Ophthalmic and Dental Procedures Flashcards
1
Q
eye - outer layer
A
- sclera: white, fibrous
cornea: anterior part of sclera
conjunctiva: outer cover from limbus to eyelid
2
Q
eye - middle layer
A
- choroid: located posteriorly, blood supply to retina
- iris: controls light entry by changing pupil size, sympathetic=dilate, parasympathetic=constrict
- ciliary body: secrete aqueous fluid and control shape of lens by tension on zonule of Zinn
*called uveal tract
3
Q
eye - innermost layer
A
- retina: converts light impulses to neural impulses
- vitreous gel: attached to blood vessels and optic nerve
4
Q
caruncle
A
lacrimal duct
5
Q
IOP
A
10-22 mmHg
6
Q
three chambers of eye
A
- anterior: cornea to iris, Schlemms Canal is drainage
- posterior: iris to lens, formation
- viterous
7
Q
myopia versus hyperopia
A
myopia: nearsighted, eye is long and stretched, focal point close to lens
hyperopia: farsighted, eye is short and, focal point far from to lens
8
Q
muscles of the eye
A
- four rectus: controlled by oculomotor (III), lateral controlled by abducens (VI), originate at annulus of Zinn
- two oblique: superior oblique = rotation towards nose by trochlear (IV) inferior oblique = rotation sideways by oculomotor (III)
9
Q
optic nerve
A
- CN II
- conveys visual information from retina to occipital lobe
10
Q
facial nerve
A
- CN VII
- branches temporal and zygomatic
- controls tears and eye lid
11
Q
vagus nerve
A
- CN X
- oculocardiac reflex
12
Q
ophthalmic artery
A
- first branch from internal carotid
- medial muscular: medial and inferior rectus, inferior oblique
- lateral muscular: lateral and superior rectus, and superior oblique
- ciliary arteries: short posterior and long posterior
13
Q
techniques to decrease systemic absorption
A
- close eyes for 60 seconds
- do not blink
- pressure on tear outflow canal
14
Q
ocular - cocaine
A
- DCR procedures
- controls bleeding
15
Q
ocular - tetracaine
A
- ester
- onset 1 min
- duration 30 min
- stinging on application
