Eyes

This chart is used to test distance vision:

Conjunctivitis will last about 1 week

• True

• False

Ptosis

• Abnormal shape of the cornea

• Drooping of the eyelid

• Freckle on the retina

Risk factors for this include: family history, African Americans; thin cornea, DM, CVD, myopia and older age

Glaucoma can be cured

• True

• False

Pathophysiology of ____________ aqueous production is increased and/or drainage decreased. This increased IOP causes irreversible mechanical and/or ischemic damage. 

Leading cause of blindness in the world

Post op positioning for surgical treatment of retinal detachment: 

Second leading cause of blindness in adults in the US

• Glaucoma

• Cataracts

• Retinal Disorders

Yellowish spots associated with aging

Leading cause of blindness in people age 20-74

________________ therapy for slowing prograssion of AMD; light sensitive dye is injected into vessels and a laser activates the dye, shutting down the vessels w/out damage to the retina.

The Optic nerve is the _____ cranial nerve.

• Eighth

• Dipivefrin, epinephrine

• Cholinergics

• Adrenergic agonists

This medication contributes to glaucoma and cataracts:

• Cholinergics

• Insulin

• Topical steriods

Increase uveoscleral outflow (2answers)

• Prostaglandin analogs

• Adrenergic agonists

• Latannoprost, bimatoprost

Decreases aqueous humor production (2 answers)

• Cholinergics

• Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors

• Acetazolamide, methazolamide

Decreases aqueous humor production (3 answers)

• Beta-blockers

• Cholinergics

• Prostaglandin analogs

• Betaxolol, timolol

• Alpha-adrenergic agonist

Increases aqueous fluid outflow by contracting the ciliary muscle and causing miosis and opening of trabecular meshwork (2 answers)

• Cholinergics

• Latannoprost, bimatoprost

• Beta-blockers

• Pilocarpine, Carbachol

Which of these surgical treatments will help retinal detachment

• Scleral buckle

• Intraocular injections

• Pars plana vitrectomy

• Stapedectomy

Signs/symptoms of glaucoma:

• Halos/rainbows around artificial light

• Sensation of a shade or curtain coming across the vision of one eye

• Bright flashing lights

• Usually unaware of conditions until significant vision loss

• Difficulty focusing

• Ptosis
