Moly!
Do we operate on lamellar holes?
No
A patient responds to a steroidal anti-inflammatory drop with elevated iop is considered
Steroid responder
a non-invasive, 2D diagnostic ultrasound used to image the posterior segment of the eye and orbit, particularly when views are blocked by dense cataracts, corneal opacity, or vitreous hemorrhage
Bscan
muscles used to look up
Superior rectus and inferior oblique
What is a normal eye pressure
10-20
Face-down positioning
(posturing) after macular hole repair keeps a gas or air bubble in place against the retina, acting as a splint to seal the hole
Beta blocker, mechanism of action- reduces aqueous humor production
Timolol
a non-invasive imaging test that uses light waves to capture high-resolution, cross-sectional, and 3D images of the retina and its layers.
Oct
Muscles to go cross eyed
medial rectus
vision worse than __________ should be pinholed
20/40
a round or oval break in the retina where a small piece of tissue (the "operculum") is pulled away by the vitreous gel and floats, often causing new floaters
Operculated retinal hole
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors - method of action-used to lower intraocular pressure in glaucoma by reducing aqueous humor production in the ciliary body. By blocking this enzyme, it decreases the formation of bicarbonate ions, subsequently reducing sodium and fluid transport into the eye.
Dorzolamide
What three techniques are used to obtain bscan imaging
axial, longitudinal, and transverse
Muscles to look right
How many points do you need to obtain to have a correct HPI for insurance to re-emburse?
4
a central retinal defect extending through all layers of the macula, causing significant central vision loss, distortion (metamorphopsia), and blurry, wavy, or missing letters
Full thickness macular hole
Prostaglandin-mechanism of action- increase aqueous outflow
Travapost, latanaprost, brimatoprost
Technique for measuring axial length, anterior chamber depth, and lens thickness for cataract surgery, including immersion vs. contact methods.
A scan
Muscles to look left
If a pressure is elevated and patient is in pain you should check angles before dilating because patient can go into __________________
angle closure
a partial-thickness defect in the central retina, caused by vitreofoveal separation or traction that splits the retinal layers while often keeping the outer photoreceptor layer intact
Lamellar hole
Biological and theraputic effect of the drug
Mechanism of action
Layers of the retina depicted on OCT
ILM, RNFL, GCL, IPL, INL, OPL, ONL, ELM, PR, RPE, BM , CC, CS
Muscles to look down
Inferior rectus and superior oblique
What extra information is needed for diabetic patients?
LBS, A1C, ENDO, Type 1 or 2, insulin dependent or not
