Lens and Cataract: Evaluation and Management Flashcards
nuclear
this cataract has no impact on near vision
nuclear
this cataract has the greatest effect on distance vision
cortical
this cataract has a mild impact on near and distance vision
PSC
this cataract has a mild effect on far vision but a marked effect on near vision
increased glare
optical risk of dilation therapy for small axial cataracts
alpha-1a blockers
medication class associated with IFIS
RLS, head tremor
movement problems that should be explored before cataract surgery (may change type of anesthesia)
posterior capsule disruption
prior vitrectomy increases the risk of this during cataract surgery
posterior polar opacity
this congenital anomaly poses a significantly increased risk of intraoperative posterior capsular disruption
+10 D
when using the direct ophthalmoscope at distance (2 ft) for evaluation of cataracts, this lens should be used
20/200
PAP is done in eyes with acuity better than this
0.3 mm
an unexplained difference in preoperative axial length measurements should be no greater than this
applanation, immersion
two types of A-scan ultrasonography
1.5
approximate relative transit speed of silicone oil versus vitreous
optical biometer
