13-20 % of population pocess extra blood supply to the eye what is it called and what
area does it supply? - Answers>>short posterior ciliary arteries branch distally from the
ophthalmic
artery and supply the choroid.

30% of the population, branch from the short posterior
ciliary artery. These arteries supply the macula in addition to the
choroidal circulation

Appearance of dendritic ulcer on opthalmoscopy? - Answers>>- infectious epithelial
keratitis (with characteristic dendritic ulcers)
-neurotrophic keratopathy
-stromal keratitis endotheliitis (classified as disciform, diffuse, or linear)
,Benfits of cataract surgery - Answers>>mproved visual acuity. 85-90% of people will
have
6/12 best corrected vision
(This meets the driving requirements in the UK).
However, reading glasses are
usually needed after cataract surgery, and some people may require glasses for
distance vision who did not previously require them
-Improved clarity of vision
- Improved colour vision.

palsy. Chronic, insidious progressive facial nerve palsy may indicate a mass lesion.

between Clivus & briain stem

•Spontaneous
Sickle cell anaemia

-Injuries to the cornea, such as infection that scars the cornea
keratoconus & kertoglobus - causes bulgin, thinner and shape change.
Some conditions of the eyelid
others that affect cornea or lense
Causes of Hypopyon - Answers>>release of toxins and not by the actual invasion of
pathogens. The toxins secreted by the pathogens mediate the outpouring of leukocytes
that settle in the anterior chamber of the eye
Causes of PACG - Answers>>Pupil block is considered to be a key element in its
pathogenesis.
•PAC and PACG are different things
-PAC is generally bilateral.
(≥180 degrees ITC = Elevated IOP and/or Peripheral Anterior Synechiae >
Leading to Optic Nerve damage (PACG)
,Causes of Posterior vitrous detachment? - Answers>>Synchysis of the vitreous humour,
leading to a break in the Cortical vitreous -causing vitreal fluid to flow through
Causes of sudden occular pain? - Answers>>Migraine
Optic neuropathy
Uveitis
Corneal pain
Accompanying symptoms are usually decreased visual acuity and reduced colour
vision, and the pain typically is worse with eye movements.
•
Eye pain that may be caused by optic europathy requires immediate attention by an
ophthalmologist and a neurologist

charectoristic of senile cataracts? - Answers>>-decreased visual acuity
-glare
-Myopia or myopic shift
- monocular diplopia - abnormal curvature of corneal surface , created double vision in 1
eye!
clinical fature of retinal vein occlusion? - Answers>>With time retinal heamorrhage may
decreae of resolve:
- macular oedema often chronic
-epiretinal membrane may form
-optocilliar shunt vessels
neovascularisation of disc,etc may results in vitreous hemorhage or tractional retinal
detachment
clinical manifestation of branch retinal artery occlusion ?
and what is seen on PEx - Answers>>monocular vision loss (restircted to part of visual
feild)
<50% with BRAO have imparrire Visual aquity
sectorial patten o retinal opacification
retinal emboli and more frequently seen
Clinical manifestations of Of central retinal artery occlusion?
and whaat is seen on PEx? - Answers>>acute vision loss (painless)
- Visuall aquity of hand motion may be normal
, - cheery red macular a pale surroundings
CLinical signs of Retinal detachment? - Answers>>RAPD ( if extensive)
Haemorrhage in vitreus - tobacco dust
Reduced VA
Cells/ flare in anterior chamber

neuropathy (e.g. temporal arteritis or atherosclerosis)
