Small Test 4 Flashcards
Eye anatomy - What influenses the aquous humor inlet?
Schelm channel - influence aqueous humor inlet
Witch disease gives Grey lense, and why?
From which disease is it formed from?
CATERACT - Grey lens due to glycated proteins in lense
Forms from untreated diabetes mellitus (to avoid, manage blood glucose level)
Which disease is this, with huge eye and dilated pupils ?
What is it caused by?
What can it lead to?
GLAUCOMA
Huge eye and dilated pupils
Caused by → Overproduction of aqueous humor → elevated intraocular pressure (glaucoma)
→ can lead to irreversible blindness
What is the cause of the grean colout?
Which disease is diagnosed?
Cause of the disease?
CORNEAL ULCERS
Fluorescein dye binds to damaged surface of the cornea, (apple green discoloration) and is visualized under UV light
An ulcer caused by trauma, scratching (due to pruritus)
Name of disease?
Type of disease?
Panus (superficial keratitis) → autoimmune inflammation of cornea
Small vessels on eye surface
General rules of Eye treatment
Types?
Importaint to remember with ointments?
When and how to use implants?
-
Locally
- Eye drops (need repeat 4-8 times a day) and
- Ointments (2-3 times a day is enough) or
- Systemic
Ointments can provide blurred vision → patient can scratch their eyes (use the collar to avoid scratching)
- Injections and implants (placed surgically subconjunctivally in case of equine recurrent uveitis
Infectious eye diseases
- Feline renal tracheitis
- Mycotic conjunctivitis (in stable horses)
- Distemper
Treatment of infectious eye diseases
- Against pathogens
- antibiotics,
- antivirals,
- antimycotics,
- antiparasitics
- AB-type, administration route based on the bacteria & the infected area
- Sufficient in acute cases
(1 week of AB in case of bacterial eye infections)
- At least 2 week in antiviral
-
Anti-inflammatory drugs are given in case of
-
Chronic bacterial conjunctivitis: GCC
- to reduce inflammation and pruritus
- Viral infections: NO GCC! Because GC is immunosuppressant
-
Chronic bacterial conjunctivitis: GCC
When are Anti-inflammatory drugs are given?
-
Chronic bacterial conjunctivitis:
- GCC to reduce inflammation and pruritus
-
Viral infections:
- NO GCC!
- Because GC is immunosuppressant
Thelana worms
- Treated with ivermectin
Allergic conjunctivitis
Allergic conjunctivitis
-
Mast cell stabilizers (avoid histamine release)
- Sodium chromoglycate,
- Lodoxamide
- Nedocromil
-
Vasoconstriction
- Tetryzoline HCl is only useful in case of small bleeding in the conjunctiva
(no effect on allergy, causes dry eye, can make it worse, just makes the eye look better)
-
Antihistamines (with mast cell stabilization)
- Azelastine,
- Olopatadine,
- Epinastine,
- Emedastine,
- Antazoline
Corneal ulcer (ulcus corneae)
- Diagnostic tool: Fluorescein stain
-
AB, 3x in case of superficial ulcer
- → 6x per day in case of deep
-
AB, 3x in case of superficial ulcer
- Use AB for bacterial colonization and avoid the release of proteases
- Give protease inhibitors
- In case of superficial NSAID (prohibited in severe cases)
- In case of painful cyclospasm → avoid the use of atropine (caused cycloplegia, analgesic effect)
- GCC prohibited!
- Risk of perforation: ointment Ø!
- (ointments can be annoying for a patient)
Uveitis (inflammation of the eye)
-
Cause various and autoimmune
- → Treat with AB, immunosuppression
-
Mydriatic (dilated pupil): atropine
- Topically, analgesic effect (cycloplegia)
- Can inhibit of synechia formation
- Quick degradation of atropine in the inflamed eye → need to give 3-6x per day
- Not recommended for fundus examination
-
Anti-inflammatory drugs
- Place
- Prednisolone (integrity of the cornea!)
- anterior-: topical, panuveitis: systemic / subconjunctival
-
Equine Recurrent Uveitis
- → immunosuppression (cyclosporin implant)
- Keep animals in a dark room
Dry eye syndrome (keratoconjunctivitis sicca, KCS)
- Lack of tear production
- Schirmer’s test
Cause? (in the proper admin of potentiation SA, viral infection)
- Immunosuppression is given in case of autoimmune background
- Cyclosporin,
- Tacrolimus,
- Pimecrolimus
- Topically
- The onset of action within weeks
- Increased tear production
- Artificial tear can be given 8-12x a day
- AB, topically because of lack of tear function making them more prone to bacterial infection
Pannus
- Immune-mediated: treatment for a lifetime!
Anti-inflammatory drugs (prednisolone, dexamethasone)
Immunosuppression (cyclosporin)
Topically
- If needed: AB/antivirals, antimycotics; artificial tear
Glaucoma
Glaucoma (elevated intraocular pressure)
- ATROPINE CONTRAINDICATED!
- Causes
- pupil dilation,
- constriction of ciliary channel, and
- closed shlem channel and
- no aqueous humor production
- Mannitol is severe cases
Local anaesthetics of eye surface
Local anaesthetics of eye surface
The aim? – foreign body, small surgical procedure
Procaine (not used) , Oxibuprocaine or tetracaine used due to high lipophilic property
Fundus examination
- Done by Parasympatholytics (need dilated pupils)
- Atropine (days) < Tropicamide/Homatropine is better
