mid dilated pupil and red eye
acute closed angle glaucoma

CT
painful eye movement
optic neuritis
HLA B27
Ank spond
rapd
light swung from unnafected eye to affected eye and pupil appears to dilate (due to lessened constriction)
lesions anterior to the optic chiasm (optic nerve- optic neuritis or retina- retinal detachment)
painless loss of vision flashes and floaters
retinal detachment
arcuate scotoma
glaucoma
side effects of gentamicin
ototoxicity (SN HL)
nephrotoxicity
differentiating scleritis from episcleritis
phenylephrine test (episcleritis blanches)
difference between central retinal vein occlusion and central retinal artery occlusion
both cause sudden painless loss of vision
vein occlusion more common (classically in glaucoma, hypertension, diabetes) fundoscopy shows severe retinal haemorrhages (blot and flame) and tortuous vessels
arterial occlusion seen with atherosclerosis or arteritis (GCA) RAPD can be present. Cherry red spot on pale macula
