either pushing too hard or deliberate indentation gonioscopy
Your 70-year old patient has a bowed out iris because he has a thicker crystalline lens. You want to eval the inferior angle but your view is limited. How do you look into that angle?

Scleral spur
T/F - The nonpigmented trabecular meshwork is the filtering portion of the angle.
False - the PIGMENTED TM is the filtering portion
What is more posterior, the pigmented or nonpigmented TM?
Pigmented is more Posterior (nonpigmented more anterior)
You see a reddish tinge in Schlemm's Canal after you push really hard on your patient's eye with your goniolens. Within which AC angle structure do you see this reddish tint?
Within the trabecular meshwork (remember the drainage of the aqueous goes thru the TM and into Schlemm's canal)
T/F - TM pigmentation does not occur until puberty.
True
T/F - TM pigmentation decreases with pregnancy.
False - incr w/ pregnancy
T/F - TM pigment increases w/ age.
True
T/F - TM pigment increases with iris colors.
True (whatever this means...just look at pg 4, 1st packet???)
If you see pigment on the iris, SS, and CB, you would grade the pigmentation...
4+
A grade zero TM pigmentation indicates...
granular, fine, gray color
The termination of Descemet's is marked by this AC angle structure.
Schwalbe's line
What AC angle structure marks the anterior limit of the angle wall?
Schwalbe's line
What is Sampaolesi's line? Where in the AC angle is it typically seen?
A wavy line of pigment seen in exfoliation patients, typically in inferior angle
Your patient has an anteriorly displaced Schwalbe's line - what is this and what percent have it?
Posterior embryotoxon, 15%
The Van Herrick angle assesses the ratio of ___ to ___.
Width of peripheral AC to width of cornea
An angle of __:__ warrants gonioscopy in some cases.
