PD eyes Flashcards
an enlarged blind spot occurs in condition that effect the optic nerve such as…
glaucoma, papilledema, optic neuritis
(sensory) relays information from the eye to the brain, senses light and vision. It is the afferent (toward the brain – sensory) nerve of pupillary action
CN II also called the optic nerve
Oculomotor (motor): innervates the most of the eye muscles as well as being the efferent limb of pupillary action. Raises the eyelid
CN III
Trochlear (motor): innervates the superior oblique muscle which is responsible for downward, inward movement of the eye
CN IV
Abducens (motor): innervates the lateral rectus, which moves the eye laterally
CN VI
seeing 2 different images on the same object
double vision or diplopia
monocular diplopia–cover 1 eye and still see double, this is not a what problem
neurological, it is usually a refractive problem or caused by an astigmatism
binocular diplopia, both eyes do not move in synchrony, lesions of what could cause this
CN 3 4 or 6 or graves disease
drooping of the upper eye lid
ptosis
myasthenia gravis, damage to the oculomotor nerve, sympathetic nerve supply, or could be congenital are signs of what?
ptosis
inward turning of lid, more common in elderly, lashes irritate cornea is what?
entropion
outward turning of lid exposing palpebral conjunctiva, could effect eye drainage
ectropion
can see rim of sclera between upper lid and iris, wide eyed stare suggest this disorder, also associated with hyperthyroidism
lid retraction
eye protrudes forward, bilateral suggests graves
exophthalmos
benign yellowish triangular nodule bulbar conjunctiva, seen in again, seen on nasal side first, DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH VISION
pinguecula
triangular thickening bulbar conjunctiva grows slowly across outer surface of cornea, nasal side, reddening may occur, DOES INTERFERE WITH VISION
PTERYGIUM
blood in the anterior chamber or pus
hyphema or hypopyon
inflammation of the episcleral vessles that appear salmon pink, localized ocular redness
episcleritis
slightly raised yellowish well circumscribed plaques, appear along nasal portion of one or both eyes, can accompany lipid disorder
xanthelasma
painful, tender red infection in a gland at the margin of the eyelid
stye or hordeolum
subacute nontender painless nodule involving meibomian gland, may become inflammed, usually points inside a lid rather than on a margin
chalazion
swelling between lower eyelid and nose, acute inflammation is painful, red and tender, chronic is associated with obstruction of nasolacrimal duct, can regurgitate material through puncta of eyelids
dacrocystitis or stenosis
diffuse dilation of conjunctival vessels with redness that tends to be maximal peripherally, vision not effected, can have a discharge, bacterial viral parastic or allergies
conjunctivitis
leakage of blood outside of the vessels, produces sharp demarcated area, red area fades to yellow then disappears, not painful, not effect on vision or pupil, caused by trauma cough sneeze or bleeding disorder
subconjunctival hemorrhage
thin grayish white arc or circle not quite at the end of the cornea
cornea arcus or arcus senilis
