This syndrome occurs from the following:
1.) Mechanical abnormalities that interfere with the spread or maintenance of
Dry Eye tears over the eyeball surface.
2.)Lacrimal gland malfunction
3.)Mucin deficiency
It is often a case of paradoxical tearing, that is, a response to dry eyes.
Excessive tearing
- Common complaint in elderly & those with allergies.
Is a non-uniform redness of the conjunctiva from hyperemia, which can be diffuse,
Red eye localized, or peripheral, or may encircle a clear cornea.
- Most common condition is viral conjunctivitis (pink eye).
- The visualization of ___ is usually due to contraction of the vitreous humor, which is a
Floaters common sequel of the aging process (degenerative vitreous changes, or syneresis).
- This may also result from tear-film debris or from material in he vitreous.
- Are usually unilateral & are often seen when looking at a bright background.
- When they appear gradually & become less noticeable over time are
Floaters
usually benign & require NO treatment.
- Whey they appear suddenly, especially if bilat., may warrant further evaluation.
- Is the subjective sensation of sparks or flashes of lights induced by mechanical
Photopsia..aka "flashing lights" or electrical retinal stimulation.
- Needs to be evaluated immediately for retinal tear or detachment!!!
