Q

What are the parts of the eye in the beginning?

A

Optic vesicle attached via optic stalk, turns into optic cup (with outer and inner layers) attached by optic stalk, makes a horseshoe shape called optic fissure where hyaloid a/v run

Q

What causes a detached retina?

A

When the pigmented and neural retinas do not fuse and come together (makes intra-retinal space). Seen in down syndrome or marfan’s syndrome, also in trauma

Q

What is aniridia?

A

Lack of iris tissue/complete absence of iris due to arrest of development at the rim of the optic cup during week 8, caused by Pax6 gene mutation

Q

How does the lens develop

A

Thickening of surface ectoderm = lens placode which is induced by the optic cup. Placode invaginates to form lens pit which rounds up and forms a lens vesicle that migrates down to space around optic cup

Q

What layer does the epithelium of the cornea develop from? What about the stroma of the cornea?

A

Epithelium comes from surface ectoderm, stroma (deeper layer) comes from mesenchyme

Q

What layer does the choroid come from?

A

NCC, is continuous with arachnoid/pia layers of brain

17
Q

What layer does the ciliary body/smooth muscles come from?

A

Mesenchyme

18
Q

What layer does the pupillary membrane come from?

A

Mesenchyme

19
Q

What is the pupillary membrane?

A

Transient extension of the sclera, covers the lens as it is developing, degenerates in 6-8th month in utero

20
Q

What is aqueous humor?

A

Produced by ciliary epithelium, delivers nutrients to lens, gets rid of waste products, is protective. Is absorbed into Schlemm’s canal (scleral venous sinus)

21
Q

What is vitreous humor?

A

Primarily from choroid, thick & jelly-like, nourishes posterior aspect of eye

22
Q

What is congenital glaucoma?

A

Caused by elevated intraocular pressure due to abnormal development of the drainage mechanism of the aqueous humor through the scleral venous sinus. Caused by mutations in CYP1B1 gene or rubella during pregnancy

23
Q

Where do extraocular muscles of the eyes come from? (SR, IR, MR, LR, SO, IO)

A

Prechordal mesenchyme

24
Q

What is the hyaloid artery?

A

Blood supply to retina and lens (inner layer of optic cup) during early development, runs through the optic fissure. Degenerates to become the central retinal artery and should only supply retina

25
Q

When does the choroid develop?

A

Week 15, comes from ciliary arteries

26
Q

What can you see with microphthalmic eyes?

A

Persistence of the hyaloid artery

27
Q

What layer does the optic nerve come from?

A

Neuroectoderm

28
Q

What are the two layers of neuroblasts within the inner neural layer of the retina?

A

Rods and cones

Ganglion cells

29
Q

What cells form the optic nerve from the eye?

A

Retinal ganglion cells

30
Q

What does the optic stalk do?

A

Provides a pathway for retinal ganglion cells to get back to the brain, is completely replaced by optic nerve

31
Q

What is papilledema?

A

Due to increased intracranial pressure, causes optic disc to bulge.

32
Q

What is coloboma?

A

Optic fissure fails to close completely leaving gap in eye, autosomal dominant. No pupillary constriction in bright light, can damage retina
