Review Flashcards
conjunctival xerosis in VAD caused by ->
deficiency of mucin produced by goblet cells (degeneration of goblet cells)
Can cause hydration of the cornea
Hypotony -> reduced compressive force
Maps seen in epithelial basement membrane dystrophy show this staining
NEGATIVE staining
Dellen staining
positive or pooling of dye
Effect of tetracycline on anticoagulants
potentiate anticoagulant effect
Treatment options for ocular rosacea
Tetracycline (SE no anticoagulant)
Azithromycin (no cardio problems - may cause irregular heart rhythm)
Erythromycin - low adverse reactions
Diffuse punctate staining + whorled epithelium with normal schirmer/TBUT
Toxic keratitis -> switch to PF alternatives
Extra row of eyelashes from ducts of meibomian glands
Distichiasis (congenital AD or acquired)
Cornea >13mm diagnosis and associated problem during surgery
megalocornea -> zonular instability
Type of eye a/w increased risk for choroidal effusion during cataract surgery
nanophthalmia
Condition most commonly a/w posterior embryotoxon
Normal eyes
Corneal finding in children with untreated congenital syphilis
interstitial keratitis develops 6 to 12 yo with progressive corneal edema, ABNORMAL DEEP STROMAL VASCULARIZATION adjacent to descemet membrane
Medication that causes chalky white deposits that adhere to corneal epithelial defects
topical fluoroquinolone especially ciprofloxacin
Band keratopathy made of what substance?
Workup labs for unexplained band keratopathy should include
calcium hydroxyapatite
Calcium and phosphate tests -> elevated phosphate can drive precipitation of calcium hydroxyapatite (renal patient)
Vision loss in terrier marginal degeneration
high against-the-rule, oblique or irregular ASTIGMATISM
Monitor patient with cystinosis for –>
Tx for cystinosis –>
Nephropathy -may lead to kidney failure by 10 years of age
Topical cysteamine for cornea
Oral cysteamine for posterior segment (retinopathy, optic neuropathy)
History you must elicit for keratinized epithelium, cellular debris, corynebacterium xerosis
restrictive diet
alcoholism
chronic lipid malabsorption (bowel resection, cystic fibrosis)
Surrounded by capsid of primarily glycoproteins more resistant to alcohol
Adenoviruses -> diluted bleach
Varicella-zoster vaccine reduces the incidence of zoster by –>
50% in new cases of zoster and 66% postherpetic neuralgia
Immunity lasts only 5 years
follicular conjunctivitis with eyelid nodule with central umbilication would show this pathology
eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusions (Henderson-Patterson bodies) within epidermal cells surrounding a necrotic core
Pathology of herpetic vesicle
Vacuolized cytoplasm with multinucleate cells
Foamy histiocytes surrounding blood vessels
xanthelasma
treatment for gram-negative intracellular diplococci
intramuscular ceftriaxone 1 g for gonococcal conjunctivitis caused by neisseria gonorrhoeae
bandlike or stellate tarsal scarring superior + corneal scarring, trichiasis
Trachoma caused by bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis (Serotypes A-C)
