Eye
The three less toxic ophthalmic preservatives
Polyquad, Sodium Chlorite, Sodium perborate
S&S of this ear condition include small amounts of odorless secretion, mild discomfort, pruritus, and erythema.
Mild otitis externa
The endogenous cholinergic agonist.
Acetylcholine
This type of glaucoma is asymptomatic until severe disease, where blind spots and blindness develop.
Open-Angle glaucoma
Formulations with this preservative may only be used up to 4-6 times a day.
Benzalkonium chloride
Earwax (cerumen) is moved out of the ear canal via these 3 methods/features.
Cilia, Talking, Chewing
Glaucoma where the outflow tract is anatomically open, increased IOP is one factor in development, and the exact cause is unknown.
Open-Angle Glaucoma
The ideal optical lubricant.
Preservative free, contains potassium/bicarbonate/other electrolytes and has a polymetric system that increases retention time, neutral or slightly alkaline pH, lower osmolarity.
These 2 immunomodulators reduce inflammation and have impacts on tear osmolarity. They are preservative free, dosed BID, and are reserved for severe disease.
Cyclosporine & Lifitegrast
Earwax is made up of these components.
Secretions from ceruminous and sebaceous glands, squamous epithelium, sweat and foreign substances.
This alpha 2 adrenergic agonist is 1000 fold more selective for alpha 2 receptors than clonidine or apraclonidine
Brimonidine
The three types of Microtia
Type 1 (smaller with normal appearance), Type 2 (most elements of the ear are abnormal), and Type 3 (few ear remnants)
Ophthalmic Dilators and cycloplegics such as Cyclopentolate, Phenylephrine, and Tropicamide work for this purpose.
Decreasing ciliary muscle spasms and keeping the iris off the implant fillowing ocular surgery.
The 4 main nonpharmacologic treatment options for impacted earwax.
Observation, clean the ears with a washcloth, manual removal by trained HCP, syringe with water.
Glaucoma where the outflow tract is anatomically obstructed. There is a mechanical blockage of the trabecular meshwork which occurs intermittently. It may occur as a medical emergency.
Closed-Angle Glaucoma
This condition is characterized by abnormal blood vessels growing under the retina, causing a leakage of blood and fluid, and scarring of the macula. It is not common and is very serious.
Wet (Neovascular or Exudative) macular degeneration
These are the 6 components of AREDS2 supplements
Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Copper, Zinc, Lutein, Zeaxanthin
The 10 causes of conductive hearing loss
Cerumen, Otitis media with effusion, Acute otitis media, tympanic membrane perforation, otosclerosis, otitis externa, ear canal mass/middle ear mass, tympanosclerosis, cholesteatoma.
Angle closure where the iris adheres to the trabecular meshwork
Creeping
The 5 causes of sensorineural hearing loss
Ototoxicity, Sudden idiopathic hearing loss, autoimmune hearing loss, meieres disease, vestibular schwannoma infections (meningitis, viral labyrinthitis)
