25
Q

inferior oblique muscle rotates globe

A

upward and away from inferior midline of the body

26
Q

intrinsic eye muscles: IRIS muscles

A
  • responsible for pupillary dilation & constriction

- regulate amount of light entering the globe

27
Q

intrinsic eye muscles: ciliary muscles

A

responsible for accommodation (focusing)

28
Q

functions of fibrous tunic: cornea/sclera

A
  1. admit and refract light (cornea)

2. provide shape/support/protection to internal structures (sclera)

29
Q

A&P of superficial fibrous tunic (3)

A
  • cornea: transparent
  • sclera: white of the eye
  • limbus: where cornea&sclera meet
30
Q

A&P of intermediate vascular tunic: UVEA (2)

A
  • nourishing pigmented intermediate layer

- choroid, ciliary body, and iris

31
Q

functions of intermediate vascular tunic (3)

A
  1. regulates of amount of light entering globe (iris)
  2. secrete aqueous humor/accommodation (ciliary body)
  3. retinal nourishment/absorption of light rays (choroid)
32
Q

nervous tunic

A

retina; deep innermost layer

33
Q

sensorineural layer

A

contains photoreceptors (light sensitive neurons) converting light rays into electrical impulses

34
Q

photoreceptor: RODS

A

afford black and white vision

35
Q

photoreceptor: CONES

A

afford color vision

36
Q

which nerve relays impulses for sight?

A

2nd cranial optic nerve

37
Q

optic disc

A

anatomic blind spot (optic nerve meets retina

38
Q

fovea centralis

A

area of highest visual acuity

39
Q

crystalline lens

A

brings light rays to a focal point on fovea centralis of the retina

40
Q

zonular fibers (suspensory ligaments)

A

holds crystalline lens in place

-transmit ciliary contraction to lens for (accommodation)

41
Q

the anterior and posterior chambers make up the..

A

anterior cavity of the eye

42
Q

what has the greatest refractive power of the 4 components of the refractive apparatus?

A

cornea

43
Q

diagnostic interventions: topical fluorescein staining

A

application of fluorescein sodium to corneal surface to detect damage

44
Q

diagnostic interventions: tonometry

A

measures intraoccqular pressure of the globe; useful in diagnosis glaucoma

45
Q

2 goals of opthalic anesthesia

A
  1. provide absence of sensation

2. provide akinesia (motionless field)

46
Q

anesthesia:
- Retrobulbar Block (intraconal)
- Peribulbar Block (extraconal)

A
  • Retrobulbar Block: area behind globe

- Peribulbar Block: are surrounding globe

47
Q

additives to injectable anesthetic agents:

A

epinephrine: NOT ENZYME assist with vasoconstriction
hyaluronidase: ENZYME added to enhance dispersion of anesthetic

48
Q

most common irrigation solution for ophthalmic surgery

A
  • BSS balanced salt solution

* may be used into & extraocularly

49
Q

miotic agents and functions

A
  • carbachol*

- constriction of the pupil

50
Q

mydriatic agents

A
  • phenylephrine (neo-synephrine)*

- dilation of the pupil

51
Q

function of cycloplegic agents (2)

A
  • allow mydriasis

- inhibits accommodation

52
Q

alpha chymotrypsin

A

facilitates lens extraction by dissolving zonular fibers

53
Q

positioning of the patient for ophthalmic surgery

A

supine with operative eye turned up

54
Q

position of OR bed during ophthalmic surgery
