PPQ Flashcards
Aphacic crescent is visible
In case of lens subluxation
what is the function of tapetum
reflection of light into receptors
in case of synechia posterior
there’s an adhesion between iris and anterior lens capsule
to give subconjuctival injection in an alert horse
Topical anaesthesia should be used
what is a sub palpebral lavage kit used for?
to provide long term frequent topical treatment
most significant way of aqueous humor draining
Conventional in horses non-conventional (uveoscleral) way that’s why they are less prone to glaucoma
which statement is true regarding atropine
Effectivity gives information about the severity of uveitis (the longer the dilation of pupils happens the less
serious is the uveitis) (also fun fact browneyes more sensitive to atropine than blue eyes so they stay dilated
longer)
the indirect pupil light reflex is present in the right eye(OD), this means?
the retina is functional in OS
which treatment can be successful in long term management of equine recurrent uveitis in a sighted eye
Pars plana vitrectomy
Sub scleral cyclosporine-A implantation
Low dose gentamycin intravitreal injection
what king of mydriatics would you use to dilate the pupils at the opthalmic examination
0.5-4% tropicamide, wait for 20 minutes, lasts 4-6 hours
Atropine also
which is not an acute sign of uveitis
Mydriasis (see miosis)
what is distant opthalmoscopy
examination of the inner eye from an arms distance
the rose bengal die stains
Necrotic and degenerated conjuctival and corneal epithelium
which test is not for the evaluation of the vision
PLR is not!
menance reflex/dazzle reflex + cotton test + obstacle are
what is the feature of feline retina
Cat has a rounded optical nerve disc/head. The vessels from the periphery of the retina.
The retinal vessels are originating from the periphery of the optic nerve head
what is not requirement of the examination of the ocular fundus in small animals
Examiner in sitting position.
REQUIRED! Darkened examination room, slit lamp biomicroscope, tropicamide induced mydriasis.
which test can be used to evaluate the quality of PFT
the fluorescein staining test
Which answer is not true
Production of the aqueous is depends on the thermoconvection!
1) hydrostatic pressure; 2) the oncotic pressure gradient across the ciliary epithelium.
Which statement is true regarding atropine
effectivity gives information about the severity of uveitis
what kind of mydriatics would you use to dilate the pupil at the opthalmic exam
1% tropicamide
Which answer is correct? the shape of a mid wide pupil is
Horizontal eliptic in horses and cattle (herbivores)
which nerve block is used most commonly at ocular exam in horse
frontal nerve
which statement is false regarding the slit lamp biomicroscopy
width of the anterior chamber cannot be etimated
to give subconjuctival injection in an alert horse
topical anaesthesia should be given
