diagnostics for dacryocytosis

A

CBC, leukocytosis

46
Q

Blepharitis

A

most common inflammation of eyelid

47
Q

Blepharitis s/s

A

lids inflamed, oily secretions, visual acuity okay, loss of lashes (late)

48

A

lid is turned inward

50
Q

extropion

A

lid is turned outward

51
Q

entropion/extropion can cause what?

52
Q

difference between bacterial & viral conjunctivitis?

A

bacterial has a lot of discharge, viral does not

53
Q

If there is no improvement of bacterial & viral conjunctivitis, what do you order?

A

C and S, gram stain

54
Q

What do you see on chronic allergic conjunctivitis?

A

abrasions on cornea

55
Q

which is worse with chemical conjunctivitis, alkaline chemicals or acidotic chemicals?

A

alkaline burns worse so thats why we do PH testing to see which it is!

56
Q

Subconjunctival Hemorrhage, what is it and how does it develop?

A

small blood rupture in the conjunctival tissue, develops after straining or coughing

57
Q

How is visual acuity with hyphema?

A

its decreased

58
Q

Hyphema

A

blood in anterior chamber of eye, cause by trauma, refer to opthalmologist

59

benign inflammatory of sclera

60
Q

Is Episcleritis bilateral or unilateral?

61
Q

Episcleritis s/s

A

no discharge, lactimation, photophobia

62
Q

photophobia

A

intolerance of light

63
Q

Scleritis

A

inflammation of sclera that can result in severe destructive disease

64
Q

Scleritis s/s and is it unilateral or bilateral?

A

painful, “boring” pain, unilateral, photophobia

65
Q

what do we check for with scleritis?

A

autoimmune diseases!

66
Q

Keratitis

A

infection of cornea

67
Q

what happens to visual acuity with Keratitis?

68

full blockage of fluid

halos, visual acuity decreased

72

acute glaucoma

A

sudden closer of canal

73

pain, photophobia, cliliary flush, visul acuity decreased

74
Q

Periorbital/ orbital cellulitis

A

infection of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue around eye

75
Q

which is a medical emergency periorbital or orbital cellulitis?

A

orbital we need to do a CT scan

76
Q

Iritis

A

inflammation of iris, aching pain, blurred vision, tearing, need a referral!

77
Q

both need referrals but what is more of an emergency acute closed-angle glaucoma or open angle?

A

acute closed

78
Q

typical symptoms of glaucoma?

79
Q

How do we treat glaucoma?

A

we give them medications to constrict pupils, example beta blockers

80
Q

carbonic anhydrase inhibitors

A

decrease production of aqueous humor (treatment for glaucoma)

81
Q

which medications should you avoid for glaucoma?

A

anticholinergic meds because they can dilate pupils and we don’t want that!

82
Q

Macular degeneration

A

atrophy of retinal pigmentation and neovascularization. You loose central vision

83
Q

cataracts

A

blurred vision!

84
Q

what is fluorescein angiography used for in macular degeneration testing?

A

to differentiate between atropic and neovascular

85
Q

s/s diabetic retinopathy

draining fluid, cryosurgery, laser therapy, scleral buckling, inserting gas

87
Q

scleral buckling

A

holds choroid & retina together

88

Diathermy

A

treatment of detached retina:

use of electrode needle and heat to stimulate inflammatory response

89
