Visual System Flashcards
Which layer of cornea has HIGH REGENERATIVE capaticy?
epitelium
The layer of cornea is Acellular, unorganized collagen fibers, and is barrier to infection
Bowmans membrane
Layer of cornea that binds water, and maintains corneal clarity
Stroma
Stroma has what type of fibers?
type 1 collagen
which layer of cornea contributes to it’s thickness?
Stroma
These corneal cells will increase thickness with age and are entothelial cells
Descemets membrane
This simple layer of cells pumps water out of the stroma
Endothelium
Function of cornea
major refractive function
Nearsightedness is called ______
and has focus point:
Myopia
in front of fovea
Correct for Mypoia with a ______lens
Diverging or concave lens (-)
Farsisightedness is called _____
and has focus point:
hyperopia
beyond
Correct for hyperopia with a ______lens
convex lens
A perfect vision eye is:
diffraction limited
Lasik patient will have ____ point spread function and_______ wave aberrations
larger
tighter
What are the three layer of the choroid
vessel layer–> choriocapillary layer–> Bruchs membrane
Three contact regions of ciliary body:
vitresous body, sclera, chamber
How does aquouse humor drain from anterior chamber?
via trabecular meshwork
Where is trabelcular meshwork located?
near the limbus
What is the anterior surface of eye made of? and how does it determine eye color?
vascular, loose CT
has melanocytes and the number and type will determine eye color
What makes up posterior surface of iris?
double layer of pigmented epi to absorb light
Where is the pupilary dialator located?
bwn vascular and pigmented layer of iris
What nerve system innervates pupillary dialator m?
Sympatheic
Myoepithelial cells make up:
dialator pupillae muscle
-RADIALLY arranged
Concentric smooth muscle bunds at inner aspect of iris make up:
sphincter pupillae m.
Innervation of sphincter pupillae
PNS vi oculomotor nerve
Aqueos humor is located:
anterior chamber
Anterior chamber located:
between lens and pupil
Anterior chamber is vascular/avascular
avascular
What part of eye is key for maintaining intraocular pressure?
anterior chamber
What is the order for aqueous flow?
ciliary processes–> posterior chamber–> anterior chamber–> trabecular meshwork–> Schlemms canal–> veins of sclera
If you have open angle but have glaucoma, what is cause?
Issues with reabsorption and developes slower over time
If you have closed angle of iris what kind of issues will you ahve?
acute and quick and very painful.
Clincal signs of glaucoma include: Pressure
Elevated pressure above 12-22 mmHG called tonometry
Clincal signs of glaucoma: with visual field
visual field defect and have a selective peripheral loss of sensitivity
