ophthlamology presentations Flashcards
sudden onset severely painful red eye (unilateral)
reduced visual acuity - like looking through a frosted glass/blurred vision
haloes
worse in dark room
headache
nausea
vomiting
acute open angle glaucoma
corneal abrasion
intense pain lacrimation photophobia sensation of foreign body hx trauma
posterior blepharitis
itchy sore gritty eye
burning sensation
red eye
redness in deep surface of eye
usually asymptomatic finding at optician increased IOP visual field defects optic disc cupping loss of peripheral vision
primary open angle glaucoma
sticky eyes within 10 days of life
chlamydia / gonorrohoea
sudden painless loss of vision of variable degrees unilateral
metamorphosia
severe retinal haemorrhages - stormy sunset
CRVO
visual field defect:
incongruent homonymous hemianopia
optic tract
itchy sore gritty eye
burning sensation
red eye
redness in deep surface of eye
posterior blepharitis
distinguishing features of allergic conjunctivitis
itch is the predominant feature
associated with atopy
redness and swelling
swollen papillae with cobblestone appearance of conjunctiva
sticky eyes from 2 months of life
naso-lacrimal duct blockage
dry ARMD
bilateral loss of central vision
painless
reduced visual acuity for near objects
worse at night
CRAO
sudden painless unilateral profound vision loss RAPD cherry red spot on macula pale oedematous retina with thread like vessels
eyes look up and out
CN4 palsy - congenital
anterior uveitis
acute onset red eye severe pain, increases with use photophobia lacrimation reduced/blurred vision dull ache worse on reading irregular shaped pupil ciliary flush
retinal detachment
myopes sudden painless vision loss flashes/floaters curtain or shadow progressing to the centre of the visual field from the periphery (>5 mins) RAPD - if optic nerve involved loss of red reflex
conjunctivitis
peripheral red eye grittiness discharge sensation of foreign body no vision change \+/- itch
increased IOP
visual field defects
optic disc cupping
glaucoma
CN 4 palsy
eyes look up and out
reduced visual acuity for near objects
worse at night
ARMD
acute onset red eye severe pain, increases with use photophobia lacrimation reduced/blurred vision dull ache worse on reading irregular shaped pupil ciliary flush
anterior uveitis
what is the visual field defect in optic radiation pathology
incongruent quadrantanopia
visual field defect
incongruent quadrantanopia

endophthalmitis
intensely painful red eye
loss of vision
post-ocular surgery or trauma
painless
bright red eye
no other ocular symptoms
subconjunctival haemorrhage
what should always be considered in the presentation of a red gritty eye
foreign body
pain and swelling over inferior/medial aspect of eye with tearing crusting and fever and systemic upset
dacryocystitis
intensely painful red eye
loss of vision
post-ocular surgery or trauma
endopthalmitis
what is the visual field defect in optic nerve pathology
loss of whole visual field
CRVO
sudden painless loss of vision of variable degrees unilateral
metamorphosia
severe retinal haemorrhages - stormy sunset
fundoscopy:
severe retinal haemorrhages - stormy sunset
CRVO
gradual vision loss blurring of vision haloes at bright lights difficulty reading reduced red reflex loss of colour contrast
cataracts
acute angle closure glaucoma - o/e
hazy cornea
tense hard red eye
fixed mid dilated pupil
CN3 palsy
eyes down and out
with ptosis
+/- blown out pupil
visual field defect:
bitemporal hemianopia
optic chiasm
drusen
