Term
Imprint deposition of melanocytes from pupillary border of the iris due to contusion
Definition
Vossius Ring
Term
3 things that may cause Capsular Pigment Dusting
Definition

Pigment dispersion syndrome

Pseudoexfoliation

Ocular trauma

Term
Embryonic remnant of hyaloid membrane on posterior lens surface
Definition
Mittendorf's Dot
Term
Most common senile cataract
Definition
Nuclear
Term
Cortical cataracts have a propensity for which part of the lens
Definition
Inferior nasal area (possibly due to UV direction)
Term
Which type of cataract is most debilitating relative to size?
Definition
Subcapsular cataracts
Term
Name 4 possible causes for Anterior Subcapsular Cataract
Definition

high IOP

Wilson's disease

Miotic therapy

Amiodarone 

Term
Most common pre-senile cause of posterior subcapsular cataracts
Definition
Steroids
Term

Myotonic dystrophy

Congenital hereditary retinal disease (like RP)

Irradiation

Persistent hyaloid remnants

Which kind of cataract may these cause?

Definition
PSC
Term
Congenital, Y-shaped opacities within the lens nucleus
Definition
Sutural Cataract
Term
What is blue light test and what is it used to grade?
Definition

used to grade nuclear sclerosis

45 degree optic section, with cobalt blue filter and max illumination

Density of cataract is graded on depth of beam penetration

Term

Term
4 Classifications of Cataract Maturity
Definition

Immature (Mild)

Moderate

Mature

Hypermature

Term
Describe a "mature" cataract
Definition

cortex if totally opaque

deemed surgical 

posterior pole views are difficult

Term
Define a hypermature cataract with totaly liquifaction of the cortex
Definition
Morgagnian Cataract
Term

Briefly describe how a Morgagnian cataract can lead to a

certain type of glaucoma
