Ophtho Flashcards
4 components of 3rd eyelid
- cartilage
- lacrimal glands
- lymphoid nodule
- conjunctiva
Muscle closing eyelid
- CN innervation
- obicularis m.
- CN 7
M. opening eyelid
- CN innervation
- levator palpebral superioris
- CN 2
3 layers of tear film, their composition, made by what?
- meibum: lipid from meibomia gland
- aqueous: water from lacrimal gland
- mucin: glycoprptein from conjunctival
3 layers of cornea
- epi
- stroma
- endothelium –> incl descemet
Corneal epi
- histo epi type
- water affinity
- function
- non-keratinized strat epi
- lpophilic
- mech barrier
Corneal stromal
- histo
- water affinity
- innervated by
- collagen fiber
- hydrophilic
- CN5
3 parts parts of uvea
- function
- iris: controls pupil opening
- ciliary: aqueous humour prod
- choroid: supplies nutrients to retina
3 chambers
- anterior
- prosterior
- vitreal
Eye dev sequence roughly
Optic vesicle grows out –> optic cup –> hyaloid vascular system –> lens placode invagination –> optic fissure closes –> formation of vitreal and anterior chambers
What is persistent pupillary membrane formed from
- reminent of part of iris and hyaloid vascular system that was suppose to degrate in embryogenesis
How does cataracts form from embryogenesis
- as lens placode invaginates, forms nucleus of lense –> if issue, get cataracts
Microphthalmia
- what
- cause
- tx
- small ocular globe
- congenital
- if severe enucleate
Congenital strabismus cause
Muscle or innervation issue
Congenital exophthalmos
- breed
- cause
- sequalae
- tx
- brachys
- shallow orbit
- can’t blink well
- canthoplasty (ie lengthening of the palpebral fissure of the eyelids by cutting through the external canthus.)
Extraocular (eosinophilic) myositis
- sign
- dx
- tx
- bilat exophthalmos, painful mastication if eosinophilic, m. atrophy
- m. biopsy
- corticosteroid
Neoplasia in orbit
- sign
- malignancy
- dx
- tx
- progressive exophthalmia, no pain opening mouth
- often malignant
- CT, MRI
- sx, +/- radiation
Enophthalmia
- what
- 4 main types of cause
- eye abn sunken into orbit
1) loss of orbital tissue: dehydration, cachexia, m loss, etc.
2) trauma: fracture
3) Horners
4) ocular pain: e.g. corneal ulcer, uveitis
3 eye removing sx and what happens in them
1) enucleation: remove eye globe
2) exenteration: remove globe and orbital content
3) evisceration: remove globe contents but leave sclera
2 approaches to enucleation
1) tran-conjunctival: lateral canthotomy –> dissect away conjunctiva –> cut from m. and optic n. –> take globe out –> remove 3rd eyelid –> close
2) trans-palpebral: suture eyelids closed –> dissect away globe –> cut m. and nerve –> close
Evisceration step
- incise conjunctiva and sclera –> remove intraocular content –> replace with silicone prosthesis –> close
When do you do orbitotomy
- to explore orbit
- referral proceedure
Define:
- distichiasis
- ectopic cilia
- triachiasis
- hair growing from meibomian gland touching cornea
- hair growing from meibomian gland exits at palpebral conjunctiva and rubs against cornea
- hair growing form normal position touching cornea
Entropion
- what
- sequelae
- tx
- eyelids roll in
- hair rubs against cornea
- tacking suture if temp, surgery
Ectropion
- what
- sequelae
- tx
- eyelids rolling outwards
- conjunctivitis
- sx
Blepharitis
- what
- causes
- inflammation of eyelids
- chalazion, hordoleum, cellulitis, allergy, parasites, immune-med
What is cherry eye? What does it look like? tx?
