
Blepharitis
What is a condition commonly associated with dry eye?
Sjogren’s Syndrome
A ___ is an inflammatory granuloma of a Meibomian gland in the tarsal plate of the eyelid.
Chalazion
