Ophthalmoscopy Flashcards
an objective examination to determine the presence and absence of pathology
Ophthalmoscopy
Large aperture is used in ______ pupils to be able to see even in the periphery of the fundus.
dilated
EOR of dilated pupil
Myopia
most appropriate to use when px’s pupil is 3.5 to 5 mm (normal or also called undilated pupil), or when you do not know the size
Medium aperture
used in constricted pupils mostly observed in hyperopic patients
SMALL APERTURE
used when there is opacity in the transparent media or any pathology in the fundus (ex: cataract)
Half light aperture
Kinds of Measuring ophthalmoscope or graticules
Line or slit graticule
Grid graticule
detects elevation and depression in the fundus
Line or slit graticule
If line graticule is CLEAR and STRAIGHT
NO ABNORMALITY
Line graticule becomes BLUR and CROOKED
presence of ELEVATION or DEPRESSION within the fundus
If power indicator is RED or towards minus, there is ________________ ; if it is GREEN or towards plus, there is ________________
DEPRESSION
ELEVATION
use to approximate relative distance between retinal lesions, assess cup-disc ratio
Grid graticule
Measurement per circle of grid graticule
0.1
Filters
Red free (green)
Cobalt blue
Neutral or yellow
Polarising
FIlter
enhanced contrast in blood vessels and hemorrhages. It is used to differentiate between microaneurysms (dot) and deep hemorrhages (blot)
Red free
- Thin, lighter red
- Thick, darker red
- Arteries
- Veins
Cobalt Blue Filter is used after staining with________________ to observe corneal abrasions, punctate keratitis a nd lesions in the cornea
fluorescein dye
Widely used filter
Neutral or yellow filter
What kind of filter reduces UV exposure
Neutral or yellow filter
few direct ophthalmoscope are fitted with this filter to reduce glare during retinal examination
Polarising filter
Starting point of ophthalmoscopy
1. Examining ROR
2. Examining anterior or external adnexa
- Zero/examiner’s EOR
- +20.00D or maximum amount
Why is ROR red-orange?
because the light reflects, bounces back on the blood vessels within the fundus
Negative ROR can be due to:
opacities in transparent media (cornea, lens, AH and VH)
retinal detachment
lesions in the retina
If with movement, what is the location of the opacity?
1. Rapid
2. Slow
- Cornea
- Anterior to the crystalline lens or at the Aqueous Humor
If the opacity does not move with the instrument or eye, where is it located?
At the crystalline lens
If the opacity moves against the movement of the instrument or eye, where is it located?
Posterior to the lens (VH/retina)
Used to identify the EOR present, or if the px has amblyopia or strabismus
Bruckner test
What eor
Superior light crescent
Hyperopia
What eor
Inferior light crescent
Myopia
Normal CD ratio
0.3 - 0.4
Which is more tortous? (Veins/arteries)
Arteries
Which shoould not be pulsating? (Veins/arteries)
Arteries
What is the EOR is the optic disc is slightly bigger?
Myopic
What is the EOR is the optic disc is slightly smaller?
Hyperopic
What is the type of astigmatism if optic disc is slightly vertically oval?
Against the rule
What is the type of astigmatism if optic disc is slightly horizontally oval?
With the rule astigmatism
What is the black ring surrounding the optic cup?
Choroidal ring
What is the white ring surrounding the optic disc?
Scleral ring
observed when the px is looking at the light or the ear of examiner
Macula
True or false
Macula has blood vessels
False
It is devoid of blood vessels
What is the plus lens used in binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy?
Condensing lens
In indirect Ophthalmoscopy, image is
Real and inverted
A 90D lens used as condensing lens in indirect ophthalmoscopy
Vogt lens
