Ophthalmic Examination Flashcards
Vision is most tested by evaluating what?
Menace Response
A bluish haze of the stroma with an “orange peel” outline
Edema
Deposition of melanin in the epithelium or superficial stroma, usually caused by chronic irritation
Pigmentation
Individual blood vessels that appear branching.
Vascularization
white-to-yellow haze in the stroma with indistinct borders and in the presence of other signs of active inflammation
Cellular infiltration
Glistening white speckles in the stroma
Lipid or mineral deposition
A white, feathery opacity of the stroma, presents well-defined borders and no other signs of inflammation
Fibrosis
Inflammation of the eyelids
Blepharitits
Inflammatory cells in the anterior chamber
Hypopyon
Microscopic inflammatory material in the anterior chamber, which causes scattering of a well-focused light slit.
Aqueous flare
A clear or opaque sphere in the anterior chamber
Luxated lens
Single or multiple, free-floating or fixed fluid-filled “balloons” that have well-defined borders and can be transilluminated
Uveal cysts
Adhesion of the iris to the cornea or the anterior lens capsule, respectively, will result in an irregularly shaped pupil, and decrease or absent iris motility
Anterior or posterior synechiae
used to evaluate tear production and diagnose keratoconjuctivitis sicca
Schirmer tear test
