Ophtho - Exam Flashcards
Normal intraocular pressure in the dog and cat?
10-20 mmHg
Most appropriate MDx…?
Episcleritis
What are we looking at?
canine glaucoma
and lens subluxation
A cat presents to you with apparent signs of a chronic URT infection and the eye looks like this. What is this called and what is the most likely diagnosis?
symblepharon;
pathopneumonic for FHV-1
Mrs. Johnson just adopted a third cat. The new 5 month old kitten is getting to know the other cats, but seems to still be adjusting (she’s stressed). The kitten was brought in and presented with this eye. What do we call this? What are you suspecting?
Chemosis (conjunctival edema);
Chlamydia
Identify the pathology.
Feline Corneal (stromal) Sequestrum
What are 4 brachycephalic risk factors for corneal ulcers?
- Ocular prominence
- Decreased corneal sensitivity (blink less, react less)
- Adnexal abnormalities
- Tear film abnormalities
What type of ulcer is this?
Simple, uncomplicated, superficial
What type of ulcer is this and how do you know?
Complicated, Superficial,
INDOLENT ulcer…
the fluorescein dye makes a unique halo
from staining beyond the epithelial margins
Visual impairment,
Lens-Induced Uveitis,
(secondary) Glaucoma,
and Retinal detachment
are all sequelae of ….?
Cataracts
What is the surgery indicated (only proven and effective therapy) for cataracts?
Phacoemulsification
(breaking up of lens cortex and nucleus with a tool that irrigates and aspirates,
then the lens is replaced)
How do we differentiate buphthalmos from exophthalmos?
IOP
greater in buphthalmos
Corneal Diameter
will be larger in buphthalmos
Check for Lens Luxation
can happen secondary to buphthalmos
(normal in exophthalmos)
What term indicates movement of the iris and is usually supportive of lens luxation?
iridodonesis
Term for inflammation of the cornea;
usu. evident by presence/corneal ulceration, corneal infiltrate, or blood vessels
Keratitis
Term for inflammation of the cornea
that is caused by lack of sensory innervation
(Ophthalmic br./ CN V)
neurotrophic keratitis
How is retropulsion a useful test?
Good for assessing symmetry and detecting dz of the orbit or space-occupying dz behind the globe
When you apply fluorescein day to ocular surface of a patient, and shortly thereafter it appears at the nares, this demonstrates nasolacrimal patency. What test is this?
Positive Jones test
When you apply fluorescein dye to the ocular surface of a patient, and subsequent aqueous humor is observed leaking thru dense fluorescein stain, this confirms corneal perforation. What test is this?
Positive Seidel test
What even is uveitis?
(beyond inflammation of the uvea…)
defined as a brkdwn of blood ocular barrier
Vision loss that occurs from optic nerve damage as a result of high intraocular pressure is also known as?
Glaucoma
What is blepharitis?
Inflammation of the eyelid
Term for abnormal enlargement and position of the eyeball, only caused by glaucoma…
Buphthalmos
