Q

what is iris atrophy?

A

senile loss of iris tissue –> spontaneous progressive thinning of storm or pupillary margin

pupillary margin develops moth-eaten appearance, creating dyscoria, a scalloped appearance of pupillary portion of iris, and PLR deficit if severe

Q

tell me about normal aqueous humor dynamics

A
  • AH produced in ciliary body in nonpigmented epithelium
  • rate of formation = outflow (resistance at outflow, otherwise anterior chamber would collapse) –> maintains IOP
  • normal IOP = 15-25 mmHg (in cats and horses can be up to 30)
  • pump operates at a constant rate, not sensitive to IOP
  • inflow: AH flows into posterior chamber, through pupil, into anterior chamber, to iridocorneal angle (where outflow starts)
  • outflow: through corneoscleral trabecular meshwork, out through aqueous collecting veins (most of it, conventional outflow), or uveoscleral into systemic circulation (non-conventional outflow, independent of IOP and by osmosis)

Q

what is goniodysgenesis?

A

continuous sheet of tissue bridging across iridocorneal angle –> normal pectinate ligaments and spaces b/t them fail to form

glaucoma may occur with aging in those with this (doesn’t ensure development of glaucoma)

what occurs in one eye eventually will be bilateral

there is breed predisposition, but there are a lot of them and I dont wanna remember them :)

Q

what are the effects of elevated IOP?

A

  • lamina cribosa pushed back, optic nerve cupping
  • injection of episcleral vessels
  • mydriasis (axon compression, ischemic/neural damage, chronic atrophy)
  • corneal edema (AH into cornea, altered endothelial function)
  • buphthalmia (chronic)
  • Haab’s striae (chronic) (breaks in Descemet’s membrane with globe enlargement = stretch marks) (when this is noted, glaucoma is the cause)
  • lens subluxation (chronic)

with glaucoma that needs surgery, the prognosis is always ____ for long term maintenance of vision

A

guarded

39
Q

what are your options for acute glaucoma surgery?

A
  • laser cyclophotocoagulation (best long term)
  • gonioimplant (poor longterm success, inevitable failure)
40
Q

for chronic glaucoma when vision isn’t restored, what are your treatment options?

41
Q

what is this

A

dog with eviscerated eyeball OD (healed)

42
Q

what is glaucoma?

A

increase in intraocular pressure

43
Q

what is a cataract?

A

opacity of the lens

if severe enough, will prevent light from reaching the retina and will impair vision

44
Q

cataract classification is based on ____. tell me the classifications.

A

based on “stage of development”

incipient = small focal opacity

immature = more diffuse, but tapetal reflection present

mature = fundic reflection obliterated

hyper mature = lens material liquifies and leaks into eye (assoc w anterior uveitis), wrinkling of lens capsule

45
Q

what is this showing

A

incipient cataracts
note small specks throughout lens (these are the cataracts)
note tapetal reflection

46
Q

what is this showing

A

immature cataract (early)
multifocal coalescing opacities in lens, esp at equator
note tapetal reflection

47
Q

what is this

A

48
Q

what is this showing

49
Q

what is is this showing

A

mature cataract

diffuse opacification of lens without tapetal reflextion

50
Q

what is this

A

hyper mature cataract

diffuse opacitfication of lens and wrinkles in lens capsule, no tapetal reflection

51
Q

what are the causes of cataracts?

A
  • diabetes mellitus (dogs only)
  • genetic (dogs > cats)
  • age
  • congenital (uncommon)
  • uveitis (most common cause in horse + cat)
  • nutritional (puppies fed poor milk replacement)
52
Q

why does diabetes mellitus cause cataracts?

A

50% of dogs w DM will develop cataracts within 5-6 mo from time of dx.

80% of dogs will develop cataracts w/i 16 mo of dx

increase glucose overwhelms glycolysis, so it’s shunted to sorbitol pathway where it builds up and doesn’t leave lens, creates osmotic gradient that pulls H2O into lens and damages lens fibres

53
Q

what is this showing

A

diabetic patient with anterior lens capsule rupture + cataract due to rapid onset cataract development and swelling

54
Q

how do you treat cataracts?

A

phacoemulsification and lens replacement surgery

medical mgmt doesn’t make a clinical difference

55
Q

how can you medically prevent cataracts in diabetic patients?

A

aldose reductase inhibitor (kinostate and Ocu-GLO)

don’t stop once started bc cataracts form within 2 weeks of stopping therapy

56
Q

what is this

A

nuclear sclerosis

central hazy zone with tapetal reflectivity

can see ring in middle of eye and can see through it more. with immature cataract, the opacity is more diffuse

57
Q

what is nuclear sclerosis? why does it occur?

A

hardening and increased density of nucleus of lens

occurs with age, beginning around 7yo in dogs

nucleus of lens becomes hazy but not opaque –> owners describe blue appearance

58
Q

what dis

A

anterior lens luxation

note cataractous lens anterior to iris + iris is hyperaemic due to underlying anterior uveitis (feline)

59
Q

what dos?

A

lens subluxation

aphakic (without a lens) crescent laterally
in order for aphakic crescent to be noted, zonules have to be missing

lens still in relatively normal position, hence SUBluxation

60
Q

what is lens luxation? what are the two types?

A

dislocation of lens form its normal anatomic location. zonules need to be disrupted.

anterior lens luxation: lens located in anterior chamber (in front of iris)

posterior lens luxation: lens behind iris, may visualize aphakic crescent between iris and lens equator

61
Q

what two things can you see with lens subluxation?

A

iridodonesis: trembling of iris with movement of eye

phacodonesis: trembling of lens with movement of eye

62
Q

true or falsE: lens subluxation can be asymptomatic

A

true

63
Q

what causes lens luxation?

A

primary:

- chronic uveitis (most common in cats)
- trauma
- age

64
Q

what is the relationship between glaucoma and lens luxation?

A

lens luxation can cause glaucoma, and glaucoma can cause lens luxation.

65
Q

a dog has glaucoma + lens luxation. how can you tell which came first?

A

primary lens luxation + secondary glaucoma: no buphthalmia, lens luxated anteriorly

primary glaucoma + secondary lens luxation: buphthalmia, posterior lens luxation

66
Q

how do you treat lens subluxation?

A

medication to induce miosis (Lantanoprost) to trap lens behind iris

67
Q

how do you treat posterior lens luxation?

A

induce miosis (lantanoprost)

68
Q

how do you treat primary anterior lens luxation?

A

remove lens ASAP (esp if IOP elevated)

80
Q

what is chorioretinitis? what is the difference between if it’s diffuse vs small/focal?

chorioretinitis can be associated with…?

A

inflammation of the choroid and retina

diffuse: can cause retinal detachment
small/focal: no notifiable signs may be appreciated.

can be assoc with anterior uveitis and is often a manifestation of systemic disease
