Q

What are the benefits of 4 mirror over 3 mirror?

A
  1. coupling solution not required and easier to apply
  2. requires minimal rotation for 360 deg views
  3. easier to compare between two eyes
  4. small lens better for small apertures
  5. allows for indentation gonio

4 (wide open)

18
Q

What is the grade (and description) of the angle when the ciliary body band somewhat visible or scleral spur is the most posterior structure seen in gonio?

19
Q

What is the grade (and description) of the angle when the scleral spur/TM is the most posterior structure seen in gonio?

A

0 (closed)

22
Q

What is the procedure for the corneal wedge technique?

A
  1. w/ gonio on eye, narrow beam to optic section
  2. create 45deg angle with beam

23
Q

What are the potential side effects of gonioscopy?

A
  1. vasovagal syncope

24
Q

What is the transient loss of consciousness with rapid onset, short duration with spontaneous, prompt and complete recovery? 1. What are the other transient loss of consciousness’ that need to be ruled out? 2

A
  1. vasovagal syncope

2. seizure, hypoglycemia, cardiac arrest

25
What is gonio used for to investigate further?
1. narrow angles 2. angle pigmentation in PDS or pseudoexfoliation 3. neovascularization of angle 4. angle recession 5. iris nevi/tumor 6. anterior synechiae
26
What is gonio used for in regards to laser treatment?
1. Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI) 2. Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT or ALT) 3. Iridoplasty
27
What are the contraindications for gonio?
1. penetrating corneal injury 2. hyphema 3. keratitis or significant epithelial disruption
28
What are the risk factors for angle closure?
1. hyperopia 2. short AC depth 3. age, female>male 4. East Indian/Inuit races
29
What is the structure that if it is visible then it is nearly impossible to close the angle?
scleral spur
30
For patients that have an iris bombe, what conditions can lead to intermittent angle closure?
scotopic conditions
31
What is the iris called when it is flat centrally and steep peripherally? 1. What is the sign associated with this? 2
1. plateau iris | 2. double hump sign
32
What is a peripheral anterior synechia usually associated with?
1. trauma/penetrating injury (iris capture) | 2. inflammation (uveitis)
33
What results from a tear in the ciliary body resulting from blunt trauma to the eye? 1. What do they sometimes eventually develop? 2
