MT 1 Flashcards
CME with leakage on FA
Diabetic Retinopathy, BRVO, Idiopathic retinal telangiectasia, psuedophakia or aphacia
CME without leakage on FA
macular hole, neovascularization, RP, nicotinic acid maculopathy.
Cause of Macular hole
Idiopathic-premenstrual women. Myopia-staphyloma Trauma, solar retinopathy
Cause of epiretinal membrane
Retinal vascular dz, intraocular inflammation, trauma, retinal procedures
Stage I of Macular hole
Decreased or absent foveal depression, yellow deposits, Macular cyst. no hole
Stage II of macular hole
Peripheral macular detachment. Increased yellow deposits. Takes weeks-months to get here from I.
Stage III of macular hole
Macular hole. Quick from II. 1/3DD punched out area. 20/200 or worse. May see operculum.
Stage IV of macular hole
May get better VA with lessening of edema. Complete hole cuff. Complete PVD. May see operculum.
What layers of retina get fluid in CME
OPL and INL.
Criteria for CSME
- Retinal edema within 500 nanometer of fovea 2. hard exudates within 500 nanometers of fovea with adjacent edema 3. edema 1 DD (1500) that is within 1DD to the fovea.
Central Serous Retinopathy vs. Pigment Epithelial Detachment
Central serous the RPE is still in place. PED the RPE is also displaces
What do you see on FA with CSR
Umbrella or smokestack.
How long does CSR typically recover
1-6 months. Can do photocoagulation for quicker results. Can also give low plus for hyperopic shift.
Selective Retinal Therapy
For CSR with PED. Treats RPE and spares photo.
Dioxide laser therapy
Can also be used to treat CSR.
Lacquer cracks
Breaks in brush’s membrane. Can lead to choroid neovascularization.
Findings with Myopic Macular Degeneration
Posterior staphyloma, lacquer cracks, fuch’s spots.
Plaqunil/hydroxycholorquine/cholorquine screening
Baseline DFE, DFE within one year, DFE every year after 5 years if no risk factors. Run 30-2 or 24-2 on Asians and 10-2 on all other patients.
Risk factors for plaqunil maculopathy
550 mg every day for 3 years. Worse with tamoxifine.
Where does plaqunil deposit
REP and chord. Pigment areas.
Cinchonism
Cause by an overdose of quinie. Fixed dilated pupils, retinal edema, VF restriction, ON atrophy, VA loss.
Thioridazine + chlorpromazine
Used to treat psychosis. 2400> of chlorpromazine and 800> thioridazine. Salt and pepper retinopathy. Decreased VAs and poor dark adaption. Pigmentation of macula–> geographical defects of RPE.
Tamoxifene
Drug used to treat breast cancer. Rarely vortex keratopathy and ON. Can get yellow crystal deposits in macula with VA loss.
Canthaxathin
Promotes suntanning. Can get yellow deposits in retina. Typically benign.
Talc maculopathy
Filler in tablets. Asymptotic primarily. Consult for pulmonary exam. Drug counseling. Yearly DFE and photos.
Micro talc Retinopathy
Glaucoma like loss. Finer. Ends up in NFL.
Solar Retinopathy
2 weeks after exposure. Lamellar hole or foveal cyst. VAs can be normally but central scotoma seen. Start as foveal edema or exudate. Resolve in 1-6 months.
Histoplasmosis
Ohio-Missisipi Area. Chicken Poop. Classic Triad 1. Histo spots 2. peripapillary atrophy 3. CNVM. The CNVM is normally late. Treat with photocoagulation. FA and Amsler for other eye as can spread.
Toxocara Canis
Granuloma central or by ON. Can have bands connecting them.
Toxoplasmosis
When active have car lights in a fog. When quite: pigmented atrophic scar.
Toxoplasmosis tx
Pyrimethamine, sulfadiazine, clindamycin, steroid, vitrecotmy, photocoagulation.
Angoid Associated Findings
- Peur’d orange or leopard spot-temporal to macula. May precede angoid. 2. Salmon spot: peripapillary atrophy 3. ON Drusen
Angoid Streaks
Break in brush’s membrane secondary to REP/Chorio changes. Hyperfluoo on FA.
Angoid Streak Complications
- Neovascularization 2. Rupture of choroid 3. Foveal involvement.
Granbold-straddleberg syndrome
PXE + Angoid
PXE
Inherited connective tissue disease. 4 kinds. 80% have angoid streaks. Have chicken skin (esp. on neck), cardio dz, and GI hemorrhages.
Paget’s Syndrome
Osteogenesis imperfecti. large skulls, kyphosis, deformed bones. Deafness is common. Angoid streaks in 2%.
Ehlers-Dalos Syndrome
Rare AD disease. Hyper flexible joints and skin. Have high myopia, epicanthal folds, keratoconus, blue sclera, lens sublimation, RD. Angoid streaks associated.
Sickle Cell and Thalesemmia
See angoid streaks.
Choroid Rupture
Occurs with trauma. White and concentric to ON. If greater than 200 from fovea can do photocoagulation if neovascularization. Neo is the main complication. Can occur d to weeks following trauma. Monitor with amsler.
Choroidal Folds
Normally horizontal. Can cause decreased VA or metamorphism. Common around macula.
What cause choroidal folds
- idiopathic-common with hyper 2. Orbital dz. 3. Choroidal tumor 4. decreased IOP chronic. Also associated with Retinopathy of prematurity.
Idiopathic Juxtafoveal Retinal Telangectasia
Mildest rare retinal vascular anomalies. Have retinal v. dilation, exudates, aneurysm.
Leber’s Miliary Aneuyrsm
Moderate retinal v. anomolies
Coat’s Disease
Severe retinal v. anomalies.
Groups of IJT
- Men and seen by Dr. 2. Either gender. VA poor. FA helps. 3. Rarest. Poor macula O2. CNS strokes.
AREDS Category 1
Total area of less than 5 small (<63 micrometers) of drusen. 20/32 or better VA in both eyes.
ARED Category 2

Geographic atrophy in the macular center or neo
AREDS Category 4b
VA worse than 20/32 with AMD the cause.
What categories benefited in the AREDS study
3 and 4
Smoking increases risk of geographic atrophy by ____ and CNV by ____
2x geo and 3x neo.
What does obesity put you at a greater risk for and by how much
93% more likely to develop chorioretinal geographic atrophy.
AMD and Diet
50% decrease risk with omega fatty acids. 36% decrease with fruit.
AREDS 2
Can eliminate beta carotene and decrease zine dose.
LAST Study
Lutein supplementation can help recover function.
Recommendations with AMD Test
- If no CFH and 1 or 2 ARMS2 alleles–> zinc 2. If 1 or 2 CFH and no ARMS2 alleles–>vitamins.
Macular photocoagulation study
Found that all VA was better than observed eye. Not good for subfoveal and good initial VA.
Visudyne laser therapy
Inject visudyne in arm and trace back and laser fires and clogs the neo. Dries up and dies. Very effective. Good VAs as long as Neo is not too big and VAs weren’t good initially (<20/50).
Macugen/pegaptanib
Anti-VEGF. Used to be very popular. Does decrease vision loss.
Macugen
Pegatpamnib
Lucentis
