ACHROMATOPSIA

Back 31

condition of color blindness- unable to perceive one or more colors; more common in males

Front 32

AMBYLOPIA

Back 32

loss of vision not as a result of eye pathology; usually occurs in patients who see two images; in order to see only one image, the brain will no longer recognize the image being sent to it by one of the eyes; may occur if strabismus is not corrected; this condition is not treatable with a prescription lens (lazy eye)

Front 33

ASTIGMATISM

Back 33

light rays are focused unevenly on the retina, which causes a distorted image, due to an abnormal curvature of the cornea

Front 34

BLEPHAROCHALASIS

Back 34

upper eyelid increases in size due to a loss of elasticity, which is followed by swelling & recurrent edema of the lids; the skin may droop over the edges of the eyes when the eyes are open

Front 35

CATARACT

Back 35

damage to the lens causing it to become opaque or cloudy, resulting in diminished vision; treatment is usually surgical removal of cataract

Front 36

CHALAZION

Back 36

small hard tumor or mass, similar to a sebaceous cyst, developing on eyelids; may inquire incision & drainage

Front 37

CORNEAL ABRASION

Back 37

scraping injury to cornea; if it don't heal, it may develop into an ulcer

Front 38

DIABETIC RETINOPATHY

Back 38

small hemorrhages & edema in eye develop in the retina as a result of diabetes mellitus; laser surgery and vitrectomy may be necessary for treatment

Front 39

GLAUCOMA

Back 39

increase in intraocular pressure, which, if untreated, may result in atrophy of the optic nerve & blindness; glaucoma is treated w/ medication & surgery;

there is an increased risk of developing glaucoma in persons over 60 years of age, in people of African ancestry, persons who have sustained a serious eye injury, & in anyone w/ a family history of diabetes or glaucoma

Front 40

HEMIANOPIA

Back 40

loss of vision in half of the visual field; a stroke patient may suffer from this disorder

Front 41

HORDEOLUM

Back 41

refers to a stye, a small purulent inflammatory infection of a sebaceous gland of the eye; treated with hot compresses & surgical incision

Front 42

HYPEROPIA

Back 42

with this condition a person can see things in distance but has trouble reading material at close ranges (farsightedness); corrected with converging or biconvex lenses

Front 43

MACULAR DEGENERATION

Back 43

deterioration of the macular area of the retina of the eye; may be treated with laser surgery to destroy the b.v. beneath the macula

Front 44

MONOCHROMATISM

Back 44

unable to perceive color

Front 45

MYOPIA

Back 45

a person can see things up close but not far away (nearsighted); corrected with diverging or biconcave lenses

Front 46

NYSTAGMUS

Back 46

jerky-appearing involuntary eye movements, usually left & right; often an indication of brain injury

Front 47

PINK EYE

Back 47

common term for conjunctivitis

Front 48

RETINAL DETACHMENT

Back 48

when retina becomes separated from choroid layer; separation seriously damages blood vessels and nerves, resulting in blindness

Front 49

RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA

Back 49

progressive disease of the eye that results in the retina becoming hard & pigmented, & atrophying; no known cure for condition

Front 50

RETINOBLASTOMA

Back 50

a malignant eye tumor that occurs in children, usually under the age of 3; requires enucleation

Front 51

STRABISMUS

Back 51

an eye muscle weakness resulting in the eyes looking in different directions at the same time; may be corrected with glasses, eye exercises, &/or surgery

Front 52

TRACHOMA

Back 52

chronic infectious disease of the conjunctiva & cornea caused by bacteria; occurs more commonly in people living in hot, dry climates; untreated, it may lead to blindness when the scarring invades the cornea; trachoma can be treated with antibiotics
