100

Uses ultrasonic energy to fragment the hard lens material, which then can be aspirated from the eye.

Phacoemulsifier

100

These three orbital bones combine to form both orbits:

The frontal, ethmoid and sphenoid

100

This is a thin, circular-shaped, contractile curtain suspended in the aqueous humor posterior to the cornea and anterior to the crystalline lens. It is perforated at the center by a circular aperture called the pupil.  It comes in different colors.

Iris

100

This is an inflammatory, benign growth that originates in a sebaceous gland of the eyelid:

Chalazion

100

This medicine is used to dilate the pupil for examination of the retina, to prepare the eye for ophthalmoscopy, and to optimize removal of a diseased len

Mydriactics

200

What is taking place?

Enucleation

200

This cranial nerve, both in name and number is for sight:

Cranial nerve II - Optic

200

Each retina contains about 6 million of these and about 120 million of those:

Cones and Rods

200

This is an abnormal inversion of the lower eyelid.  This causes the eyelashes to rub against the cornea, resulting in irritation, pain, and chronic tears.  The most common cause is the weakness and imbalance of the eyelid muscles, due to either age or trauma:

Entropion

200

These are pupil-constricting agents that act on the sphincter of the iris, and include pilocarpine hydrochloride (Isopto Carpine) and carbachol (Carbacel).

Miotics

300

Dermatochalasis is corrected with this procedure:

Blepharoplasty

300

This is the mucous membrane covering the eye.

Conjunctiva

300

The anterior chamber contains this fluid:

Aqueous humor

300

This is true drooping of the upper lid due to weakness of the levator muscle.

Ptosis repair

300

This is the standard, approved eye prep antiseptic:

Diluted povidone iodine

400

What just happened?

Exenteration

400

This is opaque, forming the posterior five-sixths of the globe.

Sclera

400

This is what's replaced in cataract surgery:

The lens

400

This is is a benign growth of conjunctival tissue over the corneal surface:

Pterygium

400

Mydriatic drugs include:

Phenylephrine (Neo-Synephrine, Mydfrin)

500

This is a complex process in which the lens continually changes shape to keep the image focused on the fovea:  

Refraction

500

These are the six muscles of the eye:

Superior rectus, inferior rectus, lateral rectus, medial rectus, superior oblique and inferior oblique.

500

The posterior chamber of the eye contains this fluid:

Vitreous humor

500

The technical name for this surgery:

Keratoplasty (corneal transplant)

500

Topical anesthetics include these two:

Tetracaine hydrochloride (Pontocaine) and Proparacaine hydrochloride (Ophthaine)

600

This intrinsic eye muscle rotates the eye downward and away from the midline:

Superior oblique

600

This is the transparent part of the external tunic of the eye and forms the anterior sixth of the globe

Cornea

600

This is a thin, dark-brown, highly vascular membrane that makes up the posterior five-sixths of the eye. It is pierced from behind by the optic nerve and is firmly adhered to the sclera. It is thicker behind than in front. The inner surface attaches to the retina and consists mainly of a dense capillary plexus. Along with the ciliary body and the iris, this makes up the middle tunic of the globe.

Choroid

600

In this surgery, a surgeon attaches a piece of silicone or a sponge onto the white of the eye at the spot of a retinal tear:

Scleral Buckling

600

An irrigant used in eye surgery is:

Balanced Salt Solution
