people with an allergy to it

people with blood dycrasias

18
Q

which two drugs require refrigeration

A

proxymetacaine and oxybuporcaine require refrigerated storage between 2 and 8 degrees

others are stored at room tempreture

19
Q

what type of drug is phenelpherine

A

= a adrenergic agonist (sympathomememtic)

20
Q

what is phenny used for

A

used for mydriasis and dosnt result in cycloplegia - dosnt effect accomodation ,

21
Q

contraindications for phenelephrine include

A

contraindications include those with heart conditions e.g. arythmias , Brady and tacky cardias and systemic high blood pressure as they take beta blockers and phenylephrine competes with that - phenylephrine is a vasoconstrictor

22
Q

what is sodium cromoglygate

A

mast cell stabiliser

used for dry eye

23
Q

what are the signs of dry eye

A

gritty , watery eyes

24
Q

what is a general rule for discerning weather it is evaporative dry eye or aqueous dry eye

A

worse in the morning= evaporative

worse in the evening = aqueous

evaporative is associated with meibomian glandf dysfunction , lid massage and hygiene should eliminate blepharitis and hot compress

25
Q

what is aqueous associated with

A

shorten syndrome , dosnt produce lacrimal secretions

26
Q

what are the types of tear film preparations

A

more severe dry eye

more viscous - however reduces va

27
Q

what is an alternative for eye drops that can be used

Q

what are the three types of presentation of red eye

A

allergic, viral, bacterial

29
Q

if a patient has iritis what do you do

A

refer to opthalmologists to prescribe steroids - they also need cyclopentelate

30
Q

what is the management for scleritis

A

associated with rheumatoid arthritis - differentiate from episcelritis

31
Q

what conditions need an urgent referral

A

close angle glaucoma

enopthalmitis - need immediate referral
