25
fluorescein retention test
dye should drain within 3-5 mins --> indicates proper tear turnover prolonged retention indicates poor drainage
26
S/Sx of lacrimal disease
lumps, bumps, swelling in areas of puncta, canaliculi and lacrima sac excessively high/low tear meniscuc excessive tearing/watery eye/epiphora
27
excessive lacrimation (hypersecretion)
due to overproduction of tears from lacrimal gland - reflex secondary to inflammation or ocular surface disease - usually due to inflammation / dry eye
28
epiphora (defective drainage)
problem with lacrimal drainage system - obstruction of the drainage system (puncta to nasolacrimal duct) - malposition of puncta lacrimal pump failure
29
primary jones test aka jones test 1
indicates when partial obstruction of drainage system is suspected (ddx: partial obstruction of lacrimal passages from primary hypersecretion of tears)
30
secondary jones test aka jones test 2
identifies the probable site of partial obstruction
31
dilation and irrigation
test for obstruction of the lacrimal system - local anaesthetic instilled into conjunctival sac lower punctum is dilated - saline-filled syringe is inserted into the lower punctum - saline is released to check for obstructions this is done after neg. jones test 2, which is repeated again positive result = NaFl entered lacrimal sac, so blockage likely nasolacrimal duct negative result = NaFl did not enter the lacrimal sac, so blockage likely in puncta, canaliculi, or common canaliculus (ie. somewhere further up)
32
signs of conjunctival disease
discharge, hyperemia, chemosis, xerosis (drying), follicles, papillae, membranes
33
haemorrhage
blood outside of blood vessels | idiopathic, traumatic, viral infections (petechial), bacterial infections (rare; larger, diffuse)
34
chemosis
inflammatory response of the conj. swelling due to severe inflammation - acute = allergy / hypersensitivity, severe infection - chronic - orbital outflow constriction, chronic allergy, thyroid eye disease, surgery, trauma, systemic disease
35
follicles
foci of hyperplastic lymphoid tissue - multiple, discrete elevated lesions (like translucent grains of rice, circled by small blood vessels at base) - suggest viral or chlamydial infection
36
papillae
d: hyperplastic epithelial growth within central vessels s: multiple, discrete elevated lesions - usually in palpebral conj or at limbus
37
infiltration
cellular recruitment to the site of chronic inflammation | - loss of detail of normal conj vessels
38
pseudomembranes vs true membranes
pseudo: coagulated exudate adheres to conj - can be peeled away and won't bleed by not actually attached to conj true: infiltration of superficial layers of conj - tear skin when you try to peel bc u are actually tearing the epithelial layer of the conj
39
xerosis
areas of conjunctival dryness - areas of dehydration of the conj - conj keratinises, becoming more like the skin of our body
40
layers of the cornea
``` epithelium bowmans layer stroma (dua layer) descemets membrane endothelium ```
41
punctate epithelial keratitis
hallmark of viral disease granular, opalescent, swollen epithelial cells (visible with/without stain)
42
subepithelial infiltrates
tiny foci of non-staining inflammatory infiltrates | cause: often severe, or prolonged infection or inflammation
43
epithelial oedema
epithelial layer becomes swollen sign of endothelial decompensation, acute elevation of IOP (so much fluid on cornea, that even the epi layer starts to swell) mild cases: tiny epithelial vesicles - loss of normal cornea lustre moderate-severe: bullae
44
filaments
specific sign for severe dry eye Eye has become so dry that the mucus is unable to stay wet, thus builds up on each other → becomes stuck onto cornea and conjunctiva - small comma-shaped mucus strands lined with epithelium
45
vascularisation
feature of chronic ocular surface irritation or hypoxia - contact lens wear - small superficial blood vessels grow from limbus towards the corneal centre - pannus - Degenerative (or inflammatory) subepithelial ingrowth of fibrovascular tissue from the limbus + superficial vascularization
46
infiltrates
focal areas of active stromal inflammation - composed of accumulation of inflammatory cells and cellular debris - yellow/grey/white opacities in ant. stroma --> associtaed w limbal or conj. hyperaemia
47
PEDAL
``` P ain E pithelial defect D ischarge A nterior chamber L ocation ```
48
stromal oedema
increased corneal thickness + loss of clarity | - caused by keratoconus, Fuchs dystrophy etc
49
Descemet's membrane folds
corneal oedema exceeding the capacity of the endothelium
50
Descemet's membrane breaks
corneal enlargement - birth trauma, keratoconus - may result in acute aqueous influx into cornea = corneal hydrops
51
descemetocele
Bubble-like herniation of Descemet membrane into the cornea
52
ulceration
tissue excavation associated w inflammation and defect
53
Seidel test
demonstrates aqueous leakage. Fluorescein is instilled → watch for dilution from aqueous fluid Seidel test tries to create situations where it can be apparent that it is some liquid that doesn’t have fluorescein thats going to be on the surface of the eye Eg. putting a bunch of fluorescein on the area where you think the wound is Observing that area , you will see that the colour will go from reddish-orange to green → suggestive of a positive seidel Another method: placing NaFl over entire tear film - Any area that gets diluted/might be leaking, might be an area where there is no green at all This method might be harder to interpret
54
iris atrophy
atrophy of part or all of iris structures | signs: light leakage through iris on retroillumination
55
synechiae
adhesions between iris and some other structure - w posterior cornea = ant. synechiae - w anterior lens = posterior synechiae
56
hyphema
blood in the anterior chamber | - blood settles on the bottom due to gravity
57
hypopyon
purulent exudate composed of inflammatory cells that settle in the anterior chamber (similar to hyphema but inflammatory cells built up within the ant. chamber) sigbs: pus/white exudate at bottom of ant. chamber
58
cells and flare
breakdown of blood-aq. barrier - allows cells and protein and immune cells into ant. chamber
59
mydriasis
pupil dilation - excite symp - inhibit parasymp
60
miosis
pupil contriction - excite parasymp - inhibit symp
61
corectopia
irregular pupil shape, off centre
62
polycoria
more than one pupil opening; multiple openings within the iris
63
colobomas
incomplete pupil; 'keyhole' pupils | - failure of the optic fissure to close during development
64
hypoplasia; aniridia
no/little iris
65
scleral nodule
focal area of scleral oedema | - raised area of sclera/episclera
66
scleral thinning
thinning of scleral tissue due to inflammation