- prolapsed glands of 3rd eyelid
- pink ovoid mass in corner of eye
- sx
Everted cartilage of 3rd eye lid
- cause
- tx
- genetic
- remove bent stem
Follicular conjuntivitis of 3rd eyelid
- signs
- tx
- lympoid hyperplasia, conjuncitivitis, mucupurulent d/c
- debride follicles, abx and steroid drops
Keratoconjunctivitis sicca
- what
- pathophys
- cause
- dx
- tx
- dessication of cornea
- lack of nutrients and moistured from lack of good tear film –> vessels gorw in –> melanocytes
- immune-mediated, genetic, neurogenic, infectious, drug (e.g. opiod, TMS), gen anaesth
- Schirmer tear test
- tear stimulant (cyclosporin, tacrolimus, pilocarpine), tear supp, parotid duct transposition
Normal value for Schirmer tear test
15-25mm/min
Epiphora
- what
- cause
- excessive tearing
- irritation, improper drainage from NL-duct system
2 ways NL system fails to cause epiphora
- cause
- dx
- tx
1) imperforated puncta
- congenital
- sx
2) obstruction of duct
- infection, chronic swelling of medial lower canthus
- CT skull
- sx
Definition of chemosis
Pouching out of conjuncita from edema
Conjunctivitis
- signs
- causes
- dx
- tx
- dilated blood vessels in conj., chemosis, ocular d/c
- KCS, corneal ulcer, infection, intraocular dz
- culture, biopsy –> often not done though?
- broad spec abx
Conjunctival haemorrhage
- what
- cause
- tx
- blood btw conj and sclera
- trauma, coagulopathy, high BP
- tx underlying cause, support, resolves by self
Conjunctival dermoid
- what
- cause

- biopsy
- tetracycline/niacinamide
Corneal ulcer (aka ulcerative keratitis)
- what happens
- cause
- signs
- no epi, stromal loss
- trauma, infection, KCS
- painful
3 types of corneal ulcers and what makes them that type
1) Simple
- superficial, only epi
- no infection, vascularization, or pigmentation
2) Complex
- depth beyond epi, infected, corneal edema, vascularization if chronic, +/- melting
3) Recurrent
- chronic, superficial (only epi), not infected, loose epi edges
- stromal hylaine membrane forms –> epi can’t anchor to heal
How does corneal epi heal?
What about cornea?
What if hit endothelium
- Epi detach from anchor –> migrate and thing out over lesion –> proliferate
- keratocyte proliferate –> become fibroblasts –> form collage bundles; can scar is collagen not organized
- endothelial cells spread and enlarge
- -> corneal edema if defect too large
Tx for the 3 diff types of ulcers
- in gen: recheck in 24-48h to ensure protocol working
- Topical steroids and NSAIDS contra-indicated!!!**
1) Simple: fix initial cuase, abx (-cidal) QID, +/- atropine for pain, E-collar,
- recheck 3-5d
2) Complex:
- debride, flush, topical abx, serum if melting, atropine, systemic NSAID,
- recheck 24h
- sx: keratectomy, conj graft, enucleation
3) Recurrent:
- corneal debridement, grid kertotomy
- abx, atropine, +/- analgesia, +/- systemic NSAD, +/- contact lens
- recheck 7d
Pigmentary keratitis
- what
- cause
- dx
- tx
- melanocytes in epi
- chronic irritation, KCS, pug predisposed
- Shimir tear test, fluorescein stain
- remove insult, lub, steroids, cyclosporine
Chronic superficial keratitis
- breed
- sign
- cause
- dx
- tx
- GSD, Grey hounds- neovascularization, pigmentation - immune-mediated - cytology (see plasma cells) - steroid, cyclosporine, no cure
Ddx corneal dystrophy vs degeneration
- dystrophy: inherited, bilat, pri dz, issue in central cornea, no vasc or blindness
- degeneration: acquire, unilat, secondary dx, can occur anywhere on cornea, yes vasc, +.- ulcer
Endothelial dystrophy
- pathophys
- tx
- abn endothelial cells –> corneal edema –> form bubbles = epi bullae formation –> chornic ulcer
- hypertonic saline, thermkeratoplasty, conj graft, corneal transplant
What could a corneal mass be
- tx
- congenital
- hair
- pigment
- hemangioma
- keratectomy –> corneal ulcer –> heal
What makes aqueous humor? Where does it drain?
- ciliary body
- iridocorneal angle
