How does it affect the ON

A

pituitary tumor is a cause of RETROGRADE DEGENERATION.

BOW TIE PALLOR of the ON (remember that fibers that are b/t the macula and the ON are NASAL) – this is reason for the bow tie pallor… all of those fibers cross and are compressed by the tumor

78
Q

Are BRAO or CRAO more commonly caused by Hollenhorst Plaques

A

BRAO

CRAO: calcific emboli from heart is more common

79
Q

Is anterior seg neo more common following vein or artery Occlusions

A

VEIN = Anterior seg neo

80
Q

What should be in the DDX of BRAO

A

Myelinated nerve fibers
CWS

81
Q

What does the retina look like 3 weeks post CRAO

A

Normal - The superficial whitening seen acutely in the inner layers resolved, vision does not improve.

ACUTE SIGNS
- narrow arteries - think: there is no blood coming from CRA… the branches are empty
- cherry red spot - can see down to the choroid
- ON pallor seen later on due to ortho grade degeneration of GC axons (ortho = towards brain)
- APD

ERG: The A wave will be NORMAL bc PR are supplied by the choroid. The B wave will be gone due to deal of the INL which is supplied by the CRA and the location of the Muller and Bipolar Cell Bodiea

82
Q

Other than emboli, what can cause a CRAO

A

GCA, Acute elevation in IOP, IV drug use, collagen vascular dz, sickle cell

the worst thing than can occur due to an acute angle closure is CRAO.

83
Q

What commonly causes CRAO and BRAO.

A

MC cause: Atherosclerosis
Emboli from the heart and from the carotid
Heart = larger = more likely to occlude the CRA
Carotid = smaller cholesterol plaques (Hollenhorst)

Patients with retinal emboli should be evaluated for underlying carotid artery and cardiac disease
Carotid Doppler and EKG/Echo (for heart)

84
Q

What should be evaluated when a BRVO does not occur at a AV crossing

A

Systemic Vasculitis
- remember that arteries and veins share the common adventitia

85
Q

What is the retinal location that is most common for BRVO

A

Superior/ST is the MC location for BRVO

This is also the location for retinal detachments =)

86
Q

What is the most common retinal vascular occlusive disease

A

BRVO is by far the most common retinal vascular occlusive disease

87
Q

Where do collaterals form in CRVOs

A

On the disc

88
Q

Definition of ischemic CRVO
Non ischemic CRVO
#1 cause of Vision loss in both types

A

Ischemic = >10 DD
Non ischemic <10

Macular disease is the number one cause of VL in both

89
Q

Complications of CRVO

A

90 day glc
Vit heme
Pre Retinal heme
Tractional RD
Macular Disease (ischemia, edema, macular hemes)

90
Q

A

Pre Retinal Heme
Vit Heme
Tractional RD

NVG (only in DM and Vein Occlusions)

Q

What should be considered in CRVOs and BRVOs in young patients

A

Oral contraceptives
Protein C/S Def
Antithrombin 3 def
Factor 12 def
AIDS
Collagen vascular dz

92
Q

What other ocular condition is highly associated with CRVO

A

POAG is commonly associated with CRVOs up to 40-60% of patients have POAG — WATCH THE OTHER EYE IN YEARS TO COME

93
Q

Cause of vein occlusion
Cause of artery occlusion

A

Vein - thrombi
Artery - emboli from carotid or heart

A

HTN

95
Q

Number one cause of vascular related vision loss

A

Diabetes

96
Q

What is the most common cause of spontaneous vitreous heme

A

Diabetes

97
Q

What is the difference between a pre-retinal heme and a vitreous heme. What must occur for a vitreous heme to happen?

A

Is the posterior hyaloid intact?
Yes > Pre-retinal heme
No > Vitreous heme

If the posterior hyaloid has peeled off of the ILM (complete PVD) => vitreous heme

98
Q

Why is pre-retinal neo leaky

A

Lack of endothelial tight junctions

99
Q

Cause of pre-retinal neo

A

DRVOS
DM
ROP
Vein Occlusions
OIS
Sickle Cell

100

A

Red free - green in color

-Use it to look at NFL, choroidal lesions, and small retinal Hermes

  • choroidal nevi will DISAPPEAR with red free filter
118
Q

Which way should you move your lens and yourself if you see a rental heme to the right of you +20 condensing lens

A

You want to rock toward the direction you want to look as well as move the lens on that direction

119
Q

Image formed by BIO is:

A

Real
Inverted
Flipped laterally
Magnified
Located between the doctor and the condensing lens

120
Q

Image formed by a 78 or 90 is:

A

Real
Inverted
Flipped laterally
Magnified

The higher powered lens = decreased mag = increased FOV

121
Q

Images formed by three mirror are:

A

Inverted anterior to posterior but not laterally

122
Q

how does the ocular hypertension treatment trial grade ocular hypertension?

