SP1 Ophthalmic Flashcards
accomodation
- focusing*
- increase in optical power of the eye
amblyopia
loss of visioning an eye without any detectable anatomic damage to the globe or visual pathways
astigmatism
corneal asphericity
focusing defect in which refractive power of eye is not uniform in all directions resulting in distorted vision
diplopia
double vision
extraocular (extrinsic) vs intraocular (intrinsic)
structures outside (extrinsic) or inside (intrinsic) the globe
photophobia
abnormal sensitivity to and discomfort from light
hyperopia
farsightedness
distant objects clear
close object not
myopia
nearsightedness
close objects clear
distant object not
7 bones that form the bony orbit of the eye
- zygomatic
- frontal
- maxillary
- sphenoid
- ethmoid
- lacrimal
- palatine
p. palpebrael; s. palpebral are?
eyelids, eyelid
levator palpebrae superioris muscle functions in?
opening of the eye
orbicularis oculi muscle functions in?
closing the eye
sty vs chalaziopn
sty: external hordeolum
chalazion:
- internal hordeolum
canthus
medial and lateral angles of each eye formed by junction of upper and lower lids
tarsal meibomian glands (3)
- secrete fluid preventing lids from adhering to each other
- located within tarsal plate
- obstruction of gland leads to “chalazion”
lacrimal glands vs lacrimal ducts
lac glands: produce tears
lac ducts: drain tears
conjunctiva: palpebral
thicker portion lining the inner surface of the eyelid
conjunctiva: bulbar
covers sclera, not cornea and is continuous with palpebral conjunctiva
extrinsic eye muscles are innervated by…
3rd (oculomotor)
4th (trochlear)
6th (abducens)
(LR6,SO4)3
superior rectus muscle rotates globe…
upwards towards midline of the body
inferior rectus muscle rotates globe
downward and toward the midline of the body
medial rectus muscle rotates globe
toward the midline of the body
lateral rectus muscle rotates globe
away from midline of the body
