Eye Flashcards
what kind of protection should you take on your knees
glasses or remember you can breath out of your nose
viruses that cause eye infections
HSV varicella adenovirus enterovirus 70 coxsackie A24 newcastle disease West nile
viruses that cause infections for fetus
CMV
rubella
latent infection of HSV
trigeminal ganglia or sacral ganglia
can be reactivated and cause secondary infections of the eye
components of stromal layer
keratocytes (fibroblastoid)
orderly collagen fibers
function of innermost layer of cells
endothelial
osmotic pump to keep stromal layer dehydrated
characteristic destruction of dendritic keratitis
winding stream
visualized with fluorescent dye and blue light
rose bengal and slit lamp
receptors for HSV
outer cornea
broader lesions from HSV
geographic ulcers
involvement of keratocytes in stromal layer with HSV infection
stromal ulcers
cannot form collagen in orderly array
results in loss of visual acuity
corneal melting
immune system attacks stromal layer of cornea
antigens present in stroma elicit infiltration of stroma by PMNs
macrophages and activated T cells cause further damage
treatment with steroids can exacerbate destruction
endothelial cell layer destroyed and corneal hydrated
corneal transplants after HSV
latent virus in trigeminal ganglia
reactivation can cause infectious process to start all over again
herpes varicella zoster virus
infection of conjunctiva
also corneal infection
recurrent infections from varicella
keratoconjunctivitis, uveitis, optical nerve palsies
CMV in eye
chorioretinitis
results in cataract formation and microphthalmia
AIDs and fetus
rubella in eye
shunts the growth of tissue (decreased replication in tissue)
cataract formation
adenovirus in eye
resistant to activation in environment
viable in water
causes keratoconjunctivitis
shipyard conjunctivitis
enterovirus 70 and coxackie A24
cause hemorrhagic conjunctivitis
seen in tropics
newcastle disease virus
infects chickens and farmers occasionally
first order neuron of sympathetic innervation of eye
cell body in hypothalamus
descend, synapse C8-T1
known as cilospinal center of Budge (lateral horn grey matter)
second order neuron of sympathetic innervation of eye
exit spinal cord, ascend sympathetic chain and terminate in superior cervical ganglion
third order neuron of sympathetic innervation of eye
ride along common carotid artery
internal carotid artery sympathetic to
dilator muscle
mullers muscle
sweat glands of forehead
external carotid artery sympathetic to
sweat glands of face
edinger-westphal nucleus
axons emerge from interpeduncular fossa of midbrain
synapse with ciliary ganglion
ciliary ganglion
enter posterior globe around optic nerve as short posterior ciliary nerves
innervate iris sphincter muscle and ciliary muscle
alpha 1 innervation
iris dilator (radial muscle)
mueller’s smooth muscle
conjunctival blood vessels
beta 2 innervation (some alpha 2)
ciliary processes
M3 innervation
iris sphincter
ciliary muscle
phenylephrine
alpha1
dilation for diagnosis
apraclonidine
alpha2
fast reduction in IOP
pre/post op laser treatment
loses effectiveness long term
brimonidine
alpha2
for glaucoma
cocaine
diagnosis of Horners
indirect-blocks NE reuptake
hydroxy amphetamine
isolate Horners
indirect-NE release of postganglionic
decrease of IOP from apraclonidine
activation of alpha2 presynaptic leads to reduced activation B2 of epithelium to decrease aqueous production
post junction A2 decreases production
A2 episcleral increase outflow through uveoscleral drainage
ocular side effects of apraclonidine
allergic reaction
alpha1 stimulation-mydriasis, conjunctival vascualr constriction, lid retraction
decrease IOP from bromonidine
selective for alpha2
neuroprotective properties of bromonidine
stimulates blood flow to optic nerve
first line of treatment for primary open angle glaucoma
beta blockers and prostaglandins
first line for normal tension glaucoma
bromonidine
ocular side effects of bromonidine
allergic reaction
no alpha1
Horners
miosis-loss of iris dilator function
ptosis-loss of Muellers (still have levator muscle so not full ptosis)
anhydrosis-loss of sweat gland
cocaine for diagnosis
normal-dilation due to increased iris dilator function
Horner-no response, no NE in synapse
MOA hydroxyamphetamine
causes release of NE from presynaptic axon terminals of post ganglionic neuron on the iris dilator
hydroxyamphetamine preganglionic
dilates from topical
lesions-pancoast tumor (tumor apex of lung)
thoracic aortic aneurysm
hydroxyamphetamine postganglionic
no dilation
goiter
cavernous sinus syndrome
