Q

Old culture method

A

Each culture plate divided into 4 quads so you can place left eye’s lids and conj. on the same side of the plate and right conj. and lid on right side of plate.

Q

How to obtain a culture from a corneal ulcer?

A
  1. A kimura platinum spatula (must heat and cool to serialize)
  2. Sterile calcium alginate swab dipped in TSB (fungi or bacteria culture)
  3. Sterile Dacron/polyester swab (viral culture)
29
Q

Ways to plate corneal swabs?

A
  1. Two rows of C with each C representing a different sample area
  2. entire plate reserved for one sample
30
Q

Smears and scrapings

A

cytology. Used when an ocular infection needs culturing to ID organisms and get diagnosis.

31
Q

Staining with smears and scraping

A
  1. Gram stains: differ between pos and neg

2. Giemsa stain: used when etiology of organism is unknown and info is needed regarding cytological response.

32
Q

Culturing with smears and scraping

A

Plate them on a clean glass slide (not a plate) and then fix the slide.

33
Q

Positive staining

A

When there is a pooling of the stain in epithelial defects

34
Q

Negative staining

A

When there is elevated epithelium that causes fluorescein to collected at the base of the heaped area

35
Q

No staining

A

Occurs when there is intact epithelium

36
Q

Sodium fluoroscene

A

Used with a cobalt filter to evaluate the integrity of the cornea and tear film

37
Q

What does Lissamine green stain

A

Stain devitalized cell, mucus and keratin. Can view with white light.

38
Q

What does Rose Bengal Stain

A

Stains devitalized cells as well. View with white light. Different from lissamine green as it stings upon instillation.

39
Q

Line of Marx

A

Check for staining at line of marx. This is area from lid margin to meiobomian glands. The thicker the line, the more severe the dry eye. A line of marx from the margin to the meiobomian glands is considered severe.

40
Q

Schirmer test

A

Use to measure the volume of aqueous in the eye. Put the strip along the later 1/3 eyelid. Have patient relax with eyes closed. After five minutes take the reading.

41
Q

Values for schirmer

A

A normal eye will wet between 10-30 mm in schirmer 1 and 2. Measurments between 5-10 are borderline and those below 5 are suggestive of dry eye

42
Q

Schirmer 1

A

performing the schemer without anesthetic. Test of reflexive tearing and basic tear levels

43
Q

Schirmer 2

A

Using anesthetic. Measure the basic secretory tear level.

44
Q

Phenol red test

A

Does not require anesthetic. Put curved portion over the temporal aspect of the lower lid. Leave for 15 seconds and remove and measure amount of moisture on the thread.

45
Q

Phenol red readings

A

20 mm or greater is normal
11-19mm is borderline
0-10 mm is dry eye.

46
Q

TBUT times

A

10-15 seconds is normal. Less then 10 seconds is indicative of dryness.

47
Q

tear meniscus values

A

A normal tear meniscus will be about .20 mm +/- .04 mm. .15 mm is a borderline measure. .10 +/-.04 may be a sign of dry eye.

48
Q

Jones Dye Test

A

Determines if the lacrimal drainage system is working.

49
Q

Jones Dye Test 1

A

Put 4 sodium fluoroscene strips in the eye. After five minute have patient occlude one nostril and blow into kleenex. If NaFl present test is positive. If not wait five more minutes and blow again. If still none hold a cotton tip applicator in the nose and rub for dye. If still none massage the lacrimal sac and ask patient to blow. If NaFl is now evident it indicates narrowing or a partial obstruction. If no NaFl a blockage is possible and jones 2 is performed

50
Q

Jones 2

A

Irrigate the nasolacrimal system with saline solution through inferior punctum after applying NaFl. Recover some of the saline by having patient lean forewarned and expectorate into a basin or blow nose into a white tissue. Inspect for NaFL. positive=system has a functional blockage. Negative=functional blockage exists that is nearer to the punctum then canaliculus.

51
Q

Indirect Illumination

A

The microscope is focused on an area immediately adjacent to the illuminated tissue.

52
Q

Retroillumination

A

Light is reflected off the anterior surface of the iris as the cornea is focused. Lesion will be backlighted and appear black due to absorption of reflected light. Can also perform this will illumination of fundus.

53
Q

Oscillating

A

Use the illumination arm or rotate the mirror back and forth while viewing the point of interest.

54
Q

Specular reflection

A

60 degrees for endo. Optic section for endothelium.

55
Q

Sclerotic Scatter

A

Put light on temporal limbus and see how much of a limbal glow you get.

56
Q

Slit lamp reticule technique for lesion measurement

A

Focus slit lamp on lesion. Reduce the length of the beam to coincide with the lesion and record measurement in mm. Rotate the reticle to the horizontal position and repeat.

57
Q

PD rule technique for measuring

A

Focus the slit lamp on the lesion and center the beam along the longest height of the lesion. Reduce the height of the beam to the size of the lesion while staying in focus. Have patient sit back and hold the pd ruler to the beam and make sure it is in flu focus and measure the height of the light in mm.

58
Q

Why do we do double lid eversion

A

To gain access to the superior fornix.

59
Q

Meiobomian gland transillumination

A

Place the transilluminator under the exterior of the everted eyelid and turn up to high. Unhealthy truncated glands or absent glands will appear dark

60
Q

Heat therapy/warm compress for meiobomian gland disfunction

A

Heat eye masks according to package and apply to closed eyelids 2-3x daily for 10-15 minutes.

61
Q

meiobomian gland expression

A

Cold requires 20-30lbs of P. Heating only requires 10 lbs.

62
Q

How to get plug into punctum?

A

Must pull the eye laterally!

63
Q

What acid do you use for lesion destruction?

A

Dicholoracetic acid.

64
Q

RPS MMP-9

A

Will indicate if the tear film has elevated levels of mmp-9 (an inflammation marker)

65
Q

Signifigant values for tear lab

A

Noted for dry eye if osmolarity greater then 308 or greater then 8 difference between the two.

66
Q

Lipiview signifigant values

A

Tear layer less then 60 nm thick or incomplete blink of greater then 40%

67
Q

Korb Meiobomian GLand Expressor

A

Signifigant for dry eyes if less then 6 glands are excreting.

68
Q

Currette

A

Tool used to dig stuff out of chalazion after it has been clamped by the chalazion clamp
