A

Carotid cavernous fistula

22
Q

Patient with myopic prescription, cataracts and sudden floaters/flashes is suggestive of?

A

Retinal detachment

23
Q

IV vs oral acetazolamide in patient with acute angle closure glaucoma?

A

IV - secondary care
Oral - community/GP

24
Q

Arteriovenous nipping is assoc with what disease of retina?

A

Hypertensive retinopathy

25
Q

When does prednisolone dose change in GCA?

A

prednisolone 40mg if no visual impairment
60mg if visual symptoms.

26
Q

Definitive treatment of acute angle-closure glaucoma

A

Peripheral laser iridectomy

27
Q

Myopia and hypermetropia are assoc with which type of glaucoma?

A

Myopia (-) - open angle
Hypermetropia (+) - closed angle

28
Q

First line management of open angle glaucoma

A

Prostaglandin analogue
e.g. latanoprost

29
Q

Most common EOM injury in orbital blowout fracture

A

Inferior rectus

30
Q

First line investigation in GCA

A

ESR

31
Q

Proptosis indicates what type of cellulitis?

A

Orbital
- preseptal usually has preceding sinus infection

32
Q

Loss of vision in inner bottom part of vision would indicate what type of retinal detachment?

A

Superior temporal detachment (opposite)

33
Q

Pathology affecting the temporal lobe would result in what kind of visual pathway defect?

A

Contralateral homonymous superior quadrantinopia

34
Q

What happens to rod cells when exposed to light?

A

Rhodopsin is converted into opsin and trans-retinal.
This causes sodium channels to CLOSE and the membrane is HYPERPOLARISED which results in NO neurotransmitter being released into the synapse

A

MS
- suggests optic neuritis

A

Vertical linear defects in the corneal epithelium

38
Q

What complication presenting with floaters can result from posterior uveitis?

A

Exudative posterior vitreous detachment

39
Q

Fundoscopy findings of ischaemic optic neuropathy

A

Optic disc swelling - acute phase
Pale optic disc (suggests optic atrophy) - chronic phase

40
Q

Blunt force to eye assoc with pain, diplopia, limitation of eye movement and endophthalmos suggests?

A
