Q

Role of the lateral and medial check ligaments

A

They are both fascicle expansions of the muscle sheathes from the medial and lateral recti muscles. The check ligaments prevent eye from rotating into orbit.

Q

Anatomical origin of the SO

Physiological origin

A

Lesser wing of the sphenoid
Catilaginous trochlea on the superior medial orbit wall.
The muscle ends before the trochlea. The tendon passes through the trochlea.

Q

Insertion of the IO

A

Posterior lateral globe. Mostly inferior.

19
Q

The IO has what degree angle with the visual axis/Y axis?

A

51

20
Q

Tangential point

A

Where the center of the muscle or tendon first touches the globe. Tangent here indicates the direction of pull.
Tangential point can move. Changes when the muscle contracts or relaxes

21
Q

Arc of contact

A

The arc formed between the tangential point and the center of the insertion on the sclera. Varies in length as the muscle contracts.

22
Q

Muscle plane

A

Determined by a tangential point and the center of rotation. Describes direction of pull of the muscle. Determines the axis of rotation.

23
Q

Axis of rotation is determined by

A

The muscle plane, which is determined by the tangential point.

The axis of rotation is that around which the muscle would rotate if contracting in isolation.

24
Q

Strabismus Surgery. Resection.

A

A section cut out (not including the point of insertion) to make a shorter muscle/stronger pull.

MR for exotrope and LR for esotrope

25
Q

Strabismus surgery. Recession.

A

Receed. Longer muscle. Weaker pull. Doesn’t mess with the already formed origin of insertion, but also creates a new one further back and hopes the old origin doesn’t cause any issues.

Decreases effective pull.

MR for esotrope
LR for exotrope

26
Q

Strabismus surgery. Transposition.

A

Moves the LR and MR up or down on the globe to effectively change the line of sight for vertical deviations.

Difficult to access SR and IR since they share fascicle sheathes, which is why vertical deviations are often treated this way.

27
Q

Field of fixation

A

Area within which central fixation is possible by moving only the eyes.

Mapping out where fovea is able to come in contact with a line of sight. Ask pt to move eyes monocularly and binocularly around as much as possible.

Monocular fields of fixation are larger than binocular since for binocular, both foveas have to be focusing on the same point at the same time.

28
Q

Limits to field of fixation

A

Configuration of structures around the eye- check ligament and nose
Refraction of the globe- long vs short axis.

Decrease will occur with age.

29
Q

PRACTICAL field of fixation

A

Includes head movements and is much larger.

30
Q

Primary, secondary, and tertiary POSITION

A

primary gaze: lines of sight are horizontal and perpendicular to the line between their centers of rotation.

Secondary gaze: Assumed when the eye moves from primary position along the horizontal or vertical axis. (up, down, left, or right).

Tertiary position: Assumed when the eye moves to any other location.

31
Q

Muscle plane is determined by what?

A

determined by a tangential point and the center of rotation.

32
Q

How does the tangential point and the muscle plane influence direction of pull?

A

Tangential point INDICATES direction of pull.

Muscle plane DESCRIBES direction of pull.

33
Q

The muscle plane determines the

A

Determines the axis of rotation. That around which the muscle would rotate if contracting in isolation. Axis of rotation is in the center of the muscle plane.

So if the muscle plane moves due to tangential point or center of rotation, it will cause the axis of rotation to also change.

34
Q

Tangential point determines ___

Muscle plane determines __

A

Tangential point determines direction of pull.

Muscle plane determines axis of rotation- that around which the muscle would rotate if contracting in isolation.

35
Q

When eyes are in primary gaze, what 3 angles are made?

A

23 degree angle made at line of sight due to superior and inferior rectus.

45 degree angle made at apex of orbit.

90 degree angle made near pituitary gland.
