22
Q

Tunics of eye

A

1) External Fibrous Tunic
- Cornea & Sclera
2) Middle Vascular Tunic
- Choroid, Ciliary Body, Iris
3) Internal Nervous Tunic
- Retina

23
Q

Lens

A

1) Biconvex Disc
2_ Bends light as it passes through
3) 1 cm diameter
4) Enclosed in capsule
5) Attached to ciliary body by suspensory ligaments (AKA zonular Fibers)
-contraction of ciliary musculature (Parasympathetic)=relax suspensory ligaments
-becomes more convex (Round)
-resutls in more refractive power for near vision
6) Accommodation
-altering the convexity/shape of lens to bring object into focus

24
Q

Accommodation

A

1) Alter the convexity/shape of lens to bring object into focus

25
Q

Cornea

A

1) Translucent
- avascular and no lymph vessels
- receives nutrients via diffusion
2) Continuous with sclera
3) Specialized collagen that allows light through
4) Takes a long time to heal due to lack of vasculature and lymph
5) No transplant rejection
- tissue type doesn’t matter bc blind to immune system

26
Q

Vitreous Chamber

A

1) Behind Lens
2) Vitreous Humor
-clear gel like
-not filled with guild
no turnover

27
Q

Anterior Chamber

A

1) In front of Lens & Iris
- behind cornea
2) Contains Aqueous Humor
- fluid like substance
- turned over
- made by ciliary processes

28
Q

Ciliary Body

A

1) Contain Ciliary Processes
- span from posterior chamber through pupil into anterior chamber
- produce aqueous humor continuous
2) Contain Ciliary Muscle
- Smooth Muscle
- Controls shape of lens by putting tension on Zonule Fibers
- sphincter sapped
- contract=smaller

29
Q

Pathway of Aqueous Humor

A

1) Ciliary Processes
2) Iridial/filtration angle
3) Sinus Venous Sclerae
4) Trabecular Meshwork
5) Spaces of Fontana
6) Canal of Schlemm
7) Aqueous Vein
8) Anterior Ciliary Vein

30
Q

Glaucoma

A

1) Blockage of aqueous humor/fluid outflow
2) Can lead to blindness
3) Increased intraocular pressure
- most likely draining problem
4) TX:
- drugs that inhibit parasympathetic component (Ach)
- which dilates pupil=iris expanding

2 Types
1) Open Angle
-AKA chronic Glaucoma
-Most common (90%)
0free flow around angle, but issue with trabecular meshwork
2) Angle Closure Glaucoma (5%)
-AKA acute glaucoma 
-Obstructing flow of fluid @ iridial/filtration angle
-not chronic 
-more of problem when in dark room
-Most common in asians
31
Q

A

1) Fluid Filled
- same as anterior chamber
2) Lateral to lens
3) Contains ciliary bodies/processes/muscles

32
Q

A

1) Smooth Muscle
2) Makes pupil smaller or larger
3) Composed of
Sphincter Pupillae
-concentric
-parasympathetic

Dilator Pupillae

  • radial (Bicycle spikes)
  • sympathetic
33
Q

Zonule Fibers

A

1) Attach lens to ciliary process

2) Found in posterior chamber

Choroid

Sclera

  • white of eyes
  • most exterior
35
Q

A

1) Blind spot

- when both eyes are used do not have blind spot in visual field

36
Q

2) Progressive–>Gets worse with age
- 40 y.o. avg age of onset
3) Separate pathology from near/far vision
4) Problem w/accomodation
5) Anterior/posterior diameter will not increase much even with tension on zonula fibers

44
Q

Near Vision

A

1) Changes lens shape to focus on things close
2) Edinger wesphal stimulate ciliary muscles to contract causing less tension on zonula fibers
- anterior posterior length is greater (sphere)
- EW stimulates parasympathetic system of CN3

45
Q

Far Vision

A

1) Ciliary muscles relax
2) Increases tension of ZOnule fibers
- stretch to oval shape
3) Anterior posterior length is less
