Question
Answer
A refractive error causing the light rays entering the eye to be focused irregularly on the retina due to an abnormally shaped cornea.   show
🗑
Inflammation of the eyelid margins stemming from seborrheic, allergic, or bacterial origin   show
🗑
show Blindness  
🗑
The lens in the eye becomes progressively cloudy losing its normal transparency and thus altering the perception of images due to the interference of light transmission to the retina.   show
🗑
show Chalazion  
🗑
show Acute conjunctivitis  
🗑
"Turning out" or eversion of the eyelash margins (especially lower eyelid) from the eyeball leading to exposure of the eyelid and eyeball surface and lining.   show
🗑
"Turning in" of the eyelash margins ( especially the lower margins) resulting in the sensation similar to that of a foreign body in the eye (redness, tearing, burning, and itching).   show
🗑
show Glaucoma  
🗑
show Keratitis  
🗑
A refractive error in which the lens of the eye cannot focus on an image accurately, resulting in impaired distant vision that is blurred due to the light rays being focused in front of the retina because the eyeball is longer than normal.   show
🗑
A refractive error occurring after the age of 40, when the lens of the eye(s) cannot focus on an image accurately due to its decreasing loss of elasticity resulting in a firmer and more opaque lens.   show
🗑
An opening in the retina that allows leakage of vitreous humor.   show
🗑
show Sceritis  
🗑
A defined area in one or both eyes, which has a decreased visual function   show
🗑
An infectious eye disease caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, which is chronic and will lead to blindness without effective treatment.   show
🗑
A slow-growing cystic mass made up of epithelial cell debris and cholesterol found in the middle ear.   show
🗑
Hearing loss caused by the breakdown of the transmission of sound waves though the middle and/or external ear.   show
🗑
show Impacted cerumen  
🗑
show Myopia  
🗑
show Presbyopia  
🗑
An opening in the retina that allows leakage of vitreous humor.   show
🗑
show Sceritis  
🗑
show Scotoma  
🗑
show Trachoma  
🗑
show Cholesteatoma  
🗑
Hearing loss caused by the breakdown of the transmission of sound waves though the middle and/or external ear.   show
🗑
show Impacted cerumen  
🗑
Inflammation of the mastoid process, which is usually an acute expansion of an infection in the middle ear (otitis media).   show
🗑
show Otitis externa  
🗑
A middle ear infection, which predominately affects infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.   show
🗑
A sterile collection of clear fluid in the middle ear   show
🗑
show Otosclerosis  
🗑
Rupture of the tympanic membrane or eardrum   show
🗑
show Blepharoptosis  
🗑
An inability to sharply perceive visual colors   show
🗑
A disruption of the cornea's surface epithelium commonly caused by an eyelash, a small foreign body, contact lenses, or a scratch from a fingernail   show
🗑
Occurs as a consequence on an 8- to 10-year duration of diabetes mellitus in which the capillaries of the retina experience scarring   show
🗑
show Exophthalmia  
🗑
show Hemianopia  
🗑
show Hordeolum (stye)  
🗑
show Hyperopia  
🗑
A bleed into the anterior chamber or the eye resulting as a postoperative complication or from a blunt eye injury.   show
🗑
Inadequate vision at night or in fiant lighting following reduction in the synthesis of rhodopsin, a compound in the rods of the retina that enables the eye to adjust to low-density light.   show
🗑
Vertical, horizontal, rotary, or mixed rhythmic involuntary movements of the eyes caused by use of alcohol or certain drugs, lesions on the brain or inner ear, congenital abnormalities, nerve injury at birth, or abnormal retinal development.   show
🗑
show Ophthalmia neonatorum  
🗑
show Pterygium  
🗑
The partial or complete splitting away of the retina from the pigmented vascular layer called the choroid, allowing the leakage of vitreous humor and thus creating a medical emergency   show
🗑
show Strabismus  
🗑
show Synechia  
🗑
Inflammation of all or part of the middle vascular layer of the eye made up of the iris, the ciliary body, and the choroid.   show
🗑
Hearing loss caused by the inability of nerve stimuli to be delivered to the brain from the inner ear due to damage to the auditory nerve or cochlea   show
🗑
Infection or inflammation of the labyrinth or the inner ear, specifically the three semicircular canals in the inner ear, which are fluid-filled chambers and control balance   show
🗑
show Meniere's disease  
🗑
show Suppurative otitis media  
🗑
