Ocular disorders Flashcards
Chronic lipogranulomatous inflammation of the meibomian gland
Chalazion
Acute inflammation of the eyelash follicles
Hordeolum
Common infectious agent in hordeolum
Mainly by S aureus
Pt presents with conjunctival hyperemia, eye discharge, foreign body sensation, and photophobia
Conjunctivitis
Conjunctivitis with thick, purulent discharge
Bacterial
Conjunctivitis with watery or mucoid discharge
Viral
Small, raised, yellowish-white hyperplasia of lymphatic tissue in the eye
Conjunctival follicles, seen in viral conjunctivitis
Often due to silver nitrate exposure within 24 hours after birth
Chemical neonatal conjunctivitis
Onset and presentation of gonococcal neonatal conjunctivitis
2-7 days after birth with purulent ocular discharge and pronounced eyelid swelling
Onset and presentation of chlamydial neonatal conjunctivitis
5-23 days after birth with watery/mucopurulent ocular discharge and mild eyelid swelling
Common causal agent of viral neonatal conjunctivitis
HSV II
Onset and presentation of viral neonatal conjunctivitis
Within 14 days after birth with nonpurulent ocular discharge, corneal ulceration, and periocular vesicles
Fibrovascular Ct that migrates on to the cornea, associated with chronic sun exposure
Pterygium
Small, yellowish, submucosal elevation of protein and lipid deposits in the eye that does not invade the cornea
Pinguecula
Fluorescein staining in bacterial keratitis
Round corneal infiltrate or ulcer
Keratitis features in shingles
Punctate or dendritic lesions on the corneal surface
Fluorescein staining in herpes simplex keratitis
Superficial corneal erosions, geographic ulcer
Corneal ring infiltrate, associated with contact lens use
Late-stage acanthamoeba keratitis
Inflammation under an intact corneal epithelium
Stromal/interstitial keratitis
Infective causes of stromal/interstitial keratitis
Syphilis
TB
Leprosy
Pt presents with foreign body sensation, severe ocular pain, photophobia, and blurred vision. They have immigrated from an impoverished country and have had a cough. On exam cornea appears hazy with ground glass/steamy appearance
Stromal/interstitial keratitis
Non-inflammatory corneal condition where it becomes thinner and develops a conic shape, bulging outward at the center
Keratoconus
Conditions associated with keratoconus
Down syndrome
Marfan syndrome
Complication of keratoconus
corneal hydrops –> rupture of descemet membrane
Microscopy shows thinning of the cornea with breaks in the Bowman layer
Keratoconus
Annular deposits of lipids appear around the corneal margin, associated with normal aging.
Arcus senilis/corneal arcus
Green-brown, copper deposits within Descemet’s membrane, associated with Wilson disease
Kayser-Gleischer ring
Disease associated with Kayser-Gleischer ring
Wilson disease
Earliest manifestation of vit A deficiency
Night blindness and impaired vision
Epithelial metaplasia and keratinization of eye with xerophthalmia, Bitot spots, keratomalacia.
Vit A deficiency
Characterized by optic disc atrophy with cupping
Glaucoma
Progressive visual field loss starting with peripheral vision until tunnel vision
Open angle/primary glaucoma
General secondary cause of open angle glaucoma
Blocked trabecular meshwork from debris
Primary cause of angle-closure glaucoma in elderly
Thickness of lens increases with age
Secondary causes of angle-closure glaucoma
Neovascular glaucoma (DM)
Scaring
Lens dislocation
Mydriatic agents
Pt presents with sudden acute loss of vision, unilateral inflamed and painful eye, frontal HA, blurred vision, and halos around light.
Closed angle glaucoma
Reduced aqueous outflow leading increase in intraocular pressure that compresses retinal blood supply with optic dis atrophy and cupping
Glaucoma
Cholinergic agent for glaucoma
Pilocarpine
Acts on M3 receptors to cause contraction of sphincter pupillae and longitudinal ciliary muscle to increases trabecular outflow
Pilocarpine
Adverse effects of Pilocarpine
Superficial punctate keratitis
Brow ache
Induced myopia
Increased risk of retinal detachment
Iritis
Most widely used ocular hypotensive agent
Timolol
Conditions that contraindicate use of Timolol in glaucoma
COPD
Asthma
HF
Selective beta-1-blocker used for glaucoma
Betaxolol
Beta-blocker used in glaucoma with an additional neuroprotective effect
Betaxolol
Mechanism of beta-blockers in treating glaucoma
Decreases aqueous humor production by blocking beta receptors on ciliary epithelium
Nonselective adrenergic agents used in treating glaucoma
Epinephrine
Dipvefrin
