Lecture 1 Flashcards
what is the purpose of doing Dilation Fundus Exam FDE?
to evaluate the peripheral retina to search for ( rhegmatogenous) since it is missed with direct and indirect monocular
what are the advantages of BIO?
1- quick assessment of entire retina and vitreous
2- Stereoscopic Examination of the Entire retina and Vitreous
what it means that BIO is a Stereoscopic examination?
1- allow a binocular , high resolution view
2- allow a large fov
3- independent of pt. refractive error
what are the disadvantages of BIO ?
1- lower mag than SLEx with lenses and direct
2- require dilated pupil
3- the BIO light is very bright
what is the Mag of BIO with 20D lens ? how to increase the mag.?
BIO has 3X Mag with 20D lens
the ONLY way to increase the Mag is to change the Diapter lens not getting closer to the patient
what is the distance between the Dr and the lens ? between the lens and the Pt. eye?
it is 50cm=16-20 inches from Dr to the lens
it is 50mm from lens to eye
what are the indications for BIO?
1- every Pt. with a comprehensive eye exam
2- flashes , floater complaints
3- Myopia >4.00D
4- systematic Diseases
What are the contraindications for BIO ?
1- Narrow angle
2- Caution with Down’s syndrome since they are sensitive to Tropicamide
what is the Pupil Dilation Protocols?
1- review history 2- Acuities = best corrected with trial frame 3- Pupils , EOMs 4- SLEx for cornea and angles with VH 5- IOP 6- Gonio 7- Pt education 8- Instillation of drops
what you should be Caution about if Pt have low BP?
Vasovagal Syncope = loss of consciousness caused by transient cerebral hypoperfusion as a result of low HP, HR
symptoms : Nausea, Pale ,
lightheaded, warm
what you should do with Vasovagal ?
1- stay calm
2- recline the Pt. wit elevation of their feet
3- while that , take BP, Pulse until return to normal
4- alert the preceptor
5- be careful and support the Pt
What are the three DO NOT with VasoVagal ?
1- DO NOT Pt leave until BP, Pulse are back to normal
2- DO NOT let the Pt walk alone if unsteady
3- DO NOT give water
what are the drops you use for dilation ?
1-Anesthetic ( Proparacain )
2— Tropicamide 1% or for lighter eyes 0.05% —> Block sphincter( Para symp.) muscle result in dilation
3- Phenylephrine 2.5% will activate the dilator muscle( Sympathetic) mydriasis and vasoconstrictor –> weak Dilator , NOT the standard of care for pupil dilation ( need Tropicamide with it )
what are the two things u need to do before Dialtion ?
IOP , VH
what are the properties of Tropacmide ?
1- STING make sure eye is numb 1st ,
2- Caution overdose with kids
could cause dry mouth, fast HR, Headaches, drowsiness , redness of skin
3- Blurry Vision at near , Photophobia
what are the properities of Phenylephrine ?
ONLY when use 10 %
1- Dizziness , fast HR, increase BP
2- High BP since is it is vasoconstrictor
what are the side effects of dilation ?
1- explain that it will be blurry vision at near > distance for 2-6h ( blue eyes stay longer )
2- photophobia
3- Pt may wish to have driver ( Older Hyperopic
4- Cycloplegia may wear off before dilation of Pupil
how to record the dilation ?
1- which drop , how much , which eye , when
2- record that u educated the Pt before the dilation
what are the steps to start using the BIO ( binocular Indirect Opthalmoscope ) ?
1- make sure u have the BIO comfortable on ur head
2- PD , oculars are properly set before viewing the lens( see the top part of thumb in the middle of the circle )
3- hold the lens in a way that ur fingers not in the way
4- make sure u see single vision
5- make sure u see a red reflex
6- then put the lens close to the eye
7- then Trombone
what happened if you increase the dioptric power of the lens?
increase D –>will increase Field of view, DECREASE Mag , decrease WD
(More Diopters= Less Mag)
Change Aperture will change the Mag
