objective data

A

a clouding of the crystalline lens due to ultraviolet radiation, and/ or age.

Subjective: cloudy or blurred vision; diplopia; glare from headlights, lamps, or sunlight; poor night vision
Objective: cloudy lens can be observed on inspection.
Red reflex is absent because light cannot penetrate opacity of lens. Pupillary light reflex may be absent.

This is curable with lens replacement surgery.

“A shadow or diminished vision in one quadrant or one half of visual field“

The leading cause of blindness in adults 25 to 74 years of age. Prevalence has decreased as the result of intensified prevention measures and newer treatments. This could soon be offset by increasing obesity rates.

91
Q

92
Q

Developmental competence: Infants ear

what does this put them at grater risk for?

A
  • Eustachian tube is shorter, wider and more horizontal than adult‘s
