🗑
What is hyphema?   Blood in the anterior chamber.  
🗑
What is hypopyon?   White blood cells in the anterior chamber.  
🗑
What area does the choroid supply?   The outer retina and the foveal area (it is the sole blood supply to the fovea)

What layer of the choroid lies next to the retinal pigment epithelium?   Bruch's Membrane  
🗑
Where do drusen form?   Bruch's Membrane  
🗑
A posterior uveitis involves what?   It is an inflammation that involves the retina and choroid (also called chorioretinitis )  
🗑
Where does retinal detachment occur?   Between the RPE (Retinal Pigment Epithelium) and the neurosensory retina.  
🗑
What is photopic vision and what is needed to accomplish that?   It is daytime vision and cones are needed for photopic vision.  
🗑
There are no rods in the fovea. T or F   True  
🗑
Vitamin A is required for rhodopsin. T or F   True

🗑
There are 8 vortex veins. T or F   False. There are 4-6.  
🗑
What do the vortex veins drain?   The retina and choroid.  
🗑

What is the macula lutea?   It is the central 5.5mm of the retina which contains xenthophyll (yellow pigment)  
🗑
What is the area that includes the optic disc and the macula called?   Papillomacular bundle

🗑
What is a congenital anomaly and is usually located inferior nasal?   Optic nerve (disc) coloboma  
🗑
What is coloboma and what can it affect (7)?   A defect of ocular tissue, due to failure of part of the fetal fissure to close; it may affect the choroid, ciliary body, eyelid, iris, lens, optic nerve, or retina.

🗑
The optic disc is located temporally to the maculae. T or F   False, Nasally  
🗑
The optic disc is located nasal to the maculae, therefore the blind spot will be just the ___________ and located ___________. *When viewing pictures of the retina, you can tell which eye it is by noting the relationship of the optic disc to macula.   Opposite, Temporally  
🗑
