Scribe Ophthalmology Slide 1 with complete solution
OD
Ocular Dexter (Right Eye)
OS
Ocular Sinister (Left Eye)
OU
Oculus Uterque (Bilateral Eyes)
HVF
Humphrey Visual Field
- gold standard test used to measure peripheral vision
IVFA
Intravenous Fluorescein Angiography
- used to assess vessels in and behind the retina
Cats
Cataracts
- clouding that develops in the crystalline lens of eye
POAG
Primary Open Angle Glaucoma
- chronic and progressive optic nerve damage from multiple possible causes resulting in
loss of optic nerve fibers
DM w/o ret
Diabetes Mellitus Without Retinopathy
- no bleeding in the retina
BDR
Background Diabetic Retinopathy
- formation of new smaller vessels around retina likely to bleed, but doesn't require laser
repair
PDR
Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy
- persistent vessel formation causing bleeding in retina that requires laser repair
CSME
Clinically Significant Macular Edema
- leakage of fluids into the center of retina resulting from PDR
RE
Refractive Error
- general term that encompasses myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism
, Myopia
- nearsighted
Hyperopia
- farsighted
Astigmatism
- abnormal (oval) curvature of the cornea
causing uneven focus of light onto the retina, requiring MRx
Presbyopia
- impaired ability for close vision owing to age related rigidity of lens (need reading
glasses)
Amblyopia
- asymmetric gaze
- Aka: lazy eye
Strabismus
- eyes do not line up to look at the same object simultaneously
Conjunctivitis
- viral infection to the conjunctiva/cornea
- Aka: pink eye
- Can't be treated with Abx
EKC
Epidemic Kerato Conjunctivitis
- severe viral infection of conjunctiva and cornea with calcium deposits
HSK
Herpes Simplex Keratitis
- common herpes viral infection of cornea
- requires Tx c specific antiviral to preserve vision
OCT
Optical Coherence Tomography
- Retinal imaging device
NS
Nuclear Sclerosis
-
PPC
Posterior Polar Cataract
PSC
Posterior Subcapsular Cataracts
-
ASC
