RD
Retinal Detachment
QD, BID, TID, QID
this structure, which forms the inner layer if the back of the eye, converts light to electric impulses that are carried through the optic nerve to the brain through the use of photoreceptors, the center of this structure is also known as the macula
the retina
This dome shaped clear layer of the eye is what contacts lenses cover, injury or infection of this tissue can result in scarring or loss of vision
The cornea
True or false, there are 4 oblique muscles and 2 rectus muscles of the eye
False:
there are 4 rectus (superior, inferior, lateral and medial)
there are 2 oblique muscles (superior and inferior)
AMD/ARMD
Age Related Macular degeneration
Oral dosing abbreviation
PO
While visible from the front of the eye, this constantly constricting and dilating structure, which gives the eye its color, is actually located inside the eye just posterior to the cornea and anterior chamber of the eye
iris
This thin translucent mucous membrane covers the sclera and inner eyelids and when this structure is inflamed we call this "pink eye"
the conjunctiva
The ___ rectus muscle is responsible for eye movement inward towards the nose also known as adduction.
medial rectus
NS/NSC
Nuclear Sclerotic cataract
Esotropia and exotropia abbreviations
ET, XT
This transparent structure located just posterior to the iris loses its flexibility starting in our 40s and eventually becomes cloudy resulting in cataracts
the crystalline lens
These tiny openings on the nasal upper an lower eyelids are where we put plugs to block the tear drainage system of the eye which helps dry eye patients
The blood supply of the retina comes from the central retinal artery which is a branch of the ophthalmic artery which is a branch of the __
internal carotid artery
NLDO
Naso-Lacrimal Duct Obstruction
APD, RAPD

The white layer of the eyeball gives the eye its structure and is covered by a thin layer of conjunctiva called the bulbar conjunctiva
The sclera
This gland is located under your upper eyelid/brow and produces tears, this gland is the target of the medication Restasis
the lacrimal gland
A dense network of veins, located behind the eye, is the main route of blood flow returning to the heart after existing the ophthalmic veins
the cavernous sinus

CF, HM, LP, NLP
The clear jelly-like substance fills the posterior chamber of the eye and liquifies as we age resulting in floaters
vitreous
this structure acts as a landmark for identifying the location of problems of the cornea or conjunctiva it is also where the "white" part of the eye meets the "clear" part of the eye
the limbus
The sling of connective tissue that houses the tendon of the superior oblique muscle is known as the ___, or the "pulley" in latin
Trochlea
