Presentation of Viral Conjunctivitis
Bilateral Watery Discharge Easily transmissable Normal vision Itchy Preauricular adenopathy No tx
Presentation of Bacterial Conjunctivitis
Unilateral Purulent, thick Discharge Poorly transmissable Normal vision Not Itchy No adenopathy Topical Abx
Presentation of Chalazion
Pathophys
Painful swelling progresses to nodular rubbery lesion
Obstruction of meibomian gland - granulomatous
If persistent, think meibomian gland carcinoma (sebaceous ca)
Basal Cell Carcinoma on eye
Solitary nodule on lid margin MC malignant tumor of eye Fair skinned ppl Hx - sun exposure Pearly quality, rolled edges Bleed, ulcerate Thinning of eyelashes
Itchy eyes, discharge, normal pupils
Conjunctivitis
Pain and fixed midpoint pupil
Glaucoma
Trauma and feels like sand in eyes
Abrasion
How does open angle glaucoma present
Gradual onset
Loss of peripheral vision = tunnel vision
How does acute angle-closure glaucoma present
Sudden onset Extremely painful Red eye Hard on palpation Pupil does not react to light Greater than 0.3 cup to disc ratio
How is acute angle-closure glaucoma diagnosed
Tonometry
How is chronic glaucoma diagnosed
Tonometry shows increased IOP
Tx for Chronic Glaucoma
- PG Analogues - latanoprost, etc
- Topical Beta blockers - Timolol, Carteolol…
- Topical CA Inhibitors - Dorzolamide
- Alpha 2 agonists - Apraclonidine
- Pilocarpine
- Laser btrabeculoplasty
TX for acute angle-closure glaucoma
- IV Acetazolamide
- IV Mannitol - osmotic draws fluid out
- Pilocarpine and beta blockers constrict pupil, increase drainage
- Laser Iridotomy
What is keratitis
Infxn of cornea
