        Help!  

Question
Answer
OU   Both Eyes  
🗑
OS   Left Eye  
🗑
Myopia   Nearsightedness, a refractory error manifested by blurred distance vision  
🗑
Ptosis   Drooping eyelid  
🗑
Hyperopia   Farsightedness, a refractory error manifested by near vision blurriness  
🗑
Nystagmus   Involuntary oscillation of the eyeball  
🗑
Macular Degeneration   Central vision is affected due to drusen (small yellow spots beneath the retina) affecting central vision loss  
🗑
Glaucoma   Manifested by difficulty adjusting eyes in low light, loss of peripheral vision ,“halo’s” around lights, difficulty focusing, & headache  
🗑
Medication management for Glaucoma   Beta Blockers that decrease aquesous humor production. Timolol  
🗑
Medication management for Glaucoma   Beta Blockers that decrease aquesous humor production. Timolol  
🗑
Pathophysiology of Glaucoma   Increased IntraOcular Pressure  
🗑
Medication management for Glaucoma   Cholinergics (miotics) that cause constriction of pupil. Pilocarpine  
🗑
Medication management for Glaucoma   Cholinergics (miotics) that cause constriction of pupil. Pilocarpine  
🗑
Medication management for Glaucoma   Adrenergic Agonist that reduces production of aquesous humor and increases outflow. Epinephrine  
🗑
Surgical management for Glaucoma   Laser trabeuloplasty: laser burns applied to the tracecular meshwork to open tratrabecular spaces and promote outflow of aqueous humor, decreasing IOP  
🗑
Surgical management for Glaucoma   Trabeculectomy: Surgical removal of part of the trabecular meshwork, thus altering the filtering of aqueous humor via a newly created drainage fistula  
🗑
Cataracts   Lens opacity or cloudiness, blurry vision, decreased visual acuity  
🗑
Post operative Cataract surgery care   Avoid lying on side of the affected eye the night after surgery  
🗑
Diplopia   Double Vision: seeing one object as two  
🗑
Astigmatism   A refractory error caused by irregularity in the curve of the cornea  
🗑
Strabismus   Eye condition where there is deviation from perfect ocular alignment  
🗑
OD   Right eye  
🗑
No moving or lifting objects greater than 15 lbs   Post operative Cataract surgery care  
🗑
Post operative Cataract surgery care   Avoid bending or stooping for an extended period  
🗑
IOL   IntraOcular Lens implant placed after cataract surgery  
🗑
Retinal Detachment   Manifested by a shade or curtain coming across the vision, “bright flashing lights or “floaters”  
🗑
Photoreceptor cells   Rods & Cones located in the sensory layer of the Retina  
🗑
Manifestations of Dry Age related Macular Degeneration (AMD)   Gradual decrease in central vision, missing letters in words  
🗑
Manifestations of Wet AMD   Rapid visual changes in central vision, crooked lines and distortion  
🗑
Conjunctivis   Inflammation of conjunctive characterized by pink/reddened conjunctiva  
🗑
Mydriasis   Pupil dilation  
🗑
Malleus   Largest ossicle (bone) of the middle ear  
🗑
Tympanic membrane   Separates middle ear from the external auditory canal. Pearly gray in color  
🗑
Stapes   Most medial bone of the middle ear  
🗑
Incus   ‘Middle” bone of the middle ear, articulates with the malleus and stapes  
🗑
Conductive hearing loss   An external or middle ear disorder: caused by interrupting of the transmissionof sound via air. Ie. impacted cerumen, otitis media or otosclerosis  
🗑
Otitis Media (AOM)   Acute infection of the middle ear with noted redness and bulging of tympanic memebrane, pain to affected ear & fever  
🗑
Otosclerosis   Fixation of the stapes from abnormal bone growth. Bone conduction becomes greater than air conduction.  
🗑
Sensorineural hearing loss   Loss of hearing caused by damage to the cochlea or vestibulocochlear nerve (bone conduction)  
🗑
Mixed Hearing Loss   A dysfunction of air and bone conduction ( conductive & sensorineural loss)  
🗑
Myringotomy or Tympanotomy   Surgical incision into the tympanic membrane to relieve pressure and drain fluid from the middle ear  
🗑
Tympanoplasty   Surgical repair of the tympanic membrane from tympanic membrane perforation.  
🗑
Vertigo   Condition in which the individual senses themselves or their environment to be moving  
🗑
Manifestations of Tinnitus   Buzzing, roaring or hissing sound in one or both ears

🗑
Ototoxicity   Loss of hearing caused by medication  
🗑
