A

IgG

50
Q

what do the IgG attack in thyroid eye disease

A

hypertrophy of Extraocular muscles caused by increase of glycosaminoglycans

51
Q

if someone has IgG red eye is always going to be thyroid disfunction

A

no

52
Q

Dacrocystitis

A

infection of the lacrimal sac

53
Q

Dacrocystitis forms secondary to what

A

nasolacrimal duct obstruction

54
Q

what is the treatment for Dacrocystitis

A

oral broad spectrum Abx
warm compresses
incision and drainage if medical therapy does not work

55
Q

what is a chalazion

A

chronic lipogranulomatous inflammatory lesion

caused by blockage of Meibomian gland and stagnation of secretions

56
Q

Hordeolum

A

small abscess caused by an acute staph infection of either Meibomian glands (internal) or a lash follicle ( external)

57
Q

what is dry eye from aqueous tear deficieny

A

Keratoconjunctivitis sicca

58
Q

what is a primary cause of keratoconjuctivitis sicca? this processes explains what

A

atrophy and fibrosis of lacrimal tissue as a result of destructive infiltration by mononuclear cells
- why dry eye responds to immune modulators like cyclosporine

59
Q

Bell’s Palsy involves what nerve and what muscle which results in what

A

7th cranial nerve
orbicularis occuli
Lagopthalmos: damage of corneal epithelium and decreased vision

60
Q

Lagopthalmos

A

can’t close eyes completely

61
Q

triangular sheet of fibrovascular tissue which grows over the cornea

A

Pterygium

62
Q

what is the first thing you do with a chemical injury

A

copious irrigation

63
Q

why does infoliation occur

A

lens is completely encapsulated by basement membrane
can’t slough off
- old epithelium and proteins within the lens capsule accumulate over time and the lens increases in size with age as a result
-presbyopia
- cataracts

64
Q

presbyopia

A

loss of elasticity of lens- loss of accommodative ability and near vision
