Do we operate on lamellar holes?

No

100

A patient responds to a steroidal anti-inflammatory drop with elevated iop is considered

Steroid responder

100

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

100

muscles used to look up 

Superior rectus and inferior oblique

100

What is a normal eye pressure

10-20

200
Recovery positioning after macular hole repair and why do we torture like this? 

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

200

Beta blocker, mechanism of action- reduces aqueous humor production 

Timolol

200

a non-invasive imaging test that uses light waves to capture high-resolution, cross-sectional, and 3D images of the retina and its layers.

Muscles to go cross eyed

medial rectus

200

vision worse than __________ should be pinholed

20/40

300

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

300

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

300

What three techniques are used to obtain bscan imaging 

axial, longitudinal, and transverse

300

Muscles to look right

  • Lateral Rectus (Right Eye): Abducts the right eye (moves it outward toward the right).
  • Medial Rectus (Left Eye): Adducts the left eye (moves it inward toward the nose),
300

How many points do you need to obtain to have a correct HPI for insurance to re-emburse? 

4

400

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

400

Prostaglandin-mechanism of action- increase aqueous outflow

Travapost, latanaprost, brimatoprost

400

Technique for measuring axial length, anterior chamber depth, and lens thickness for cataract surgery, including immersion vs. contact methods.

A scan

400

Muscles to look left 

  • Left Lateral Rectus: Moves the left eye outward (abduction) towards the left temple.
  • Right Medial Rectus: Moves the right eye inward (adduction) towards the nose.

If a pressure is elevated and patient is in pain you should check angles before dilating because patient can go into __________________

angle closure

500

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

500

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
