Q

adies pupil super sensitive to what drugs

A

muscarinic agonists like pilocarpine

21
Q

give alpha adrenergic agonist to normal eye

A

dilation! via dilator radial muscle and alpha 1 R

22
Q

five muscarinic agonist to normal eye

A

constriction! via circular sphincter m, M3 M2 R

23
Q

if give hydroxyamphetamine to someone with horners and eye dilates what does this mean

A

preganglionic horners because the pupil is still responsive to local release of NE
would be postganglionic if no dilation occured

24
Q

pilocarpine to adies pupil would cause

A

constriction

25
Q

if give opioid to nomral eye

A

pinpoint pupil

Mu R

26
Q

What type glaucoma causes progressive loss of retinal ganglion cell axons

A

open angle

cause visua lfield loss

27
Q

second leading cause of blindness in US in african americans, 3rd in caucasians and leading in hispanics

A

glaucoma

28
Q

ocular hypertensives

A

can tolerate intraocular P >21mmHg

29
Q

normal or low tension glaucoma

A

normal IOP but still have nerve damage

30
Q

roles of ciliary body

A

secretion of aqeuous humor by epithelial bilayer

accommodation by ciliary muscle

31
Q

accommodation of eye can be blocked how

A

muscarininc cholinergic antagonists

cycloplegia

32
Q

what secretes aqueous humor

A

ciliary epithelial processes

33
Q

how does aqueous humor flow

A

post chamber through pupil into ant chamber

34
Q

how do we reduce aqueous humor

A

beta blockers and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors

35
Q

how does aqueous humor leave eye

A

trabecular meshwork and canal of schlemm

36
Q

main target of cholinergic agonists in glaucoma therapy

A

canal of schlemm and trabelcular meshwork

37
Q

second pathway where aqueous humor flows out

A

uveosclera

through ciliary muscles into supreachoroidal space

38
Q

uveosclera route of aqueous flow is targeted how with drugs

A

protanoids like latanoprost

39
Q

area that determines the 2 forms of glaucoma

A

peripheral anterior chamber

40
Q

EM Tx for angle closure glaucoma

A

removal of part of iris

41
Q

drugs contraindicationed in closed angle glaucoma

A

antimuscarinics, antihistamines with antimuscarinic activity

alpha 1 agonists

42
Q

agents that reduce aqueous humor secretion

A

beta blockers
carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
alpha adrenergics (a2)

43
Q

agents that increase aqueous humor outflow

A

prostaglandin F2a analogs
alpha adrenergics
parasympathomimetics: muscarinic agonist and ACHEI

44
Q

what drug can be taken orally for open angle glaucoma

A

acetazolamide, dichlorphenamide and methazolamide

all CA Inhibitors

45
Q

preferred medication for glaucoma

A

PG F2a

latanoprost

46
Q

MOA PG F2a

A

increase outflow via uveoscleral pathway

47
Q

what beta blockers are used in galucoma

A

timolol, levobunolol, metipranolol and carteolol

48
Q

MOA beta blockers in glaucoma

A

target ciliary epithelium and blood vessels

dec aqeusou humor production reduce IOP

49
Q

adverse effects b blockers in glaucoma

A

heart and airway susceptible individuals

may interact with verapamil and increase risk heart block
