100
aqueous fills these
What is anterior and posterior chamber
100
covers back of cornea, both sides of iris, front of lens
What is aqueous
100
degrees considered unsafe to dilate
What is under 20
100
caused by over production or not enough drainage of aqueous
What is open angle
100
IOP unit of measurement
mmhg (millimeters of mercury)
200
14-20
What is normal iop
200
a blockage of this may cause glaucoma
What is canal of schlemm
200
this condition where blood pools in the anterior chamber, may increase IOP
What is hyphema
200
3 symptoms of closed angle
What is pain, vomiting, nausea, halos, hazy corneas
200
we must check this prior to dilating
What is anterior angle degree
300
this part of field is affected with glaucoma
What is peripheral
300
as IOP rises, the iris does this
What is pushes forward, blocking canal
300
If we need very little force to indent cornea, the patient has a ___IOP
What is low
300
shows no field damage, no cupping, but has high IOP
What is ocular hypertension
300
IOP abreviation
What is intraocular pressure
400
definition of glaucoma
What is death of the optic nerve
400
the iris turns into this shape when dilated, affecting the aqeous
What is gets shorter and fatter with dilation
400
the way a cornea looks when IOP is too high
What is foggy/hazy
400
nerve damage and field loss but no elevation in IOP
What is low tension glaucoma
400
type of test we are performing when measuring IOP
What is tonometry
500
filters aqueous
What is trabecular meshwork
500
common treatment for closed angle glaucoma
What is laser and cutting of the iris
500
If we fix the underlying cause, this type of glaucoma may not be permanaent
What is secondary glaucoma
500
many medications cause this
What is increased IOP
500
if a disease runs in the family we say it is
What is genetic/hereditary
