L4 Flashcards
How mydriasis can be achieved
stimulation of dilator muscle
paralysis of sphincter muscle
what is the name of stimulation of dilator
and its example
adrenergic agonist and sympathomimetric
phenylephrine
what is the ocular side effect of phenylephrine
- widening of palpebral aperture
- blanching of conjunctiva blood vessel
due to present of alpha receptor
what are the other clinical uses of phenylephrine
- breaking posterior synechiae
- diagnostic test for horners syndrome
what are the precaution of systemic disease in phenylephrine usage
cardiac disease
hypertension
artheriosclerosis
hyperthyroidism
what is another name for paralysis of sphincter
cholinergic antagonist
parasympatholytic
antimuscarinic
what is an example of paralysis of sphincter
tropicamide
what is the precaution in systemic disease in usage of tropicamide
down syndrome
brain disorder
what is the 4 clinical routine prior dilation
- check anterior chamber angle
- measure eye pressure before and after dilation
- 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
- have a miotic available
what is the ssx of aacg
elevated iop,
blurry vision
nausea, vomitting
ciliary flush
fixed semi dilated pupil
corneal oedema
what is the contraindication of mydriasis
anterior chamber iol
history of angle closure glaucoma
subluxated iol/ lens
narrow or closed angle
what is cycloplegics
cycloplegics is the paralysis of ciliary muscle resulting in loss of accommodation
cyclopegics block the postsynapstic muscarinic receptor in iris and ciliary body
signs of atropine poisioning
relaxed accommodation,
inhibite sweat gland,
dilated blood vessel,
hallucination and confusion.
what are the indicaiton of cycloplegics
when accommodation are not relaxed sufficiently. - bv anomalies, latent hyperopia, less than 6 yo
treatment of myopia, amblyopia, uveitis (relax spasm and prevent posterior synechiae)
how can miosis achieve by
stimulation of spincter
paralysis of dilation
