SS 3 Flashcards
Corneal ulcer vs erosion
Ulcer is full thickness
You will see
- blepharospasm (squint) and epiphora (tears)
- local edema
.- conjunctival hyperemia (excess of vessels supplying eye ) and chemosis (swelling of tissue)
-Ocular discharge with color depending on secondary infection
Exophthalmus vs. buophthalmus
Exophthalmos is a normal-sized globe that is being pushed forward by a space occupying lesion in the orbit, most commonly a retrobulbar abscess/cellulitis or neoplasia. Buphthalmos, on the other hand, is a normally-positioned globe that is enlarged due to elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), i.e., glaucoma.
Test for KCS dry eye
Schemer tear test
What do you have to do when treating ulcer in cornea
Schemer Tear test and find underlying cause
Topical antimicrobials till the epithelium grows back
No steroids
Of these corneal Surgery procedures
Which is bad for ulcer:
Keratectomy
Corneal graft
Conjunctival flap
3rd eyelid flap
Tarsorrhapy
Bad:
3rd eyelid flap removal
Tarsorrhapy close eye
Scced
Spontaneous chronic corneal epithelial defect
No underlying problem- and no secondary infection
An epithelial problem with a stromal dead zone
That is Debrided
When there is an corneal Abscess or ulcer in horse what is commonly secondary
Uveitis
Pigmentary Keratitis is cause by
Chronic irritation to the cornea
Happens in boachycephalic dog
corneal abcess to heal it you have to…
Vascularize the corneal stroma- blood vessels need to grow there
Is the cornea is shiny then what is it?
it is a lipid keratopathy, which is non-painful and caused by accumulation of the lipid in cornea.
BILATERAL lipid dystrophy that would be bilateral and inherited.
UNILATERAL previous accident that leads to lipid degeneration in the cornea like a scar
Systemic abnormalities like a lipid storage disorder, which is rare
equine immune mediated keratitis
It is nonpainful
It has four categories, epithelial, superficial stromal, mid stromal, endothelial
For medical management with topical corticosteroids and cyclosporine, it can be done with the two stroma layers and epithelium
Surgical management could only be done with superficial stromal
Endothelial, dystrophy, or degeneration in the cornea
The treatment would be to draw out the fluids, so they wouldn’t make the cornea clearer
Medically it would be hyper osmotic
Surgically it would be a conjunctiva flap or keratoplasty
What animals are affected by eosinophil keratitis
Cats and horses
Treat with topical steroids. It is the only ulcer that you will treat with steroids.
What is the lymphatic drainage of the eye?
The conjunctiva
Bacterial conjunctivitis
Not happening primarily
It is secondary to KCS or forieng body
Except for infectious bovine risinotrachitis which is moxellabovis
Rose bengal stain
What is pathneumonic for herpes
For feline herpes virus most common conjuentival prob in-cat
Corneoconjunctival
- antivirals topically and orally
90% of cats
2nd to A break in immune barrier
Dendritic ulcers are pathoneremonic for FHV
Rose bangal stain reuptake also means KCS. Bc it binds to epithelium under the tears
Most common ocular disease in dogs
Lack of aqueous tear film on eye
Kcs
Bony orbital fossa is incomplete for
Carnivores and pigs
What causes orbital disease
Change in the volume of the orbit or change in function of the structures
With globe neoplasia
Unilateral exophthalmos
Exoneration of eye - remove everything
Blood in anterior chamber because of trauma
H yphema
In proptosis
Function of pre corneal tear film
Antimicrobial
Deliver oxygen to avascular cornea
Remove debris from corneas: conjunctiva,
Blepharitis
Inflamed eyelid
Neurogenic kcs
In kcs there is over production of mucin by goblet cells
Neurogenic is a dry nose cipsilateral xeromycleria)
Ankyloblephson
Eyes held closed (sealed at birth 10-15 days)
Infectious if it becomes pathologic and ophthalmic neonatorum
Eyelid agenesis
Treatment would be ocular lubrication and cryotherapy to prevent eyelid from touching eye, or reconstructive lipcommissure
Facial nerve, paralysis, exophthalmic, and buphthalmia
Are all clinical signs of acquired lagophilhamos
A stye, or an impacted meibomian gland treatment
Chalazion
It is firm, non-painful
Most common eyelid neoplasia
Dogs have meibobian adenoma or epitheliuma
Reconstructive blepharoplasty
For eyelid neoplasia involving more than 1/3 of lid
And for lid agenesis
Nuclear sclerosis versus cataracts, when looking through a distant, direct ophthalmoscope
Nuclear sclerosis does not obstruct light from reflecting back, but Cataracs do
As the lens magnification increases
The lens diopter power number decreases
And the field of view decreases
Sooooo as the lens diopter power gets smaller, the magnification gets greater, and the field of view get smaller
Florescien stain helps
Detect corneal, ulcers under cobalt blue light
And check the nasolacrimal duct system by seeing if the stain is draining through the nose
Herpesvirus keratitis
◦Cats, horses
Trifuridine 1% and idiouriaine 0.5%
Virostatic
