Opaque ring, gray to white in color, that surrounds the periphery of the cornea
Occurs primarily in older adults
92
What causes arcus senilis
Fat granules in the cornea
93
Blepharitis
Inflammation of the eyelids
94
What causes blepharitis
Staphyloccal infection or seborrheis dermatitis of the lid edge
95

101
Nystagmus
Fine, oscillating movement
102
When would nystagmus be detected?
During diagnostic positions test
103
Periorbital edema
Lids swollen and puffy
104
What causes periorbital edema?
Local infections, crying, trauma, or systemic conditions
105
Photophobia
Inability to tolerate light
106
Presbyopia
Decrease in power of accommodation with aging
| Why reading things close up gets hard
107
Ptosis
Abnormal condition of one or both upper eyelids
| Eyelid droops caused by weakness of levator muscle or paralysis of 3rd cranial nerve
108
Conductive hearing loss
Mechanical dysfunction of external or middle ear
| Partial hearing loss b/c can hear if sound is increased
109

| Congenital variation

111
Presbycusis
Hearing loss associated with aging
Gradual onset over years
Usually loss of both hearing sensitivity and a reduction in clarity of speech
112
Difference between conductive hearing loss and sensorineural hearing loss
Conductive - blocks sound transmission somewhere in the external auditory canal, tympanic membrane, or middle ear
Sensorineural - In inner ear
