inward turning of the eye |
esotropia |
|
outward turning of the eye |
exotropia |
|
lids are swollen and puffy lid tissues are loosely connected to excess fluid is easily appret thi occurs with local infetions; crying; and systemic condition such as congestive heart failure, renal failure, allergy, hypothyroidism (myxedema.) |
Periorbital edema |
|
is forward displacement of the eyeballs and widened palpebral fissures. lid lag in which upper lid rests well above the limbus and white sclera is visible. acquired bilateral exophthalmos is associated with thyrotoxicosis |
exophthalmos (protruding eyes) |
|
a look of narrowed palpebral fissures shows in which the eyeballs are recessed. |
enophthalmos (sunken eyes) |
|
is caused by loss of fat in theorbits and occurs with dehydraton and chronic wasting illnesses. |
bilateral enophthalmos |
|
occurs from neuromuscular weakness myasthenia gravis with bilateral fatigue as the day progresses, oculomotor cranial nerve 3 damage (horner's syndrome) or congenital. |
ptosis (drooping upper lid) |
|
the lower lid is loose and rolling out, does not approximate to eyeball. puncta cannot siphon tears effectively, so excess tearing result. eyes feel dry and itchy because the tears do not drain correctly over the corner and toward the medal canthus exposed palpebral conjunctiva increase risk of inflammation. |
ectropion |
|
considered normal in many children, when combined with epicanthal folds, hypertelorism large spacing between eyes and brushfield spots light colored areas in outer iris indicates down syndrome |
upward palpebral slant |
|
the lower lid rolls in because of spasm of lids or scar tissue contracting. constant rubbing of lashes may irritate cornea. The person feels a foreign body sensation |
entropion |
|
red, scaly, greasy flakes and thickened, crusted lid margins occur with staphylococcal infection or seborrheic dermatitis of the lid edge. symptoms include burning, itching, tearing, foreign body sensations and some pain. |
blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids) |
|
a beady nodule protruding on the lid, is an infection or retention cyst of a meiboian gland. it is non tender firm discrete swelling with freely movable skin overlying the nodule if is becomes inflamed, it points inside and nt on lid margin |
chalazion |
|
is a localized staphylococcal infection of the hair follicles at the lid margin. it is painful, red, and swollen a pustule at the li margin. rubbing the eyes can cause cross contamination and development of another eye. |
hordeolum (stye) |
|
is infection and blockage of sac and duct. pain warmth, redness, and swelling occur below the inner canthus toward nose. tearing is present. pressure on sac yields purulent discharge from puncta |
dacryocystitis (inflammation of the lacrimal sac) |
|
is rare, but it occurs most often on the lower lid and medial canthus it looks like a papule with an ulcerated center |
basal cell carcinoma |
|
is an infection of the lacrimal gland pain, swelling, and redness occur in the outer third of the upper lid it occurs with mumps, measles, and infectious mononucleosis or from trauma |
dacryoadenitis |
|
unequal pupil size, considers central nervous system disease |
anisocoria |
|
enlarged pupils occur with stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, reaction to sympathomimetic drugs, use of dilating drops, acute glaucoma, or past or recent trauma. also they herald central nervous system injury, circulatory arrest or deep anesthesia |
mydriasis dilated and fixed pupils |
|
no reaction to light pupil does constrict with accommodation small irregular bilaterally. occurs with central nervous system syphilis, brain tumor meningitis and chronic alcoholism |
Argyll Robertson pupil |
|
unilateral, small, regular, pupil does react to light and accommodation. a lesion of the sympathetic nerve. also note ptosis and absence of sweat anhidrosis on same side |
horner's syndrome |
|
when light is directed to the blind eye no response occurs in either eye wen light is directed to the normal eye both pupils constrict (direct and consensual response to light) |
monocular blindness |
|
sluggish reaction to light and accommodation. is usually unilateral a large regular pupil that does react, but sluggishly after long latent time no pathologic significance. |
tonic pupil (adie's pupil) |
|
unilateral dilated pupil with no reaction to light or accommodation occurs with oculomoter nerve damage. may also have ptosis with eye deviating down and laterally |
cranial nerve 3 damage. |
|
macula central blind area example: diabetes |
retinal damage |
|
blind spot (scotoma) corresponding to particular area |
localized damage |
|
decrease in peripheral vision (glaucoma). starts with paracentral scotoma early stage |
increasing intraocular pressure |
|
a shadow or diminished vision in one quadrant or one half of visual field |
retinal detachment |
|
injury yields one blind eye, or unilateral blindness |
lesion in globe or optic nerve |
|
injury to crossing fibers only yields a loss of nasal part of each retina and a loss of both temporal visual fields bitemporal (heteronymous)hemianopsia |
lesion at optic chiasm (pituitary tumor) |
|
lesion of outer uncrossed fibers at optic chiasm aneurysm of left internal caroid artery exerts pressure on uncrossed fibers |
injury yields left nasal hemianopsia |
|
