🗑
show Inflammation of the conjunctivitis. AKA Pink eye.  
🗑
show Double vision and pain with eye movement.  
🗑
Enucleation   show
🗑
show Increased intraocular pressure and gradual loss of vision. It is a silent thief of vision.

🗑
show Does vision testing, prescribes & fits lenses. Not a physician.  
🗑
show Impaired accommodation of the lens caused by aging.  
🗑
Optometrist   show
🗑
show Impaired accommodation of the lens caused by aging. Elasticity is lost.  
🗑
Ptosis   show
🗑
Ptosis   show
🗑
Refraction   show
🗑
show Cross eye. One or both of the eyes may turn in, out, up or down  
🗑
Uveitis   show
🗑
show Measurer the intraocular pressure. Intraocular pressure is measured using a Schiotz tonometer or other tonometry instrument.  
🗑
Snellen Chart   show
🗑
show Measures 2.5 cm (1 inch) and sits in bony structure called the orbit.  
🗑
Eyeball lining   show
🗑
Orbit - Measurement & Surrounding   show
🗑
show Thin elastic skin covering muscles. Protects the anterior portion of the eye. Contains sebaceous, sweat, accessory lacrimal glands. Lid margins contain meibomian glands.  
🗑
show Cranial nerves III, IV, VI innervate the eye muscles.  
🗑
show Blinking washes the cornea & conjunctiva with tears  
🗑
What forms tears?   show
🗑
Conjunctiva   show
🗑
Iris   show
🗑
show Constrict - Circular muscles contract and decrease the size of the pupil.  
🗑
Dim light effect on eye   show
🗑
What controls the constriction & dialation of the pupil?   show
🗑
show Middle layer of eye. Nourishes eye, consists of iris, ciliary body, and thr choroids.  
🗑
show Fovea (center of the macula)  
🗑
show Vision  
🗑

🗑
Photopobia   show
🗑
show White of eye. Gives shape to eyeball.  
🗑
Cornea   show
🗑
show Thin dark membrane that line internal surface of sclera. Absorbs light rays so they are not scattered off the inner layer of the eye.  
🗑
Lens   show
🗑
show Clear, gelatinous substance, composed mostly of water and encapusulated by a hyaloid membrane.  
🗑
Retina   show
🗑
Visual Pathway   show
🗑
show Before light reaches the rods and cones for image formation, it passes through the cornea, aqueous humor, pupil, lens, and vitreous humor. For vision to occur, light reaching the rods and cones must form an image on the retina. This result in nerve impuls  
🗑
show Narrowing diameter, simultaneously occurs with accomodation. Prevents light rays from entering through the periphery of the lens.  
🗑
show Both eyes foucs on a single object. Movement of the two eyeballs toward the nose. Coordinated action of the extrinsic eye muscles.  
🗑
show Images are focused upside down on the retina.  
🗑
Light impulse is converted to...   show
🗑

🗑
Ophthalmoscopy   show
🗑
Slit-lamp examination   show
🗑
show Probe placed agains the eye aims the beam of sound. High frequency sound waves emitted are bounced back from the lesion and displays the sound waves on a special screen. Used to identify orbital tumors, retinal detachment and changes in tissue composition  
🗑
show Used for diagnosis of abnormalities of blood vessels, evaluates macular edema, macular capillary nonperfusion and neovascularization in age related macular degeneration.  
🗑
Gonioscopy   show
🗑

🗑
Helps maintain intraocular pressure (IOP)   show
🗑
