Term
PSNS releases ACh =
Definition
activates m3 = contaction of circular mm = miosis

also activates m3 on ciliary mm = contraction
Term
SNS releases NA =
Definition
activate alpha 1 R = contraction of radial mms = mydriasis
Term
innervation of ciliary mm is dominated by...
Definition
PSNS
Term
need activation of m3 in ciliary mm, to contract ciliary mm and get fat bulging lens in...
Definition
...near accomodation
Term
pupil accomodation reflex =
Definition
as ciliary mm contracts, the pupil constricts (miosis) due to stim of PSNS activating m3 R on curcular mm and ciliary mm.

miosis as an object comes close to the eye
Term
if pupil narrows do you automatically get ciliary contraction?
Definition
NO!
Term
pupil light reflex =
Definition
decr pupil size in response to light
Term
what innervation is dominant in ciliary body?
Definition
SNS
Term
what is the dominant post synaptic R in the ciliary body?
Definition
Beta 1 R
Term
SNS releases NA and activates beta 1 R in ciliary bosy =
Definition
production of aqueous humour

(get basal production of aq humour due to symp tone)
Term
SNS releases NA and activates alpha 2 R in ciliary bosy =
Definition
decr aq humour production
Term
SNS releases NA and activate alpha 1 on bv =
Definition
vasoconstriction = derc BF = decr production of aq humour
Term
incr carbonic anhydrase =
Definition
incr HCO3- = incr arte of aq humour production
Term
mydriactics action =
Definition
induce mydriasis
Term
admin of mydriatics =
Definition
topical
Term
mydriatics used to...
Definition
...aid ocular exam
...prevent synechiae (adhesion of iris to another part of the eye)
Term
name 2 mydriatic drugs
Definition
muscarinic R antagonists

alpha 1 R agonists or NA displacing agent
Term
name 3 muscarinic antagonists
Definition
atropine
cyclopentolate
tropicamide

(in order of most to leats potent)
Term
muscarinic antagonists side effect =
Definition
cycloplegic effects = loss of accomodation :(
Term
why isnt atropine used clinically as a mydriatic?
Definition
due to its hits duration of action (160-240hrs)
Term
alpha 1 R agonists effect on dogs and cats =
Definition
mydriasis in dogs

no effect on healthy cat eye
Term
advantage of alpha 1 agonist over muscarinic antagonists (which are more effective) =
Definition
no effect on accomodation :)
Term
alpha 1 R agonists clinical use =
Definition
tx horners syndrome in dogs and cats
Term
horners syndrome =
Definition
disruption of SNS input and PSNS domination

droopy eye
miosis
prominant thrid eyelid
Term
name a NA displacer
Definition
hydroxyamfetamine
Term
glaucoma =
Definition
impairement of drainage of aq humour = high intraocular press
Term
name 4 drugs used to tx glaucoma
Definition
1. miotics
2. CA inhibitors
3. beta blockers
4. osmotic agents (for emrgencies)
Term
miotics mech =
Definition
direct muscarinic agonists = activate m3 = activate contraction of circular mms = miosis = incr drainage of aq humour
Term
side effect with miotics =
Definition
loss of accomodation as activates m3R on ciliary mm
Term
name 2 miotic drugs
Definition
pilocarpine
carbachol (longer lasting)
Term
miotics are contraindicated...
Definition
...if got anterior uveitis or anterior lens luxation (as these both block drainage)
Term
CA inhibitors mech =
Definition
inhibit production of aqueous humour
Term
name 2 CA inhibitors
Definition
acetazolamide
dichlorphenamide
Term
admin of acetazolamide =
Definition
oral
IV in emergencies (problem = more side effects as decr HCO3- throughout the body)
Term
acetazolamide onset =
Definition
1hr
Term
actazolamides duration =
Definition
up to 8hrs
Term
dichlorphenamide admin =
Definition
oral
NEVER IV
Term
what other effect does dichlorphenamide have?
Definition
diuretic
Term
beta blockers mech =
Definition
inhibit beta 1 R = inhibit aq humour priduction
Term
beta blockers admin =
Definition
eye drops
Term
name 4 beta blockers
Definition
timolol
betaxolol
carteolol
metipranolol
Term
emergency tx of glaucoma if...
Definition
...pupil block (pupil not responding to drugs due to anterior or posterior synechiae-lens displacement)
Term
for emergency tx of glaucoma use ...
Definition
...hyperosmotic agents - glycerol (oral) or mannitol (IV)
often with acetazolamine (CA inhibitor) - IV
Term
keratoconjunctivitis sicca =
Definition
keratinised (opaque), inflammed and dry cornea
Term
keratoconjunctivitis sicca =
Definition
keratinised (opaque), inflammed and dry cornea
Term
keratoconjunctivitis sicca is common in...
Definition
...dogs
Term
keratoconjunctivitis sicca is characterised by...
Definition
...thick yellow dicharge and usually effects both eyes
Term
causes of keratoconjunctivitis sicca =
Definition
tear deficiency = persistant conjunctivitis and corneal ulceration and scarring due to no lubrication
Term
tx of keratoconjunctivitis sicca =
Definition
1. improve/replace tear secretions
2. surgery (transplant salivary duct from mouth to eye) - last resort
3. topical corticosteroids to supress inflam
4. topical antibacterials (in case of secondary infections)
Term
can improve tear sceretion with what drugs?
Definition
cyclosporin (immunosupressant) pilocarpine (miotic drug =muscarinc R agonist)
Term
cyclosporin admin =
Definition
topical
Term
with cyclosporin tx see improvement within...
Definition
...10days, but sometimes can take up to 6wks!
Term
mech of cyclosporin =
Definition
retards immune mediated destruction of tear glands
controls pigmentary keartitis
Term
pilocarpine admin
Definition
oral
Term
pilocarpine mech =
Definition
muscarinic R agonist = stim tear production from lachrimal glands if any function left!
Term
pilocarpine is only effective if...
Definition
...sufficient tear tissue is left and there are sufficient m3 Rs to be activated
Term
replacement of tear seceretion involves the use of...
Definition
...eye drops containing either
hypromellose
liquid paraffin
polyvinyl alcohol
