Q

what is the 4 clinical routine prior dilation

A
  1. check anterior chamber angle
  2. measure eye pressure before and after dilation
  3. take a good history ; ensure no history of angle closure, drug allergy, not using any miotic for glaucoma, no systemic drug and disease health condition

Q

what is cycloplegics

A

cycloplegics is the paralysis of ciliary muscle resulting in loss of accommodation

cyclopegics block the postsynapstic muscarinic receptor in iris and ciliary body

16
Q

whatt are the uses of miotics

A

reversal od mydriasis

anti-glaucoma medication

diasgnostic agent in adie pupil

17
Q

what are the pupil disorder characterized by anisocoria

A

physiologic anisocoria

horner’s syndrome

adies pupil

cn3 palsy

argyll robrtson pupil

18
Q

what are the common characteristic of pupil disorder

A

only 1 pupil is invovled

affected pupil either cant dilate or constrict

19
Q

what is physioloic anisocoria

A

good light reaction in both eyes

tend to be equal anisocoria in bright and dim

pupillary size difference usually less than 1mm

no dilation lag

20
Q

what is horner syndrome

A

damage @ any point along the sympathetic pathway

damage can occur in form of trauma, tumour involvement, infarction, middle ear infection, disease of eye itself

21
Q

feature of horner’s syndrome

A

ptosis, miosis
anhidrosis
hererochromia iridis , dilation lag

22
Q

what is adies tonic pupil

A

caused by post ganglionic parasympathetic lesion

  • pupils and accommodation are affected
  • sluggish and segmental constriction to light
23
Q

Pharmacologic evaluation of Adies Tonic pupil

A

The sphincter shows cholinergic hypersensitivity.

Larger pupil is supersensitive to 0.125% pilocarpine (cholinergic agonist ).
