16
Q

What is the treatment for anterior lens luxation in a visual or potentially visual eye?

A

First medically stabilize- decrease IOP (Mannitol, Dorzolamide)

If connot contril IOP = surgical emergency

17
Q

Where is aqueous humor formed? What is its path to drainage within the eye?

A

Ciliary body (aided by Carbonic anhydrase)

Ciliary body -> Posterior chamber -> Pupil-> Anterior chamber -> Iridocorneal angle (or Uveoscleral angle) -> Venous drainage

18
Q

What are the clinical signs associated with glaucoma?

A

Episcleral injection (Red eye)

Pain, Blepharospasm

Cloudy eye (Corneal edema)

Mydriasis

Impaired vision

Increased IOP (>20mmHg suspicious, >25mmHg= glaucoma)

Chronic: Optic disc cupping, Retinal degeneration, Buphthalmos, Physis bulbi

19
Q

How is glaucoma classified and what are the causes? Are there breed predispositions?

A

Primary: most commonly caused by primary angle closure (goniodysgenesis); usually bilateral, common in Cocker Spaniels, Basset Hounds, Labradors

Secondary: associated w/ other ocular or systemic abnormalites; most common cause= uveitits + hyphema, also neoplasia and lens luxation

20
Q

What are the most common medical therapies for glaucoma?

A

Latanoprost 0.005% - most effective for K9 primary glaucoma; increases uveoscleral outflow; use in an emergency as well as long-term

Dorzolamide 2% (Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors)- decreases aqueous production; emergency and long-term

IV Mannitol 20%: use when latanoprost and dorzolamide are ineffective

21
Q

What are the surgical therapies for glaucoma?

A

Gonioimpant- increase aqueous outflow

Ciliary body ablation/ Cyclodestruction- decrease aqueous production

Would probably refer for these

22
Q

What are the salvage procedures for blind and painful eyes?

A

Enucleation

Evisceration and prosthesis

Cilicary body ablation (intravitreal gentocin)

23
Q

The optic nerve is extremely sensitive to increased IOP. With glaucoma the optic nerve will lose _____ and will be displaced _______, displaying a _____ appearance.

A

Myelin

Posteriorly

Cupped

24
Q

What is the only cause of buphthalmos? What is it?

A

Glaucoma

Enlargement of the globe

25
Q

What are the fractures of Descemet’s membrane called that occur secondary to buphthalmos and stretching of the globe, which can be seen as subtle white streals coursing across the cornea?

A

Haab’s Striae

26
Q

What is gonidysgenesis?

A

Abnormal iridocorneal angle conformation in which the angle is narrowed or closed

27
Q

What is the use of a goniolens, applied to the surface of the eye which allows light to bend into the iridocorneal angle and facilitates examination?

A

Gonioscopy

28
Q

What are the 2 halmarks of glaucoma?

A

Increased IOP

Vision loss (from damage to the optic nerve and retina)

29
Q

When measuring IOP with tonometry you obtain the values 25mmHg, 13mmHg, and 17mmHg. Which is the correct IOP?

A

13 mmHg (lowest IOP= most accurate)

30
Q

T/F: Lack of pigment in the Retinal Pigmented Epithelium (RPE) is a normal variation of the fundus.

A

True

Common in blue-eyed dogs

31
Q

What species have a holangiotic (completely vascularized) retina?

A

Canine

Feline

Bovine

Caprine

Ovine

32
Q

What are the hallmarks of fundus disease (6) ?

A
  1. Retinal hemorrhage
  2. Retinal detachment
  3. Vascular changes (attenuation, dilation, tortuosity)
  4. Altered tepetal reflectivity (Hyper or Hypo)
  5. Altered pigmentation (Focal or patchy)
  6. Altered optic head appearance
33
Q

What are some causes of retinal hemorrhage?

A

Anemia

Systemic hypertension

Hyperviscosity

Diabetes mellitus

Chorioretinitis

Coagulopathy

Trauma

Retinal detachment

34
Q

T/F: Retinal hemorrhage can be localized. When it is pre-retinal it is known as a keel boat. When within a nerve fiber layer it will be flame-shaped. When it is within the retina it is dot-blot formed. When it is sub-retinal it is diffuse and irregular.

A

True

35
Q

What are some causes of retinal detachment?

A

Vitreous disease

Congenital malformations

Lens luxations

Neoplasia

Chorioretinitis

Trauma

Hypertension/Vascular disease (common in practice)

36
Q

What are the 2 types of retinal detachment? Which is treated medically and which surgically? What ‘sign’ is seen on ultrasound when retinal detachment occurs?

A

Bullous- medical treatment (common early sign of feline hypertensive retinopathy); Rx= Amlodipine

Rhegmatogenous- surgical (Common in Shih Tzu)

Seagull sign

37
Q

What etiology/type of retinal degeneration causes gradual vision loss? Which causes sudden vision loss?

A

Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA) or Feline central retinal degeneration = gradual

Sudden acquired retinal degeneration syndrome (SARDS), Enrofloxacin in cats= sudden (looks like Cushing’s but suddenly blind)

38
Q

How do you distinguish an active from an inactive chorioretinitis lesion?

A

Active: poorly circumscribed, raised, gray-white areas of edema or cellular infiltrate

Inactive: well circumscribed, flat, scarring

39
Q

PLR abnormalities, peripheral blindness, hyperemia, peripapillar edema, and retinal detachment are associated with which condition?

A

Optic neuritis

(DDx: CDV, toxo, Neosporosis, Ehrlichia, Mycoses, GME, lymphoma)
