Theory and methods quizlet exam 1 - Sheet1 Flashcards
Tan-
Antimicrobials
Vitreous Cortex
Shell of condenses vitreous that surrounds gel; Anterior hyaloid face starts 1.5mm anterior to ora serrata; Posterior hyaloid face adheres to internal limiting membrane of retina. Made mostly of intensely packed collagen fibrils
Paremyd
0.25% tropicamide and 1% hydroxyamphetamine which is a Sympathomimetic, good for dilation with minimal accommodative effect. More expensive. Mydriasis and weak cycloplegia
Tropicamide Hydrochloride
Muscarinic Antagonist. Causes Mydriasis and cycloplegia. Used in clinic for: Routine dilation, Cycloplegic “damp” refraction, Pre and Post Operative Surgery. Side effects: Photophobia, blurry vision, lasts 6 hours, unknown effect in pregnancy
Phenylephrine Hydrochloride
Direct-acting sympathomimetic. Contracts radial muscle of iris for dilation. Causes mydriasis, no cycloplegia. Used in clinic for: 0.12% solution for allergies OTC; 2.5% solution for routine eye exam dilation. Pre and Post operative surgery exams: 10% solution to break posterior synechia. Adverse effects: stinging, headache, tears, photophobia, possible sympathetic reactions, blanching in eyes, lasts 6 hours, unknown effect in pregnancy. Caution for cardiac disease, severe HTN, aneurysms. Very expensive
Reticular/ Bullous Retinschisis
Splitting of nerve fiber layer; 0.95% prevalence of population; taut ballooning of tissue as blister, reticular pattern due to sclerosed scleral vessels; outer layer shows honeycomb pattern and reduced choroidal detail; 1/3 associated with retinal detachment; 3/4 have snowflake bodies; Blister thought to be filled with hyaluronic acid
Fluramene.
Combo of Lissamine and fluorescein sodium. Allows tear film and corneal assessment in one drop, Viscosity designed to not break up tear film
Diffuser SL Filter
Used for general, non focal illumination, for anterior segment. Low magnification, used for gross examination of lids and skin, max width and height
Green-
Miotics
How much of an eye drop is typically absorbed in the eye?
5%
Cobalt Blue BIO filter
Autofluorescence of optic disk; drusen
Best place to introduce an ophthalmic preparation.
Lower eyelid cul-de-sac
Rose Bengal Vital Dye
Surface integrity evaluation for damaged or dead cells; 1% 1.3 mg paper strip; Stains vivid magenta for about 5 minutes, stings significantly; Used for dry eye and herpes keratitis evaluations; May be hard to differentiate red dye and inflammation;
CHRPE
Solitary pigmented lesion w/ or w/o a hypopigmented halo; Bear tracks; Atypical pigmented lesions; Hyperplasia of the RPE; “freckle of the eye”
Ophthalmic Suspension
Solid particles in a liquid; Must be shaken before dispersed for homogeneity
Sclerotic Scatter
Light is directed to limbus and indirect illumination highlights subtle findings of cornea
Haag Streit illumination
Vertical illumination with bulb at top of tower
Vogt (Kohler) Illumination
Homogeneous beam
Corona ciliaris
Anterior portion of ciliary body; 2mm wide; probably won’t see this on BIO; Contains 60-70 ciliary processes
Pars Plana
Broad, flat, pigmented band about 4-5mm wide of ciliary body
At risk for angle closure
Less than grade 2 van Herick; Half or less of trabecular meshwork seen in all four quadrants
Why do we dilate?
Look at retinal periphery: retinal tears and detachments, infection, inflammation, neoplasm; Look at lens for cataracts
Pink
Anti-Inflammatories
Ora Serrata
Junction of neural retina and ciliary body, Has ciliary processes and corrugated appearance nasally
Ophthalmic Ointments
Non-aqueous; Base is oily chemical like petroleum, paraffin oil, or lanolin; Sterile preparations must be prescribed that way for eye use, OTC versions are not sterile
Sodium Fluorescein Dye
2% solution, Comes in 1 mg filter paper strip or single dose sterile pipettes. Used with cobalt blue filter to assess integrity of cornea and conjunctiva. Conjunctiva will stain orange, cornea and anterior chamber will be green. Marks damaged areas. Fluorescence affected by pH, concentration, other things in solution. Other uses: TBUT, Goldmann tonometry, detecting foreign bodies or wounds, Jones test 1 or 2. May sting or cause yellowed vision
Vitreous base
Area at ora serrata where the vitreous adheres firmly to retina; Vitreous fibrils originate here; May be hyperpigmented; There is almost never a detachment here
Lissamine Green Vital Dye.
Bluish-green alternative to Rose Bengal with much less discomfort. Same instillment and uses as Rose Bengal
Zeiss illumination
Round housing unit at middle of instrument with bulb encased
Aqueous Ophthalmic Solutions
Saline and salts to maintain pH 5.0-8.0, 2 year shelf life
