How can be applied to eyes
solutions- can see through, evaporates gels - fat ointments - more fat better contact tme medicated contacts collagen sheilds injection
what types of eye meds
- anesthetic - opthane
- staining agents
- mydriatics - dialate
- cycloplegics - paralysis of accomination
- miotics
what should you do if anyone comes with eye complaint
always do a visual aquity exam, may need opthane anesthetic if necessary
down side of eye anesthesia, corneal abrasion
slows down eye epithelia healing** increase risk of infection ulcer
myriatics
dialte puple
cycloplegics
paralysis of accommodation
miotics
pupillary constriction
2 agents for eye exams
mydriatics - dilate
mytotics - pupil constriction
Fluroescein dye: orange
affixes to damage in eye, abrasion, infx, ulceraion then luminesence
- can stain contact lenses
light to use with fluroescein
Colbalt blue light
whaat infections can you see
- herpes keratitis
- herpes zoster
how is fluroescein dye appliec
imbeded pieces of paper, wet with salene then hold against lower lid in multiple
ocular steroids
herpes infection:

- contact lense - most common***
- envirionment
what do OTC lubricants ususally have
Glycerin solutions
Cyclosporine/Restasis
anti rejection drug immune modulation
wetting agent for eyes
MOS cyclosporine
T cell inhibition diminished inflammation which allows tear production
Conjunctivitis
Pink eye

- viral
- bacterial
- ultraviolet burns
- chemical toxins
- contact overuse
conjunctivits, sx
conjunctivitys is itchy, lid swelling and discharge, but no swelling over iris and pupil,

why zinc in visine
act as astringent to keep from watering .

how can Vidarabine /ara-a be used
ointmen
IV for systemic used, Ie herpes in eye
problem with glaucoma
damage optic nerve,
visual field loss,
leading to blindness

swelling of the schelera if the eye
how is glaucoma treated
- Beta blockers
- prostaglandins analogues to shrink pupil- more space to drain
beta blockers
light headedness
