Yellowish plaque; Accumulation of lipid-laden
macrophages.
Xanthelasma
50% of patients with a Xanthelasma have
elevated
blood lipid levels.
Scaling/crusting eye lid borders and Itching without vision loss
Blepharitis

Inversion of lid
Entropion
- Discharge
- Diffuse injection
- Minimal pain and
no vision deficits
Conjunctivitis
- Severe Eye pain and blurred vision
- Circumcorneal Injection

Subconjunctival
Hemorrhage
Corneal Arcus
Associated with
Hyperlipedemia
during the PanOptic exam, what will help you to focus on the patient’s eye?
KEEP THUMB ON THE WHEEL
Lens Number (Diopters) for the Cornea:
Black 20
Lens Number (Diopters) for the
fundus 0
Provides easiest view thru undilated pupil
small light
Blood vessels/ Hemorrhages appear darker with
Green light (Red free light)
Helpful in determining depth of lesions
Slit Aperture
Defects (commonly) seen with the red reflex
- Cataracts
- Vitreous hemorrhage
- Retinal detachment
MS or Chronic Glaucoma may cause
Optic atrophy
Papilledema / Severe HTN may cause
Hyperemic optic disc
if the Cup/ Disc Ratio is Greater than 50 % , what should be considered?
Chronic Glaucoma
normal ratio of Arteriol Light Reflex / Width of artery
1:4
Increased Arteriol Light
Reflex or broadening of the light reflex indicates
Arteriolsclerosis
Arteriolosclerosis can also cause what to the fundoscopic vessels?
A-V nicking
Neovascularization
can be caused by
Proliferative Diabetes
Most sensitive to vision
and color
Fovea Centralis / Macula Lutea
