Q

(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

muscles that bend and straighten light

A

ciliary muscles

29
Q

impaired far vision

A

myopia

30
Q

progressively diminished ability to focus on near objects with age

A

presbyopia

31
Q

a difference in the size of the 2 pupils greater than 4mm, may be normal or sign of a ocular or neurological disease

A

anisocoria

32
Q

symmetrically rapid constriction in pulillary light response indicates that the anisocoria is not due to…

A

3rd nerve palsy

33
Q

unilateral, large and irregular, slowed or absent reaction to light, can cause blurred vision, pupil

A

adie’s tonic

34
Q

dilated pupil (6-7mm) is fixed to light near reaction, may be associated with ptosis and LATERAL eye deviaion

A

cn III palsy

35
Q

small irregular pupil, accomodates but does NOT react to light, seen in syphilis

A

argyll robertson pupil

36
Q

loss of sweating on forehead, small pupil (miosis) that reacts to light and acommodates to to dim light, ptosis present

A

horner’s

37
Q

relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) indicating a decreased pupillary response to light in the effected eye, most common cause is lesion of optic nerve or retinal disease

A

marcus gunn pupil

38
Q

caused by imbalance in ocular muscle tone, hereditary, causes gaze deviation classified according to direction

A

developmental disorders

39
Q

ESOTROPIA-eye deviates

EXOTROPIA-eye deviates

A

medially, laterally

40
Q

fine rhythmic oscillation of the eye

A

nystagmus

41
Q

venous stasis leads to engorgement and swelling of optic disc, disc swollen with margins blurred, cup NOT visible

A

papilledema

42
Q

backward depression of disc and atrophy, base of enlarged cup is pale

A

glaucomatous cupping

43
Q

death of optic nerve, disc vessel is absent

A

optic atrophy

44
Q

vein appears to stop abruptly on either side of the artery

A

av nicking

45
Q

white or greyish, ovoid lesions with irregular “soft boarders” usually smaller in size than disc, results from infarcted nerve fibers

A

46
Q

tiny round red sports near macular, minute dilitations of very small retinal vessels, seen in diabetes

A

47
Q

formation of new blood vessels, vessels can grow into vitreous and cause retinal detachment, more numerous and tortous than other vessels

papilledema

52
Q

would you see elevation of the optic disc in papilledema? y or n

A

yes

Q

what is the leading cause of blindness in the west?

A

age related macular degeneration

54
Q

A

glaucoma

56
Q

leading cause of blindness in african americans, 2nd leading cause of blindness overall, gradual vision loss with damage to the optic nerve

A

glaucoma

57
Q

a refractive defect of the eye, collimated light produces image focus in front of the retina when accomodation is relaxed

A

myopia or nearsightedness (can see far)

hyperopia or farsightedness

cannot see things close

the eye….does this when moving from up to down, seen in hyperthyroidism

A

lid lag

60
Q

convergence may be poor in what?

A

hyperthyroidism

61
Q

shadow on the iris indicates narrow angle due to bowing of iris, you are at an increased risk of what because of this?

A

acute narrowing glaucoma

Q

used to determine if ocular alignment is normal

corneal light reflection

63
Q

an opacity of the lens (cataract), opacity of the vitreous, detached retina or retinoblastoma in children are indicators of what?
