21
Q

gold standard Ix for orbital cellulitis

A

CT sinus and orbits

22
Q

post cataract surgery, progressive blurring of vision
what is it and Mx?

A

posterior capsule opacification
YAG laser capsulotomy

23
Q

Px of anterior uveitis and Mx

A

redness, pain, photophobia
Assoc with HLA B27 (ankylosing spondylitis, IBD)
Mx: dexamethason drops

24
Q

any eye problem with neovascularization do….

A

pan-retinal photocoagulation

25
Q

any eye problem with macular edema do….

A

anti-VEGF intravitreal

25
Q

what is occlusion therapy in strabismus

A

covering the normal eye with a patch. forces the kid to use the abnormal eye and strengthens the msucles

26
Q

ABs for orbital cellulitis

A

adults: pip taz
children: cefotaxime + metronidazole

27
Q

Holmes Adie pupil px and ix

A

unilateral dilated pupil, reduced constriction upon light
positive pilocarpine test

28
Q

corneal ulcer vs corneal abrasion

A

corneal abrasion does not cause vision loss

28
Q

macular star

A

exudates lining up like a star
retinal blood vessels leaking fluid -> macular star
seen in hypertensive retinopathy

29
Q

what is the surgery used to remove cataracts

A

phacoemulsification

30
Q

normal intraocular pressure

A

12-22mmHg

31
Q

1st and 2nd line treatment for conjunctivitis

A

topical chloramphenicol drops
topical fusidic acid drops

32
Q

what treatment for conjunctivitis is contraindicated in pregnancy, what is used instead

A

topical chloramphenicol contraindicated
topical fusidic acid used instead

33
Q

difference between bacterial, viral and allergic conjunctivitis

A

bacterial: discharge on waking up, grittiness, redness

viral: associated with URTI, bilateral, itchiness, pre auricular lymph nodes

allergic: redness, itchiness, check history!

34
Q

how to confirm anterior uveitis

A

slit lamp

35
Q

2 meds for anterior uveitis and MOA

A

topical corticosteroids (reduce inflammation)

cycloplegic myadriatic ( cyclopentane 1% )
to paralyse the ciliary muscles and relieve the pain caused by contraction of these muscles
prevent adhesions between the iris and the anterior lens capsule

36
Q

management schedule for different stages of diabetic retinopathy

A

R0 (no retinopathy) → annual check up

R1 (background retinopathy) → annual check up

R2 (pre proliferative) → non-urgent opthalm (see in 13 weeks, monitor every 4-6 months)

R3 (proliferative) → urgent opthalm

M1 (maculopathy) → urgent opthalm

37
Q

symptoms of proliferative retinipathy

A

blurred vision
floaters

38
Q

what is diabetic maculopathy

A

when any features of diabetic retinopathy exist at the macula
e.g. ring of exudates and a dot haemorrhage at the fovea (macular centre)

39
Q

what anatomical region creates the blind spot

A

optic disc

40
Q

retinal detachment:
if the symptoms are from an inferotemporal side, the detachment will be from the….

A

superonasal side

41
Q

phenylephrine causes resolution of symptoms, what was the condition

A

episcleritis
If the inflammation is localized to the episcleral tissue, then the vessels will blanch with the phenylephrine, and the eye will be relatively white and asymptomatic

42
Q

posterior vitreous detachment

A

precursor to retinal detachment
associated with myopia
px flashes and floaters
no horseshoe tear seen on dilated fundoscopy

43
Q

how to differentiate between HSV ulcer and non HSV ulcer

A

HSV ulcer = dendritic ulcer. stain very brightly with floeurescein + has a terminal bump (even brighter)

non HSV ulcer e.g. acanthomeba or VZV = pseudodendritic ulcer. no terminal bulbs

44
Q

complication of pan retinal photocoagulation

A

decreased night vision

45
Q

what Ix is used to confirm wet ARMD

A

flourescein angiography

46
Q

Mx of HSV keratitis

A

Topical aciclovir drops
