| General Senses | pain, temperature, touch/pressure, body position |
| Special Senses | smell, taste, vision, equillibrium/hearing |
| Choroid Layer | contains the blood vessels |

| Corneal Abrasion | scratch or trauma to cornea |
| Corneal Ulcers | acute disease involving the cornea |
| Diabetic Retinopathy | disease of the retina. From juvenile/adult onset diabetes and is the leading cause of acquired blindness |
| Glaucoma | excessive intraocular pressure results in atrophy of optic nerve |
| Hordeolum | (stye) infection of a gland of the eyelid produces an abcess around the eyelid |
| Iritis | inflammation of the iris |
| Ptosis | drooping upper eyelid |
| Retinal Detachment | separation of the retina from the choroid layer |
| Strabismus | eye diviates with the gaze being abnormally inward(cross-eyed), outward(wall-eyed) or higher/lower than the other eye. AKA squint |
| Meniere's Disease | inner ear disorder |
| Otitis Externa | infection of the external auditory canal |
| Otitis Media | infection of the middle ear often associated with respiratory infections |
| Otosclerosis | formation of spongy bone that immobilizes the stapes |
| Motion Sickness | occurs when engaging in activities involving irregular movement |
| Myopia | nearsightedness, rays focus in front of retina, concave glasses |
| Hyperopia | farsightedness, rays focus behind the retina, convex glasses |
| Path of light | Cornea, Anterior aqueous humor, Pupil, Posterior aqueous humor, Lens, Vitreous humor, Retina (CAPPLVR) |
