SR, MR, LR, IR
Whats the largest rectus muscle?
MR
Which rectus muscle has the longest and shortest tendon lengths?
Longest - LR
Shortest - MR
Where is the origin of the four extraocular rectus muscles
Annulus of Zinn. Tendinous ring (thickened periosteum) at the apex of the orbital cavity.
Blood Supply of
A) Superior rectus B) Inferior rectus C) Medial rectus D) Lateral rectus E) Superior oblique F) Inferior oblique
A - Superior muscular branch of ophthalmic art, 2 anterior ciliary art.
B- Inferior muscular branch of ophthalmic art, Infraorbital art, 2 ant. ciliary art
C - Inferior muscular branch of ophthalmic art, 2 ant. ciliary art
D - Lacrimal artery
E - Superior muscular branch of ophthalmic art
F -Inferior muscular branch of ophthalmic art, Infraorbital art

Explain Eye movements
- Primary
- Secondary
- Tertiary
- Looking straight ahead
- Eye is directed (U, D, L, R)
- Eye is directed in oblique positions
Retinoblastoma is caused by the loss of function of which gene and where?
Loss of function of the Rb tumour suppressor gene on C13q14
2 separate mutations - Sporadically (Cell body loses Rb gene + Another mutation of cell body) 90%
Genetically - 2 Cell bodies missing Rb gene + mutation happens.
Leukocoria, Macroscopically seen as a white mass, Metastatic dissemination of retinoblastoma is via the blood stream
Define Leukocoria?
Normal white pupillary reflex. (White pupil)
Retinoblastoma Cataracts Retinal detachment Retinopathy of prematurity Coats disease Retinal Astrocytic hamartoma Persistent fetal vasculature
What is the most common benign periorbital tumours of infants?
What visual issue can they cause?
Capillary Haemangioma
Possible ptosis, Reduced VA (due to amblyopia), Astigmatism
What syndrome is linked with Port wine stain affecting the face and eyes?
What visual issue can it cause?
Sturge weber ( Overabundance of capillaries near the surface of the skin. Blood vessels on the same side of the brain as the stain)
Choroidal haemangioma
Glaucoma
Seizures,
Describe ROP
Pathology, Treatment
Disorganised and excessive growth of retinal blood vessels in premature infants EXPOSED TO HIGH O2 concentrations.
When oxygen is removed - blood vessels start growing rapidly into the vitreous of the eye.
Tx: Laser photocoagulation from those presenting at Stage 3+ disease
3 - Extra retinal detachment
4 - Partial
5 - Total Retinal detachment
Who is at risk of ROP?
Premature babies <31W or Low birth weight <1.5kg
Define Coats disease?
Abnormal development of retinal blood vessels and retinal hard exudates.
Characteristic presentation - Xanthocoria (due to hard exudates)
Complications - RD (Hard exudates thicken the retina)
Tx: Manage hard retinal exudation, anti-VEGF through retinal laser, If RD consider scleral buckling
What signs do you get with optic nerve dysfunction?
Reduced colour vision, VA, RAPD
