The eye's have it!
Gradual blockage in retinal capillary arteries, which causes the macula to
become ischemic and necrotic > lack of retinal cells.

What is Myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, astigmatism
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a condition where distant objects appear blurry, but close objects are clear. This occurs because
the eyeball is too long, or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. Myopia affects
approximately 30% of the population and typically develops in childhood or adolescence. It is a common condition that can be easily corrected
with eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.
Hyperopia (Farsightedness)
Hyperopia, also known as farsightedness, is a condition where close objects appear blurry, but distant objects are clear. This occurs because
the eyeball is too short, or the cornea is too flat, causing light to focus behind the retina instead of directly on it. Hyperopia affects
approximately 5-10% of the population and can be present from birth or develop later in life. Unlike myopia, many people with hyperopia may
not experience noticeable symptoms because the lens of the eye can adjust its shape to focus on objects at different distances. However,
some people with hyperopia may experience eyestrain, headaches, and blurred vision when looking at close objects for an extended period.
Astigmatism
Astigmatism is a condition where the cornea or lens is not perfectly spherical but instead has a more oblong or oval shape. This causes light to
be focused at multiple points instead of a single point, resulting in blurry or distorted vision at all distances. Astigmatism can be present from
birth or develop later in life and affects approximately 30% of the population. People with astigmatism may experience symptoms such as
blurry vision, eyestrain, headaches, or difficulty seeing at night. Fortunately, astigmatism can be easily corrected with eyeglasses, contact
lenses, or refractive surgery.

How do you administer eye drops?
- Wash your hands and don gloves
-Tilt the patient head back and have the patient lookup
-Lower the bottom lid to expose the conjunction a sac
- Administered above the conjunctive sac
-Apply pressure on the lacrimal sac

Which direction do you pull the pinna for an adult and for children?
If the ear canal curves, pull up and back on the auricle of adults, and down and back on the auricle of children, to straighten out the canal and enhance visualization.
