Ophthamology Flashcards
Anophthalmia
no development of the optic vesicle
usually bilateral
uncommon
Microphthalmia
Miniature globe in normal sized orbit
involution following injury to the globe (in utero trauma, ischemic injury, infection)
Cyclopia
cyclops eye –> SINGLE globe
happens when Ewe ingests VERATRUM CALIFORNICUM on Day 14 of gestation specifically.
Synophthalmia
Duplication of intraocular structures – one eye globe with multiple duplicates of parts inside
also from Ewe eating VERATRUM CALIFORNICAUM on day 14 of pregnancy
Coloboma
OUTPOUCHING of the retina – defect resulting in incomplete closure of the optic fissure (during development)
Entropion and a consequence
INWARD rolling of eyelid margin due to INADEQUATE LENGTH;
Corneal Irritation
Ulceration
Ectropion and a consequence
OUTWARD rolling of the eyelid margin due to EXCESS LENGTH;
Chronic exposure keratitis
Conjunctivitis
Distichiasis
eyelash comes out of Meibomian gland
Causes:
Corneal Ulceration
Conjunctival irritation
Trichiasis
Eye hair pointing IN toward cornea
Corneal and Conjunctival Irritation
Chalazion
RUPTURE of the Meibomian Gland leads to Granulomatous Inflammation due to gland secretions
Chemosis
swelling of the conjunctiva
Dermoid
Presence of haired skin in the corneal epithelium
corneal response to injury: adaptive cutaneous metaplasia
response to persistent mild irritation;
keratinization, epithelial hyperplasia, neovascularization
corneal response to injury: epithelial/stromal necrosis
response to more severe injury - ulceration of epithelial layer;
caused by: mechanical injury, desiccation, chemicals, infection
CORNEAL EDEMA
keratomalacia
softening of the cornea – result of infected corneal ulcer
