Lens Flashcards
Vacuoles, clefts and Wedges seen with this type of cataract.
Cortical
This type of cataract is common with uveitis, RP and trauma
Posterior subcapsular
Complete opacification &Lens starts to swell
Advanced - mature
Complete liquefaction of the cortex
Hyper mature- morgagnian
What type of cataract caused from these systemic diseases? Diabetes Galactosemia Wilson’s disease Atopic dermatitis Steroids Miotics Chloroquine Amiodarone
Anterior/posterior sub capsular
From Anterior segment ischemia, what type of cataract is caused?
Nuclear s.
UV-B causes……..
Cortical cataract
lens-particle glaucoma
immediate post op 3 days. Cortex material. Physical blockage of AC. Effecting the outflow. Snow balls in AC.
Lens-induced Ocular Disease
phacolytic glaucoma (Leakage of lens proteins)
lens-particle glaucoma
phacoanaphylaxis (rxn to lens antigens)
Significant concerns from surgery
NVG, Chronic uveitis, Blind eye, decreased endothelial cell count
Moderate concerns
Mono.pt., Diabetic retinopathy, POAG, and previous RD
