Unit 3- Ophthalmic Flashcards
Blood-Ocular Barriers
Blood-aqueous and blood-retinal, inflammation decreases effectiveness and lets drugs in
α1
Pupil dilation, increased lacrimal secretion
β2
Ciliary relaxation
M Receptors
Pupil constriction, ciliary contraction, increased lacrimal secretion
Parasympathetic Innervation
Lacrimal glands, iris sphincter, extraocular muscles
Sympathetic Innervation
Adnexa, iris dilator, ciliary body, iridocorneal angle
Hyaloideocapsular Ligament
Junction of lens and anterior vitreous, barrier of movement anteriorly or posteriorly
Intracameral Injection
Injection into anterior chamber
Intravitreal Injection
Injection into vitreous
Peribulbar Injection
Injection behind the globe
Subconjunctival Injection
Injection between conjunctiva and sclera
Systemic Treatment
Must be lipophilic, indicated for eyelid or orbital disease, or posterior segment disease
Glaucoma
Increased IOP due to decreased aqueous humor drainage
Primary Glaucoma
Abnormality of drainage angle
Secondary Glaucoma
Obstruction of drainage
β Blockers
Timolol and betaxolol, decreased humor production
Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors
Dorzolamide, brinzolamide, methozolamine, acetozolamide, decrease humor production
