Part 1 Flashcards
Outer membrane of eye
Anterior most 1/5th cornea
White 4/5th sclera
Covered w bulbar cunjuctiva with sclera beneath
What is limbus
Junction of cornea and sclera
Pupil size? Function
2-4mm
Dilate- mydriasis
Contract- miosis
Miosis by?
Sphincter pupilae muscle constriction
Mydriasis by?
Dilator pupilae muscle
Sphincter pupilae muscle innervated by which nerve?
Oculomotor nerve CN3
Dilator pupilae innervated bywhich nerve?
Sympathetic nerves
Heterochromia iridum
Different colour of Iris in different eyes
One eye brown one eye blue
Heterochromia iridis
Different colour in same eye
Patient comes with partial ptosis, miosis, enophthalmos of one eye and anhydrosis on one side of face. There’s loss of cilliospinal reflex
What is Dx?
Horner’s syndrome
Horners syndrome
Piece MEAL
P- partial ptosis
M - miosis
E - enophthalmos
A - anhydrosis
L - loss of cilliospinal reflex
Occurs due to compression of cervical sympathetic chain.
Partial ptosis caused by Muller’s muscle palsy which is innervated by sympathetic nerve
Miosis caused due to palsy of dilator pupilae muscle nerve, also sympathetic.
Ptosis caused by which nerve palsy?
Lavator palpebra superioris
Which lung tumour leads to Horner syndrome?
Pancoast tumour
Superior sulcus tumour of the lung causing compression of the cervical sympathetic chain
Eye components
Outer fibrous layer- cornea and sclera
Middle layer is vascular - Iris, ciliary body and choroid
Inner layer is neural- retina
Thinnest, anterior most part of retina
Orra serrata
Ciliary body components
Pars plana
Pars plicata- responsible for aqueous humour production.
Volume of orbit
30ml
Volume of eyeball
7ml
Volume of posterior segment
4ml
Posterior segment is filled by vitreous humour
(Portion posterior to the lens)
Volume of anterior chamber and posterior chamber
0.25ml AC
0.06ml PC
Anterior segment is divided into anterior and posterior chambers.
Eye development starts by which week of gestation?
3rd week of intrauterine life
(21 days)
Neuroectoderm derivatives
VOIR
V- secondary virtuous
O- optic nerve
I - iris
R - retina
Neural crest sells derivatives
** C3OST**
C- cornea
C- ciliary ganglion
C- ciliary muscles
O- optic nerve sheath
S- sclera (partly made from mesoderm)
T- trebacular meshwork (drainage of AH)

Coloboma
Congenital anomaly caused by Inability of hyaloid fissure to close (closes by 7-8 wk of IUL)
Most common type- infronasal
(Pupil dripping down. See picture)