lesion r optic tract or r optic radiation visual field loss in r nasal and L temporal fields loss of same half of visual field in both eyes is |
homonymous hemianopsia |
|
infection of the conjunctiva pink eye has red beefy looking vessels at periphery but usually clearer around iris this is common from bacterial or viral infection allergy or chemical irritation. purulent discharge accompanies bacterial infection preauricular lymph is often swollen and painful with a history of upper respiratory infection |
conjunctivitis |
|
deep dull red halo around the iris and cornea. pupil shape may be irregular from swelling of iris person also has marked photophobia constricted pupil blurred vision and throbbing pain warrants immediate referral |
iritis (circumcorneal redness) |
|
acute narrow angle glaucoma shows a circumsorneal redness around the iris with a dilated pupil pupil is oval dilated cornea looks steamy and anterior chamber is shallow occurs with sudden increase in intraocular pressure from blocked out flow from anterior chamber |
acute glaucoma |
|
person experiences a sudden clouding of vision sudden eye pain and halos around lights this requires emergency treatment to avoid permanent vision loss |
acute glaucoma |
|
a red patch on the sclera looks alarming but is usually not serious the red patch has sharp edges lie a spot of paint although here it is extensive it occurs from increased intraocular pressure from coughing vomiting weight lifting labor during childbirth, straining at stool or trauma |
subconjunctival hemorrhage |
|
a triangular opaque wing of bulbar conjunctiva overgrows toward the center of the cornea. looks membranous translucent and yellow to white usually invades from nasal side and may obstruct vision as it covers pupil occurs usually from chronic exposure to hot dry sandy climate |
pterygium |
|
this is the most common result of a blunt eye injury but irregular ridges usually visible only when fluorescein stain reveals yellow green blanching top layer of corneal epithelium removed from scratches or poorly fitting or overworn contact lenses |
corneal abrasion |
|
a light directed across the eye from temporal side illuminates the entire iris evenly because the normal iris is flat and creates no shadow. |
normal anterior chamber |
|
the iris is pushed anteriorly because of increased intraocular pressure because direct light is received form the temporal side only the temporal part of iris is illuminated the nasal side is shadowed the shadow sign can be a acute angle closure glaucoma |
shallow anterior chamber |
|
iris looks bulging because aqueous humor cannot circulate |
acute angle closure glaucoma |
|
blood in anterior chamber is a serious result of herpes zoster infection also occurs with blunt trauma (a fist or a baseball) or spontaneous hemorrhage. suspect scleral rupture or major intraocular trauma |
hyphema |
|
purulent matter in anterior chamber occurs with iritis and with inflammation in the anterior chamber |
hypopyon |
|
shows as an opaque gray surrounded by black background as if forms in the center of lens nucleus. looks like a black center against the red reflex |
central gray opacity nuclear cataract |
|
cortical cataract shows as asymmetric radial white spokes with black center black spokes are evident against the red reflex this forms in outer cortex of lens progressing faster than nuclear cataract |
star shaped opacity cortical cataract |
|
is a white or gray color of the disc as a result of partial or complete death of the optic nerve. this results in decreased visual acuity decreased color vision and decreased contrast sensitivity |
optic atrophy disc pallor |
|
increased intracranial pressure causes venous stasis in the globe, showing redness, congestion and elevation of the disc blurred margins hemorrhages and absent venous pulsations serious sign of intracranial pressure visual acuity is not affected |
papilledema (choked dis) |
|
with primary open angle glaucoma the increased intraocular pressure decrease blood supply to retinal structures. the physiologic cup enlarges to more than half of the disc diameter vessels appear to plunge over edge of cup the vessels are displaced nasally. decreased vision or visual field defects in late stages of glaucoma |
excessive cup disc ratio |
|
happens when vein is occluded it dilates distal to crossing has disc edema and hard exudates in a macular star pattern that occur with acutely elevated hypertension |
arteriovenous crossing (nicking) |
|
this is a generalized decrease in arteriole diameter the light reflex also narrows it occurs with sever hypertension and with occlusion of the central retinal artery and retinitis pigmentosa |
arrowed (attenuated) arteries |
|
are round punctate red dots that are localized dilations of a small vessel their edges are smooth and discrete the vessel itself is too small to view with the ophthalmosocope only the isolated red dots are seen their occurs with diabetes |
microaneurysms |
|
dot shaped hemorrhages are deep intraretinal hemorrhages that look splattered on they may be distinguished from microaneurysms by the blurred irregular edges flame shaped hemorrhages are superficial retinal hemorrhages that look linear and spindle shaped. occur with hypertension |
intraretinal hemorrhages |
|
are arteriolar micronifarctions that envelop and obscure the vessels. they occur wth diabetes hypertension subacute bacterial endocarditis lupus and papilledema of any cause are normally soft cotton wool |
