Q

what happens if the iris gets stuck to the lens

A

fluid is pumped through this gap, if the iris and the lens are closed then the fluid cannot flow
fluid accumulates in the intraoccqular space
increases intraoocular pressure and pushes the iris forward
call Acute angle closer glaucoma

Q

acute angle closure glaucoma

A

the iris becomes attached to the lens
very painful, not uncommon
blurred vision, peri-orbital ache
increase in intraoccqular pressure

Q

how do we drain tears

A

drains through the upper and lower punctae (singular punctum)
into the cannulinculus into lacrimal sack and down the naso-lacrimal duct

Q

what happens if the lacrimal sack gets infected

lacro-cystitis
can extend posteriorly and cause orbital cellulitis which is a threat to life

Q

peri-orbital cellulitis

A

peri-orbital erythema and oedema
you have to check: is this Peri-orbital cellulitis or orbital cellulitis
orbital cellulitis is a threat to life, peri-orbital cellulitis just needs oral antibiotics
peri-orbital cellulitis is just an infection of the skin and unusually co-incides with a sinus infection

Q

how would you know if there was orbital cellulitis on CT

A

check the tissue in the orbit - does it look symmetrical
the optic nerve loses its kink

21
Q

on fundoscopy, nerve is closest to

A

the nose

22
Q

fovea is the centre of

A

the macula

23
Q

where is the macula

A

macula is temporal to the optic nerve

24
Q

optic cup is

A

within the optic disc

25
Q

in glaucoma what happens to the optic cup

A

the ratio of the diameter of the optic cup and the optic disc is increased
the cup should be less than half of thee disc

26
Q

myopia is when

A

light is focussed in front of the retina
the eye is too long

27
Q

hypermetropia is when

A

light is focussed behind the retina

28
Q

myopia is correct with

A

concave lens

29
Q

hypermetropia is corrected with

A

convex lens

30
Q

hypermetropia is when you can see

A

far away but not close by

31
Q

presbyopia

A

losing reading (close) vision with age

32
Q

astigmatism

A

eyeball is not perfectly round
like an AFL ball

33
Q

medications relevant on the ophthalmic history

A

hydroxychloroquine/plaquenil
prednisolone
amioderone
ethambutol

these can have toxic eye effects

34
Q

things important on family history

A

squint/strabismus
glaucoma
ARMD

35
Q

if a patient has flashes/floaters you should be oncerced about

A

detached retina

36
Q

differential for acute painless loss of vision

A

usually unilateral
retinal vein/artery occlusion, wet ARMD, ischaemic optic neuropathy, diabetic macular oedema/vitreous haemorrhage, retinal detachment

37
Q

pain on eye movements may be

A

optic neuritis

38
Q

glare by be

A

uveitis

39
Q

distortion (metomorphopsia) may be

A

things look wonky
macular disease

40
Q

diplopia, pupil or eyelid bay be

A

cranial nerve palsy, raised ICP

41
Q

scintillating scitoma

A

classic migraine

42
Q

chronic onset painless loss of vision differentials

A

gradual onset
months to years
usually bilateral
refractive error, cataract, glaucoma, dry ARMD

43
Q

the big four causes of chronic onset painless loss of vision

A

dry ARMD, glaucoma, refractive error, cataract

44
Q

drusen are

A

deposits in macular degeneration

45
Q

binocular painful red eye is usually

A

conjunctivitis or may also be allergic

46
Q

discharge or watering WONT be caused by

A

discharge is not associated with uveitis, episcleritis, and scleritis

more likely to be conjunctivitis

47
Q

recent dental or sinus infection is a risk factor for

A

orbital cellulitis

48
Q

painful red eye differential

A

trauma
infections
inflammation
glaucoma (acute angle closure)

49
Q

what is an Amsler grid chart

A

a chart given to patients with macular degeneration so that they can monitor their distrotion at home

50
Q

you should never discharge patients with

A

topical anaesthetic drops
topical steroid drops (unless directed by ophthalmology)
