D - Dry Eye - Week 1 redone Flashcards

1
Q

What is the 2017 TFOS DEWS II definition of dry eye?

A

A multifactorial disease of the ocular surface characterised by a loss of homeostasis of the tear film, and accompanied by ocular symptoms, in which tear film instability and hyperosmolarity, ocular surface inflammation and damage, and neurosensory abnormalities play aetiological roles

Q

What is the difference between nociceptive pain and neuropathic pain?

A

Nociceptive: pain in response to actual or threatened tissue damage

Neuropathic: pain in response to damage to the somatosensory pathway

Q

Is topical treatment that useful in treating neuropathic pain?

A

Not really, since it’s higher up

17
Q

List features of clinical history that would make you suspect neuropathic pain (2)

A

Heat or prickling sensation

Association with other neuropathic disorders (e.g. migraine)

18
Q

How can you anatomically evaluate corneal

A

Corneal confocal microscopy

19
Q

What functional test can you do for corneal neuropathy? What outcome would indicate neuropathy?

A

Test central sensitisation with either topical anaesthetic or sclerlal lenses. if level of pain stays the same, then it’s neuropathic

20
Q

List the 3 steps in the diagnostic algorithm for dry eye

A

Triaging questions
Risk factor analysis
Diagnostic tests

21
Q

What are the 4 most important trading questions for dry eye?

A

Any mouth dryness or swollen glands?
Vision affected? Does it clear on blinking?
Itchy/swollen/crusty on waking/any discharge?
Have you been diagnosed with any general health conditions?

22
Q

List 5 other important triaging questions for dry eye

A

How severe is the discomfort?
How long have your symptoms lasted and was there any triggering event??
Are the symptoms or redness worse in one eye than the other?
Do you wear contact lenses?
Are you taking any medications?

23
Q

List 4 non-modifiable risk factors for dry eye?

A

Age > 40yo
Female
Asian
Systemic (DM, rosacea, rheumatoid, sjogren’s, thyroid)

24
Q

List 5 modifiable risk factors for dry eye

A 
Meds
Smoking
VDU
Contact lens
Environmental factors (humidity, air currents/drafts/air conditioning)
25
Q

What screening test is used for dry eye? What values do we expect for dry eye?

A

Questionnaire:

Either OSDI >/= 13 or DEQ-5 >/= 6

26
Q

Describe the order of homeostasisi marker tests for dry eye while providing their normal values

A
  1. NIBUT (<10 sec = dry eye)
  2. Osmolarity (>308mOsm/L or interocular difference >8 = dry eye)
  3. TBUT (<10 sec = dry eye)
  4. Ocular surface staining (>5 corneal spots; >9 conj spots; or lid margin >/= 2mm length & >/= 25% width)

NB: pick one of TBUT and NIBUT. Also sometimes osmolarity isn’t available in clinic etc. Also should find out how to do osmolarity

27
Q

What does a score of >/= 12 on DEQ-5 indicate?

A

Possible sjogren’s

28
Q

Where is NIBUT performed? How many measures do you take?

A

Performed on topographer (observe the quality of the motors over time). Take the average of 3 measures

29
Q

What happens to the results of osmolarity if you accidentally poke the patient in the eye?

A

Patient will get hyposmolarity so it will look like their osmolarity reading is lower than it actually is. This is due to reflex tearing from being poked in the eye

30
Q

What are the key parameters to look at in meibomian gland evaluation? (3)

A

Evaluate lid margin
Express MGs
Examine secretion colour and consistency

31
Q

How is the MGS (Meibomian Glands yielding liquid Secretion score) assessed? What score is classified as clinically significant MGD?

A 
Express 5 glands inferiorly (5 nasal, 5 central, 5 temporal). Score is as follows:
3 = clear liquid secretion
2 = cloudy liquid secretion
1 = toothpaste consistency
0 = no secretion

MGS < 12 = clinically significant MGD

32
Q

What does Meibography assess?

A

Extent of drop out as a percentage of the eyelid (loss of secretory acinar tissue)

33
Q

Is tear meniscus height a reliable parameter for dry eye assessment?

A

Not particularly, too variable

34
Q

What happens if you use too bright a light when measuring tear meniscus height?

A

Reflex tearing will make the meniscus height larger

35
Q

When should you expect dry eye when doing the phenol red test? (Values wise)

A

<10mm/15sec

36
Q

When should you expect dry eye/sjogren’s in the schooner test?

A

<5mm/5min
