31
Q

Opthalmoscope changes in hypertension

A

AV nipping, flame / blot haemorrhage, cotton wool spots, hard exudates, papilledema

32
Q

Patient has no symptoms, but is extremely bradycardic - what is the most likely diagnosis and underlying cause

3rd degree / complete heart block; sino-atrial disease

33

Smoking / Family History / Cardiovascular Disease or Hypertension / Obesity / Poor Diet / increased age

34
Q

Anti VEGF role in wet macular degeneration

A

Prevents neovascularisation

35
Q

Which type of visual loss is associated with temporal arteritis?

A

anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy

36
Q

What is the presentation of anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (temporal arteritis) on examination

A

shows a swollen pale disc and blurred margins (secondary to optic nerve ischaemia)

37
Q

Treatment of anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy

A

Urgent IV steroids

38
Q

Which ophthalmological condition presents with choroidal neovascularisation

A

Wet macular degeneration

39
Q

What happens to pupil size in anterior uveitis?

A

Constricted

40
Q

Treatment for anterior uveitis / iritis

A

steroid + cycloplegic (mydriatic) drops

41
Q

Which visual problem is a RF for retinal detachment?

A

Myopia (nearsightedness)

42
Q

Differentiate between wet and dry ARMD and why is one worse than the other?

A

In wet ARMD there is retinal neovascularisation from the choroid Which leak and cause oedema and faster vision loss than dry

43
Q

Ophthalmological signs of shaken baby

A

Retinal haemorrhages

44
Q

Pathophysiology of acute angle closure glaucoma

A

The iris bulges forward and seals off the trabecular meshwork from the anterior chamber
This prevents aqueous humour from draining
Increasing the ocular pressure
Which further exacerbates the angle closure, and places pressure on the optic nerve

45
Q

Why is timolol used in acute angle closure glaucoma?

A

Reduce production of aqueous humour

46
Q

Definitive management of acute angle closure glaucoma?

A

Laser iridotomy

47
Q

What investigation is recommended for corneal injury?

A

Fluorescein staining
