Q

Euryblepharon=

A

Large palpebral fissue

28
Q

I say

“Central pigmentary keratitis” you say:

A

Medial canthus syndrome in brachycephalics

-ie. nasal fold hair rubs on cornea

29
Q

A

Euryblepharon
Lagophthalmos
Trichiasis/Distichiasis
Entropion

30
Q

Medial canthus syndrome in brachycephalics tx=

A

Medial Canthoplasty(“eyelid tuck”)

31
Q

What the difference between trichiasis & distichiasis?

A

Trichiasis=NORMAL hair touching cornea

Distichiasis= ABNORMAL hair touching cornea

32
Q

What is difference between distichiasis & ectopic cilia?

A

Distichiasis=-Aberrant cilia from MEIBOMIAN gland openings

Ectopic cilia= Aberrant cilia from TARSAL gland grows through palpebral conjunctiva

33
Q

What causes acute blepharospasm & a dorsal ellipitcal ulcer?

A

Ectopic cilia

-Dorsal elliptical ulcer= non-healing or recurrent corneal ulcer

34

  • Meibomian CYST
  • NON painful
  • CASEOUS d/c
  • Come to head on INSIDE of lid
  • SURGERY is the treatment(if it’s enlarged & causing discomfort)

Hordeolum/Stye

  • Meibomian or Skin gland(Moll, Zeis) INFECTION
  • PAINFUL
  • PURULENT d/c
  • Comes to head on OUTSIDE of lid
  • RARELY needs surgery: treated w/ local warm packs, topical anti-inflammatories & antibiotics

A

Staph or strep

Q

When treated an eyelid laceration that affects the margin, what is your main concern?
