meds, or narcotics
Myadriasis - Answer Failure of the pupil to constrict and is usually more than 6 mm in
diameter. Usually seen in coma, or from some eye drops
Arcus Senilis is what? - Answer Lipid deposits in the periphery of the cornea, may
complete a circle. If present before the age of 40, may represent a lipid disorger
Anisocoria is ? - Answer Unequal pupil size
To inspect the pupil, you need to perform - Answer direct and consensual light
response, cover and uncover test,
Lacrimal Apparatus palpation - Answer Palpate the lower orbital rim near the inner
canthus. May be firm and indicates tumors, lymphoid infiltrations, Sjogren syndrome.
