Orbital cellulitis often has what
Diplopia + affarent pupillary defect
Image of choice in orbital cellulitis
High Res CT
Difference between wet and dry aged macular degeneration
Wet = Rapid onset FLOOD of vision loss [neovascular]
Dry = Drusen bodies with vision loss [atrophic]

MANAMGENET of non vs. proliferative diabetic retinopathy
Non = laser photo COAG and vitrectomy
Proliferative = anti-vegf
Patho of acute angle closure gluacoma
Flow of aqueous humor drainage blocked = increase pressure in anterior chamber pushes on the vitreous posterior chamber and pressure on optic nerve.
