dacryocystitis
yellowing of the conjunctiva
jaundice
inflammation of the conjuctiva
conjunctivitis
caused by corneal injury/infection, acute iritis or acute glaucoma
ciliary injection
worrisome pattern of blood vessels radiating from the center of the eye
ciliary injection
bleeding between conjunctivita and sclera
subconjuctival hemorrhage
inflammation of sclera
keratitis
inflammation of iris
uveitis (iritis)
fibrous nodule in the eye
pinguecula
triangular growth in the eye, it will continue to grow and obscere the vision
pterygium
older people have these in their eyes, forms a line or ring around the iris
corneal arcus
4 types of cataracts
Nuclear
Peripheral
Polar
Sutural
type of cataracts that is in the center of the lengs
nuclear
type of cataracts that is in the edge of the lens
peripheral
type of cataracts that is a tiny dot in the lens, common in children
polar
type of cataracts that has lines in the lens
sutural
a rapidly developing cancer that develops from the immature cells in the retina, the light detecting cells of the eye.; most common malignant tumor of the eye in children
Retinoblastoma
death of the optic nerve fibers leads to loss of the tiny disc vessels; appearance is color of white, tiny disc vessels absent, seen in optic neuritis, multiple sclerosis, and temporal arteritis
optic atrophy
elevated intracranial pressure causes intraaxonal adema along the optic nerve, leading to engorgement and swelling of the optic disc
Papilledema
The optic disc appears color pink, often with loss of venous pusations, disc vessels more visible, more numerous, curve over the borders of the disc; disc swollen with margins blurred, the physiologic cup is NOT visible
Papilledema
What is papilledema usually seen in?
intracranial mass, lesion, or hemorrhage, meningitis
incraesed pressure within the eye leads to increased cupping (backward depression of the disc) and atrophy. the base of the enlarged cup is pale
glaucomatous cupping
The appearance of the optic disc = physiologic cup is enlarged, occupying more than half of the dis’s diameter, at times extending to the edge of the disc. Retinal vessels sink in and under it, and may be displaced nasally
Glaucomatous cupping