A

greater than 24

123
Q

ISNT rule

A

nerves should have most rim tissue inferior , then superior etc

glaucoma can affect inf or superior rim

124
Q

what is PXF glaucoma associated with

A

poor pupil dilation
increased risk of lens subluxation
weak zonules - cataract surgery complications

125
Q

who gets PDG?
symptoms
signs

A

white 30-40

myopes males

blurry vision/haloes after exercise

TIDs, krukenburg spindle, TM pigment
- pigment dispersion can decrease over time as lens thickens , but TM damage permanent from pigment so IOP will stay elevated

126
Q

Bullet or thumbnail shows

A

Ora or ant chamber angle

127
Q

Square mirror shows:

A

Anterior equator to the ora
(periphery)

128
Q

Trapezoid mirror shows:

A

ON to equator

129
Q

Hruby lens
Image?
Magnification?
Stereo?

A

Erect
Magnified
Has stereo

130
Q

UGH syndrome is a very uncommon complication characterized by: and seen in what kind of IOL

A

AC-IOL rubs on the iris –> hyphema –> and uveitis –> RBC and WBC trapped in the TM = glc

131
Q

What will CME show with FANG

A

Hyerfluorescent leakage within the macula will show a petaloid pattern around the ON

132
Q

Pigmentary Dispersion Glaucoma

A

result from a temporary higher anterior chamber pressure that causes excessive bowing of the iris posteriorly, resulting in more contact between the iris and the lens zonules

asymptomatic unless exercise/ pupil dilation have blurry vision and halos

133
Q

raynaud’s phenomenon

A

decreased blood flow to fingers
- risk factor for NTG

134
Q

What layer of the retina does CME form in

A

OPL

135
Q

Pathophysiology of CME following cat sx

A

Surgical trauma => inflammation => disruption of the lens/vitreous interface => inflammatory cells (prostaglandins) have an easier time getting to the posterior pole to cause inflammation.

136
Q

peak incidence of CME post cat sx

A

6-10 weeks - most cases resolve 6 months

137
Q

most common cause of CME.

A

Cataract surgery
- called Irvine Gass Syndrome

138
Q

Elschnig Pearls

A

type of PCO that is most common in children who undergo cat extraction

139
Q

how does a PCO form

A

epithelial cells migrate (bladder cells) to and proliferate over the posterior capsule – resulting in opacification

140
Q

most common post op complication of cataract sx

A

PCO

141
Q

most common bacterial cause of post op endopthalmitis

A

Staph Epidermidis (from lids)

142
Q

What are three ocular complication of Ehler’s Danlos and Osteogenesis imperfecta

A
  1. Blue sclera
  2. Keratoconnus
  3. Megalocornea (X linked)

OI DOES NOT NOT NOT CAUSE LENS SUBLUXATION

143
Q

What systemic dz are known to cause lens subluxation

A
  1. ED
  2. Marfans
  3. Homocystinuria
  4. Weill - Marchesani (known for having a very small lens that dislocates causing pupil block)

NOT OSTEOGENISIS IMPERFECTA

144
Q

What is the most serious ocular complication in Marfans

A

RD

remember: Marfan’s patients also have heart defects

145
Q

What is most common cause of lens subluxation

A

Trauma
- also see in PXF,Marfans, ED

(not O.I.)

146
Q

What must be ruled out in toxic anterior segment syndrome? What causes it?

A

R/o: infectious endopthalmitis
caused by chemical exposure during sx, ex: preservatives, toxins

causes uveitis/immune rxn to toxins from the lens

147
Q

How many days post op cat sx is acute post op bacterial endopthalmitis seen

A

2-3 days

148
Q

Most common placement of IOL

A

Capsular bag

149
Q

Which form of ECCE breaks the cataract up into fragments with an ultrasound before the removal

A

Phacoemulsification - virtually all cat sx in America use this
uses a CLEAR CORNEAL INCISION FOR LENS REMOVAL
