Cognition & Senses 2: Eyelids Flashcards
PALPEBRAE definition
= EYELIDS
BLEPHARON definition
= EYELIDS
ADNEXA definition
= TISSUES around the eye, including the LIDS & SKIN within 1 CM around the eye
which MUSCLE in the eye is primarily involved in BLINKING?
what CRANIAL NERVE innervates it?
ORBICULARIS OCULI
innervated by FACIAL nerve (CN VII)
animals tend to have CILIA only on…
THE UPPER EYELID
name 3 functions of the EYELIDS?
- PROTECTION of the eye & MAINTENANCE of OCULAR SURFACE HEALTH
- BLINKING to ENTRAP/REMOVE DEBRIS & help with TEAR FILM DISTRIBUTION
- GLANDULAR SECRETIONS of LIPID portion of the PRE-CORNEAL TEAR FILM to give NUTRITION to CORNEA & OCULAR SURFACE
LAGOPHTHALMOS definition
this is seen frequently in WHAT BREEDS of dog?
INABILITY to CLOSE THE EYELIDS over the GLOBE OF THE EYE
frequent in SMALL BREEDS that have EXOPHTHALMOS
MOST of the eyelid disease that we see is ___
SURGICAL
how LONG does it take for EYES TO OPEN IN DOGS/CATS?
what if the lids open PREMATURELY?
what if the lids DO NOT OPEN? (name the term & clinical signs)
how LONG? = 10-14 days in DOGS/CATS
lids open PREMATURELY…
= DAMAGE TO THE OCULAR SURFACE
lids DO NOT OPEN = OPHTHALMIA NEONATORUM, causing CONJUNCTIVITIS/INFECTION
in SMALL ANIMAL PRACTICE, we MAINLY see eye diseases that affect the ____ ____, which can result in ____ ____ disease, such as… (2)
EYELID MARGIN, OCULAR SURFACE disease, such as…
1. CORNEAL ULCERS
2. SCARRING
what are the 4 main CATEGORIES of EYE DISEASE we’ll see in small animal practice?
- EYELID MARGIN INTEGRITY
- MEIBOMIAN GLANDS (tarsal glands)
- PERIOCULAR SKIN
- BLINKING
4 most common DISEASES that COMPROMISE eyelid margin integrity
- TRAUMA causing EYELID LACERATION (ex = running through bushes)
- CONFORMATIONAL/BREED-RELATED from ENTROPION
- EYELID NEOPLASMS
- DEVELOPMENTAL abnormalities where PARTS OF EYELID ARE ABNORMAL or MISSING
TRAUMA to the EYELIDS…
requires what 2 things? why?
what is the GOAL? why?
requires…
1. SURGERY
2. REPAIR ASAP
why? –> if the eye is left to heal on its own by SECONDARY INTENTION, could cause FIBROSIS & IRREGULAR EYELID MARGIN leading to OCULAR DZ
GOAL = to RESTORE SMOOTH EYELID MARGIN
EYELID SURGERY…
how does the eye tend to heal? risk of infection?
what 4 things are REQUIRED to do the surgery?
how do PREP around the eye?
eye tends to heal QUICKLY due to GOOD BLOOD SUPPLY & LOW RISK OF INFECTION
what 4 things are REQUIRED to do the surgery?
1. good MAGNIFICATION 2-4 X
2. HIGH INTENSITY, FOCAL LIGHT
3. SMALL SUTURE often VICRYL (absorbable) or SILK (needs to be removed)
4. APPROPRIATE INSTRUMENTATION specific for eyelids
PREP = must use DILUTE BETADINE, we CANNOT USE ALCOHOL OR CHLORHEXIDINE because it can CAUSE A CORNEAL ULCER
SURGICAL RESTORATION of EYELID MARGIN…
3 steps?
steps?
1. put SUTURE THROUGH MEIBOMIAN GLANDS in a FIGURE-8 SUTURE to KEEP KNOT AWAY FROM EYE
- close the wound at eyelid margin in 2 LAYERS
- use SIMPLE INTERRUPTED sutures to FINISH THE WOUND
POST-OP CARE for EYELID SURGERY? (3)
if you use APPROPRIATE SURGICAL TECHNIQUE, MOST patients…
- E-COLLAR for 14 DAYS (or until suture removal)
- TOPICAL ANTIBIOTICS/ANTI-INFLAMMATORY (NeoPolyDex) for 14 DAYS
- EXERCISE RESTRICTION for 1-2 WEEKS
if you use APPROPRIATE SURGICAL TECHNIQUE, MOST patients have a GOOD OUTCOME
ENTROPION vs. ECTROPION?
what PART of the eyelid can be affected?
which one is MORE LIKELY to cause TEARING?
ENTROPION = eyelid margin ROLLING INTO EYE (more common)
–> MORE LIKELY TO CAUSE TEARING
ECTROPION = ROLLING OUT of the EYELID MARGIN
ONE or BOTH parts of the eyelid can be affected
ID LESION
ENTROPION
ID LESION
ECTROPION
ENTROPION…
3 causes?
if you apply TOPICAL ANESTHESIA to the eye, WHICH of the causes will see RESOLUTION?
3 causes?
1. PRIMARY = common in SOME BREEDS
–> Shar Peis
–> Bulldogs
- SPASTIC = CHRONIC SQUINTING causes EYE to be PULLED IN
- CICATRICAL ENTROPION = from CHRONIC SPASTIC ENTROPION causing SCARRING TO EYE
if we give TOPICAL ANESTHESIA, then SPASTIC & CICATRICAL ENTROPION will be RESOLVED!
BLEPHAROSPASM DEFINITION
SQUINTING
