|
Acute glaucoma |
*Ocular emergency: Immense amount of pressure behind the eyes. Due to blocked flow or fluid from anterior chamber. Pupil is oval shaped and dilated. Cornea appears cloudy with corcumcorneal redness. Pain onset is sudden and accompanied by halos around lights and a decrease in vision. *NV and abdominal pain: Occult, facio, Espophago, Vago, Abdominal Nerve Nothing to do with hypertension. Closed angle glaucoma is worse. |
|

|
Pterygium |
Surfers eye Non cancerous growth that develops from conjunctiva and extends to sclera *Collagen breakdown spreads into the cornea |
|
Pingueculae |
Surfers eye Yellowish nodules that are thickened areas of the bulbar conjunctive. Caused by prolonged exposure to the sun wind and dust * Fibrovascular growth in the inner Canthus |
|

Sluggish pupilares response. Usually unilateral but can be lateral. Viral issues |
|
Talking to someone who’s blind: |
Speak directly to their face |
|
Talking to someone who is hearing impaired: |

How to look into Ottis Media |
Look in, pull pinna back, push on tragus.. if pain and erythema might be otitis exterma Expected: should look pearly grey tympanic membrane Infection= purulent fluid |
|
Otitis externa is |
Swimmers ear. Avoid swimming for a week. Pain and erythema on pinna and tragus |
|
Otitis media is normally caused by |
Strep throat because it travels to the middle ear and the membrane now looks errythmatoc. Purulent drainage=infection Clear drainage: basal skull fracture, cerebral skull leakage. |
|
