Q

what is a major cause of vision loss that has to do with the innermost layer of the retina?

A

there are no capillaries, so the choroid layer provides oxygen. detachment from the choroid compromises blood supply and is the major cause of vision loss.

increases.
41

1min, 5-10,
42
T/F Glaucoma patient has an exaggerated response to succs
FALSE. not exaggerated or prolonged
43
how does acetazolamide work?
it is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, decreases aqueous production by inhibiting Na pump responsible for secretion of aqueous humor, decreasing IOP.
44
how does carbonic anhydrase chronic use effect lytes?
it depletes Na, K and bicarb, leading to metabolic acidosis
45

51
what is echothipate used for?
it is a topical anticholinesterase drug, maintains miosis to rx glaucoma
52
what happens with systemic absorption of echothipate
it leads to total inhibition of plasma cholinesterase. so you have prolonged muscle paralysis after succs
53
phenylephrine is used for what?
to dilate pupil. 2.5% causes less htn then 10%, but will aggravate BP in some
54
____ and ____ are cholinergic drugs used to constrict pupil. bradycardia and acute bronchospasm have been reported
