Ophthalmology Flashcards
Visual acuity grades
Snellen acuity –> counting fingers –> hand motion –> light perception –> no light perception
Color vision test
Ishihara plates (pseudoisochromatic)
Visual field test
confrontation
automated (humphrey, goldmann, tangent screen)
Amsler grid
Shallow anterior chamber
> 2/3 side of iris in shadow
Slit lamp dyes
fluorescein, rose bengal
tonometry
Goldmann applanation
tonopen
Top 3 Dx acute vision loss
Trauma/foreign
retinal artery/vein occlusion
retinal detachment
Top 3 Dx chronic vision loss Reversible
cataract
refractive error
corneal dystrophy
Top 3 Dx chronic vision loss irreversible
ARMD
glaucoma
diabetic retinopathy
Treat corneal abrasion
Antibiotic drop/ointment
NSAID
cycloplegic
tight patch
Retinal detachment presentation
sudden, flash and floater, curtain of blackness, loss central, decreased IOP, loss red reflex
Retinal detachment management
laser cryotherapy
slceral buckle
pneumatic retinopexy
vitrectomy
CRAO/BRAO presentation
monocular loss vision (painless unless temporal arteritis)
Hx amaurosis fugax
RAPD
fundoscopy = cherry-red, retinal pallor, narrowed arterioles, cotton-wool, hollenhorst (cholesterol)
CRVO/BRVO presentation
HTN, DM, CAD, glaucoma, hyperviscosity, drugs (OCP, diuretic)
hemorrhage, cotton wool, congestion, RAPD, blood and thunder appearance, venous engorge, macular edema, swollen optic disc
Diabetic retinopathy
Non-proliferative: dot/blot hemorrhage, microaneurysm, exudate, beading, cotton wool
Proliferative: neovascularization
