(35 cards)
OD means
Right eye
OS means
Left eye
OU means
both eyes
A well lit- environment
Photopic
a dark environment
Scotopic
Disruption of the corneal epithelium and exposures of the corneal stroma
Corneal Ulceration
application of fluorescein dye to the ocular surface which appears at the nares. This is a test of nasolacrimal patency
Positive Jones Test
Application of fluorescein dye to the ocular surface and subsquent appearance of aquous humor leaking through dense flurocine stain. Test confirms corneal perforation.
Positive Seidel Test.
defined as a breakdown of the blood ocular barrier
Uveitis
Vision loss that occurs from optic nerve damage as a result of high intraocular pressure
Glaucoma
all extra ocular structures that support and are associated with the eyeball.
Adnexa
abnormally small, shrunken eye. Typically result of chronic/severe ocular inflammation
Phthisis bulbi
inflammation of the eyelid
Blepharitis
Abnormal enlargement of the eyeball due to glaucoma.
Buphthalmos
Mirror like reflection of lightfrom the surface of the eye. this reflection becomes disturbed when the surface is irregular.
Specular reflection
new blood vessel growth into the cornea. (Classic sign of keratitis)
Corneal neovascularization.
Protein suspended in the anterior chamber that becomes evident when a narrow, bright and focused light source is directed at the eye.(pathognomonic sign of uveitis, graded on a scale of 0-4+)
Aqueous flare
Blood in the anterior chamber(supportive of uveitis or bleeding disorder)
Hyphema
alternating color of the iris of one or between eyes.(normal finding)
Heterochromia iridis
small constricted pupil
Miosis
Large dilated pupil
Mydriasis
360 degree posterior synechia such that the iris bulges forward and contours to a doughnut-like shape.(common sequela of uveitis and is a risk factor for glaucoma)
Iris bombe
Adhesion between iris and lens
posterior synechia
calcium and phosphate crystals. Sign of vitreal degeneration
astroid hyalosis
