Eye Flashcards
Name the risk factors for Open Angle Glaucoma
African americans
DM
Fx Hx of Glaucoma
How Open angle Glaucoma presents?
Gradual loss vision start from periphery
Increase IOP on tonometry
Fundoscopy findings–> Enlarged Optic cup and cupping of the disc
What are t/m options of Open angle glaucoma?
first line–> topical prostaglandins–>increases drainage of aqeuous humor via Uvealsacral pathway
2nd line–> BB
Laser tabeculoplasty
Important point of Open angle glaucoma
Avoid to use steriods as it decreases outflow of aqeuous humor from anterior chamber
How steroid causing Open angle glaucoma?
decrease drainage of aqueous fluid leads to increase IOP–> Open angle glaucoma
corneal edema leads to central blurriness
How close angle glaucoma presents?
seen in old age with headache and nausea
Red,painful eye and blurred vision
Pupil is fixed and mid-dilated without ulceration
Important point of close angle glaucoma
Avoid to use pupil dilating medication or sitting in dark place as it will lead to pupil dilation
How to dx Close angle glaucoma?
Gold standard–> gonioscopy
Also tonometry
How to t/m closed angle glaucoma?
IV acetazolamide and Pressure lowering eye drops
definitive laser iridotomy
D/f b/w in terms of pupil of uveitis / close angle glaucoma / conjunctivitis
Uveitis: pupil is constricted with a poor light response
close angle glaucoma:: pupil is dilate with a poor light response
conjunctivitis:: size and response to light are normal without affecting visual acuity
Fundoscopy findings of DM retinopathy
Microaneurysm and Hard exudates
Retinal Hx and sometimes neovascularisation
How fundoscopy findings of DM retinopathy from Open angle glaucoma?
DM retinopathy::
Disc is normal
and Visual field defects are patchy
Open angle Glaucoma::
Cupping of disc
and visual field defects starts from peripheral
Fundoscopy findings of HTN retinopathy::
AV nicking and copper wiring
flames hx and cotton wool spots
optic disc edema
How Aged related macular degeneration d/f from DM retinopathy?
In Age related macular degeneration, gradual loss of cental vision
Fundoscopy findings of AGMR
Subretinal drusen and pigment anomalies
How Nor-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy d/f from DM retinopathy?
Nor-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy:::
Painless mono-ocular vision loss
Optic disc edema and afferent pupillary defect
Triad of Optic neuritis
acute mono-ocular vision loss
Pain with extra ocular movement
U/L optic disc edema
Name the medicines for glaucoma
Trabecular outflow:: muscarinic agonists
Uveoscleral Outflow:: Prostaglandin Agonists
Aqueous humor inflow:: BB / Alpha agonist / carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
What is dacryocystitis?
Infection of the lacrimal sac with inflammatory changes in the medial canthal region of eye.
Name the bacteria of causing dacryocystitis
S.aureus
B-Hemolytic strept
How dacryocystitis presents?
Seen in infants and adults over age 40yrs
sudden onset pain with edema
redness in medial canthal region
Purulent discharge from punctum
What is episcleritis?
Inflammation or infection of the episcleral tissue between the conjunctiva and sclera
or inflammation of white of the eye w/o involvement of uveal tract
How episcleritis presents?
Sudden onset pain with photophobia
Watery discharge without affect vision or cornea
Diffuse or focal bulbar conjunctival injection
What is hordeolum?
abscess of the eyelid due to Staph.aureus
How external hordeolum (stye) presents?
erythematous tender nodule at the lid margin
How to t/m external hordeolum(stye)?
warm compresses if persistent(>1-2wks), incision and curettage
How internal hordeolum presents?
Involvement of meibomian gland
tender nodule visible at the palpebral conjunctiva
How chalazion presents?
Granulomatous inflammation of meibomian gland presents hard painless lid nodule
Triad of Orbital cellulitis
Sudden onset fever proptosis
Restriction of Extra ocular movement is restricted
Eyelids are red and edema
How herpes zoster ophthalmicus presents?
Dendriform corneal ulcer and conjunctivitis
vesicular rash in V1 region of trigeminal area
Burning and itching sensation in the periorbital region
Name the condition which show hutchinson signs?
herpes zoster ophthalmicus
How herpes simplex keratitis presents?
Dendritic corneal ulcer and vesicles
Pain with photophobia and decreased vision
Minor clear vesicles in the corneal epithelium
How to t/m conjunctivitis due to adenovirus?
Cool/warm and moist compresses
with or without antihistamine/ decongestant drops
How to t/m conjunctivitis due to bacteria?
if contact lens wearer: quinolone drops
Erythromycin ointments
