21
Q

A triangular thickening of the bulbar conjunctiva that grows slowly across the outer surface of the cornea, usually from the nasal side.

A

Pterygium

22
Q

Opacity of the lenses visible through the pupil. Risk factors are old age, smoking, diabetes, corticosteriod use

A

Cataracts

23
Q

Produces spokelike shadow that point-gray against black, as seen with flashlight, or black against red with an ophthalmoscope.

A

Peripheral Cataract

24
Q

Increases the risk for acute narrow-angle glaucoma in iris

A

•Narrow angle

25
Q

The normal spatial relation between iris and cornea is preserved.

A

Open-angle glaucoma

26
Q

Considered benign if it is equal in dim and bright light, and there is brisk pupillary constriction to light.

A

Simple anisocoria

27
Q

When anisocoria is greater in bright light than in dim light. The larger pupil cannot constrict properly.
It causes

A
  • trauma to the eye.
  • open-angle glaucoma.
  • impaired parasympathetic innervation to the iris
  • tonic pupil and oculomotor nerve (CN III) paralysis.
28
Q

•When anisocoria is greater in dim light, the smaller pupil cannot dilate properly is seen in which caused by an interruption of the sympathetic innervation

A

Horner syndrome

29
Q
  • Direct reaction -

* Consensual reaction -

A
  • Direct reaction - pupillary constriction in the same eye

* Consensual reaction - pupillary constriction in the opposite eye

30
Q

Pupil is dilated, regular, and usually unilateral. Reaction to light is severely reduced and slowed or even absent. Constriction during the near vision is present, although very slow.

A

Tonic PUpil (Adie Pupil)

31
Q

The pupil is large and fixed to light and near effort. Ptosis of the upper eyelid and lateral deviation of th eye downward and outward are almost always present.

A

Oculomotor Nerve (CN III) Paralysis

32
Q

The affected pupil is small, unilateral, reacts briskly to light and near effort, but dilates slowly, especially in dim light. Anisocoria is >1mm, with ipsilateral ptosis of the eyelid and often loss of sweating on the forehead. (miosis, ptosis and anhydrosis)

A

Horner Syndrome

33
Q

The pupils are small, irregular and usually bilateral. They constrict with near vision and dilate with far vision but do not react to light, seen in neurosyphilis and rarely in diabetes.

A

Small, Irregular Pupils (Argyll Robertson Pupils)

34
Q

Unilateral blindness does not cause anisocoria as long as the sympathetic and parasympathetic innervation to both irises is normal. A light directed into the seeing eye produces a direct reaction in that eyeand a consensual reaction in the blind eye.

A

Equal Pupils and One Blind Eye

35
Q

The normal conjugate movements of the eyes in each direction.

A

Extra Ocular Muscles

36
Q

•A fine rhythmic oscillation of the eyes. A few beats of nystagmus on extreme lateral gaze are normal. If you see this, bring your finger in to within the field of binocular vision and look again.

A

Nystagmus

37
Q

• Proptosis
• Characteristic “stare” on frontal gaze.
- Poor convergence

A

Hyperthyroidism

38
Q

Consider an orbital tumor or retrobulbar hemorrhage from trauma.

A

Unilateral Proptosis

39
Q

Consider an orbital tumor or retrobulbar hemorrhage from trauma.

A

Unilateral Proptosis

40
Q

Contraindications for mydriatic drops

A
  • Head injury and coma

• Any suspicion of narrow-angle glaucoma.

41
Q

Swelling of the optic disc and anterior bulging of the physiologic cup suggest ___ which is associated with increased intracranial pressure

A

Papilledema

42
Q

Absence of a red reflex of the fundus suggests:

Less common ones

A
  • opacity of the lens (cataract)
    • Opacity of the vitreous
    • Artificial eye

Less commonly
• Detached retina
• Retinoblastoma in children

43
Q

They focus anterior to the retina and the retinal structures look larger than normal.

A

myopia

44
Q

They focus posterior to the retina.

A

hyperopia

45
Q

An enlarged cup suggests

A

Chronic open-angle glaucoma

46
Q

Occurs with high intracranial pressures above 190 mm H2O. Other causes include glaucoma and retinal vein occlusion

A

Loss of Spontaneous Venous Pulsation(SVPs)

47
Q

Is an important cause of poor central vision in older adults.

A

Macular degeneration

48
Q

Types of Macular degeneration

A

Dry atrophic - more common but less severe

Wet exudative, or neovascular.

49
Q

Elevated intracranial pressure causes intraaxonal edeman along the optic nerve, leading to engorgement and swelling of the optic disc; it has a color pink, hyperemic appearance; often with loss of venous pulsations; dics swollen with margins blurred, the physiologic cup is not visible; and seen in intracranial mass, lesion, or hemorrhage, meningitis

A

Papilledema

50
Q
  • Tiny disc vessels give normal color to the disc
  • color yellowish orange to creamy pink
  • disc margins sharp
  • physiologic cup located centrally or temporally, maybe conpiscious or absent
A

Normal Optic Disc

51
Q
  • Increased intraocular pressure within the eye leads to increased cupping (backward depression of the disc) and atrophy
  • the base of the enlarged cup is pale
  • death of optic nerve fibers leads to loss of the tiny disc vessels
A

Glaucomatous Cupping
