17
Q

Which nerve axons make up the optic nerve?

A

Retinal ganglion cell axons

18
Q

What types of fibres are found within the oculomotor nerve?

A

Motor fibres to MR, SR, IR, IO + LPS
Parasympathetic fibres
The oculomotor nerve has 2 rami

19
Q

What are the branches of the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve? Which branch is biggest?

A

Nasociliary
Lacrimal
Frontal – this is the largest

20
Q

What structure do the cranial nerves pass through before reaching the superior orbital fissure?

A

Walls of Cavernous sinus

21
Q

Which of the nerves passing through the cavernous sinus, passes through the middle of it rather than passing through the walls? What else passes through here?

A

Abducens (CN 6)

Internal carotid artery also passes through

22
Q

What are the branches of the branches of the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve?

A

Lacrimal (no branches)
Nasociliary: Branch to ciliary ganglion, Ethmoidal, Infra-trochlear
Frontal: Supratrochlear + Supraorbital

23
Q

What limb of the autonomic nervous system is the ciliary ganglion involved in?

A

PARASYMPATHETIC

24
Q

Which fibres enter the ciliary ganglion and which fibres leave the ciliary ganglion?

A

Entering: preganglionic fibres in inferior ramus of the oculomotor nerve
Leaving: postganglionic fibres in short ciliary nerves

25
Q

What do the fibres leaving the ciliary ganglion innervate?

A

Sphincter pupillae

Ciliary muscle

26
Q

What are the 6 branches of the ophthalmic artery?

A 
Supratrochlear 
Supraorbital 
Lacrimal 
Ciliary 
Muscular branches
Central artery of the retina
27
Q

Name the 2 ophthalmic veins and state where they drain.

A

Superior ophthalmic vein: cavernous sinus (potential route of intracranial infection)
Inferior ophthalmic vein: pterygoid plexus

28
Q

Describe the location of the lacrimal glands.

A

Anterolateral superior orbit

29
Q

Describe the innervation of the lacrimal glands.

A

PNS secretomotor fibres of Facial Nerve (CN 7) from the pterygopalatine ganglion via the zygomaticotemporal + lacrimal nerves

30
Q

Where do the tears initially drain?

A

Lacrimal Sac

31
Q

Via which duct do the tears drain from the Lacrimal sac and where does this duct empty?

A

Nasolacrimal duct – empties into the inferior nasal meatus

32
Q

What is the corneal reflex?

A

Stimulation of the cornea causes involuntary blinking in both eyes

33
Q

What is Horner’s syndrome and how does it manifest itself in patients?

A

Disorder of sympathetic nerves in the brainstem or cervical region
Presents as:
Ptosis
Miosis
Anhydrosis (lack of sweating around the eye)

34
Q

What is the technical term for abnormal alignment of the eyes (having a squint)?

A

Strabismus

35
Q

What are the different types of strabismus?

A

Hypotropia – one eye turns down
Hypertropia – one eye turns up
Exotropia – one eye turns out
Esotropia – one eye turns in

36
Q

What may infection or thrombosis in cavernous sinus cause?

A

Direct effects on the cranial nerves passing through
