Q

The angle formed by the posteiror cornea at the root of the iris

A

Anteiror chamber angle

22
Q

What is associated with small anteiror chamber depth

A

Cataracts and glaucoma

23
Q

The measurement of pupil diameter

A

Pupilometry

24
Q

Clinical importance for pupilometry

A

Selection of optical zone in laser refractive surgery

25
Q

Clinical importance of centroid shift

A

IOL andLaser ablation centration

26
Q

Best way to measure pupils

27
Q

What size pupil should you look at when picking optical zone size

28
Q

Centroid shift

A

When the pupil dilates, it doesn’t necessarily stay in the center

29
Q

Cyclotorsion

A

When pt lay done, there eyes rotate about 10 degrees. You don’t want to be off by more than 3 degrees

30
Q

Measuring the thickness of the cornea

A

Corneal pachymetry

31
Q

Why is it not easy measuring the corneal thickness

A

It is not the same thickness throughout

32
Q

What is the most reliable pachymetry

A

Cornea pachymetry map

33
Q

The thickness of the cornea at the pupil center

34
Q

Where is the cornea thickest

A

Superonasal

35
Q

Is corneal thickness symmetric

36
Q

What are the two numbers we report for corneal pachymetry

A

CCT and MinCT

37
Q

Corneal enantiomorphic symmetry

A

Inferotemporal cornea should be the thinnest

38
Q

Corneal thickness in the morning

39
Q

Measuring corneal pachymetry between two different eyes

A

Will not give you the same numbers

40
Q

Where is the corneal thinnest

A

Apex (minCT), slightly inferotemporal

41
Q

What is CCT defined at

A

The pupil center

42
Q

Average CCT

43
Q

CCT and age

44
Q

When is CCT thicker

A

Upon waking

45
Q

Between two different devices, what kind of difference will you see in measuring CCT

A

20 microns difference

46
Q

Why is corneal thickness important

A

It can mask an accurate reading of eye pressure

47
Q

When is IOP underestimated

A

Thinner CCT

48
Q

When is IOP overestimated

A

Thicker CCT

49
Q

What kind of cornea will you see in corneal dystrophy

50
Q

Ocular health indicators of thick cornea

A
  • endothelial cell damage, Fuchs dystrophy
  • corneal edema, bullus keratopathy, posteiror polymorphous dystrophy
  • herpes keratitis, DM, hyperglycemia
51
Q

Principle of operation of scheimpflug image pachymetry

A

High resolution, high depth of field imaging

52
Q

What did scheimpflug do

A

Tilt the lens
