ophtha-all Flashcards
Vitreous is also attached to (but less firmly )
Optic disk margin
Macula
Post peripheral surface of lens
Anterior condensation of peripheral vitreous forms
Anterior hyaline membrane
Embryological origin of lens
from ectoderm from lens plate of 2 wk old embryo which becomes lens vesicle
Cells of posterior wall of lens vesicle will become
Primary lens fiber (which begins to fill in the cavity of vesicle to constitute the central region “central dark interval”)
Vitrectomy Thru pars plana
Closed vitrectomy
At old age.. What metachromatic color has difficulty reaching the retina?
Blue and violet metachromatic
It is due to opaque particles in vitreous
Impairment of vision
Factors that contributes to transparency of lens
Regular parallel arrangement of fibers with the nuclei at periphery
Curvature of surfaces
Refractive capsule
Location of geometric center at middle
(And in addition, smooth, gradual blending of refractive indices-capsule,cortex and nucleus)
Extra capsular method procedure that utilizes probe frozen -20 C
Cryoextraction
Second sight is due to
Lenticular myopia form change of index of refraction
Metab changes in lens is due to
Increase in Na and Ca content or
Decrease in K, glutathione ans as orbit acid content
(Which may lead to cataract)
It is due to cast on retina by opacities floating in vitreous
Positive scotoma
Symptom of vitreous opacities
Seeing spots in field of vision to actual diminution of vision of varying degree
Volume of vitreous
4ml
Caused by fine aggregates of vitreous protein due to age or myopia
Musca volitantes
Disparity of image size between 2 eyes
Anisokonia
Hypothyroidism is asso with developmental cataract. What is its essential feature?
Low ration of Ca to P in bld
Management for cataract
Surgical removal
How does cataract formed in changes in ciliary body
Catalytic changes in ciliary body which is responsible for increased formation of aqueous with the aid of carbonic anhydrase
In young, surgery should be done ASAP if..
Both eyes have poor vision
Strabismus sets in
How is accommodation in aphakia
Completely lost
Lost of gel-like consistency or conversion of vitreous into liquid
Vitreous liquefaction (syneresis)
As the secondary vitreous increases in vol, the primary vitreous is forced forward to central position, the site of ?
Cloquet’s Canal
Type of senile cataract which tends to become hard and shrunken
Nuclear cataract
