They Eye
orbit | encases the eye, aka orbital margin or periorbital region. encases muscle attachment |
snellen Chart | eye vision chart 20(distance)/20 (smallest line seen) |
myopia | nearsightedness,pointy eyeball, rays focus in front of the retina |
hyperopia | farsightedness, big round eyeball, rays focus behind the retina |
hard objects | larger than orbit, transmit force to the eye's surrounding bony regions. can cause swelling and lacerations of the eyebrow |
elastic objects | small, transmit force to the globe(eyeball) |
orbital hematoma | "black eye" rupture of superficial blood vessels surrounding the orbit |
stye | bacterial infection of a sebaceous gland |
hyphema | blood between anterior chamber between the cornea and pupil. ruptured vessels that supply blood to the iris |
subconjuctival Hematoma | leakage of blood from superficial blood vessels |
anisocoria | unequal pupils, either congenital or secondary to brain trauma |
"tear drop" pupil | sign of corneal laceration or ruptured globe |
P.E.A.R.L | Pupils Equal And Responsive to Light |
diplopia | Double vision |
presbyopia | loss of near vision due to secondary againg |
eye motility | range of motion of the eye testing |
weakest point of the orbit | the floor, due to blunt force trauma, will have an inferior displacement of the eye |
corneal abrasion | definitive diagnosis requires flourecien strips and cobalt blue light |
Iritis | swelling, involved pupil may be constricted, photo-phobia, sluggish pupillary response to light |
detached retina | interruption of signal b/w retina and choroid, cause: jarring of head or sneezing. surgical repair. signs/symptoms: flash of lights, curtain vision, halos around objects, blind spots. |
conjunctivitis: Viral | pink eye, clear discharge, starts off in one eye and then to the next |
Conjunctivitis: Bacterial | yellowing greenish discharge in one eye only |
opthalmologist | specialized in injury and disease and abnormalities of the eye |
ruptured globe | most severe injury, signs: black dots on sclera, partial/total loss of vision, hyphema, patch both eyes and go |
