what do you need to make sure you check when someone has a eyelid laceration, why
Definition
if it is full or partial thickness, if you dont bring it together right it can cause chronic tearing
Term
where does tear drainage occur

explain the path through the lacrimal apparatus (3)

Definition
chronic epiphora
Term
what is the most common injury to the eye
Definition
corneal abrasion
Term
why are corneal injuries so painful
Definition
there are many corneal nerves
Term
why dont we patch corneal injuries
Definition
because if it is a organic substance in the eye it increases the risk of fungal infection
Term
what type of corneal injury is the most scary, why
Definition
metal injury: occult ocular penetration and perforation
Term
what is in the anterior chamber
Definition
aqueous humor
Term
where does a penetrating injury enter, how can you test for one, why are they a concern
Definition
anterior chamber
seidel test
the penetrating wound can self heal
Term
how do you do the seidel test
Definition
apply tetracaine to florescein strip
apply tetracaine to the eye
paint area affected at slit lamp with moist strip
observe any stream of orange to green turning aqueous
may need to apply gentile pressure
Term
how can you check for trauma to the iris or ciliary body (4)
Definition
see if pupil is round, hypohema, iritis, iris sphincter tears at the slit lamp
Term
what can a misshapen pupil indicate
Definition
iris prolapse due to ruptured globe or ocular contusion causing temporairly paralysis (self correcting)
Term
what is the most common cause of lens subluxation, why does it damage it
Definition
trauma that damages zonules
Term
what are 4 causes of lens subluxation
Definition
marfans syndrome, homocystinuria, weill marchesani
Term
what can trauma do to the vitreous humor
Definition
vitreous hemorrhage, posteror vitreous detachment
Term
what can blunt trauma do to the retina (3)
Definition
cause detachment, edema, commotio retinae (whitening)
Term
what do you do if you suspect a intraocular foreign body
Definition
get a X-ray or CT scan of orbits
Term
what is contraindicated in acute ocular trauma
Definition
MRI
Term
what needs to be included in a history for eye trauma
Definition
who, what, where, when?
if chemical: name, type, acid or alkaline
Term
what do you do if someone has a metal on metal injury
Definition
refer for dilated fundus exam
Term
what do you do on the external exam for ocular trauma
Definition
palpate superior and inferior orbital rims for step off

determine integrity of eyelids, look for lacerations
Term
what can step off of the orbital rim indicate
Definition
orbital roof or flood fracture
Term
what areas are we most concerned about for eyelid lacerations
Definition
margin or medial canthus
Term
what should you never do if you suspect a ruptured globe
Definition
press on eye lids
Term
for trauma: after physical exam what do you do
Definition
visual acuity/double vision
pupil exam
ocular motility
slit lamp exam
radiological studies
Term
what does restriction in the up gaze indicate
Definition
orbital blow out fracture / floor fracture
Term
what do you assess on the slit lamp exam after trauma (8)
Definition
integrity of cornea, iris, lens
hyphema
foreign body
abbrasions
penetration sites
fundus - direct opthalamascope
Term
what radiographs do you order for facial trauma or fracture
Definition
CT of face and orbits with axial and coronal views
Term
what radiographs do you order if you think there is intra-ocular foreign body
Definition
x-ray or CT on orbits within 1-2mm cut resolution
Term
what do you do if someone comes in with a chemical burn (2)
Definition
determine if acid or alkali

irrigate with 1-2L saline until natural pH on litmus paper
Term
what kind of chemical burn is worse, why
Definition
alkaline: sponification of fat and quick absorption into the eye
Term
how can you quickly determine the severity of a chemical burn
Definition
red is good, white eye is bad
Term
what is the main concern with retrobulbar hematoma
Definition
control IOP. if there is elevated IOP and pupillary defect perform lateral canthotomy and cantholysis. repair a week later,

Definition
acceleration/deceleration injury

decrease vision with compression of the optic nerve
Term
how do you treat teaumatic optic neuropathy
Definition
methylprednisolone
Term
if you suspect a penetrating injury what test do you get
Definition
CT scan and refer
Term
if you suspect a foreign body in the eye what do you do
Definition
evert and inspect upper lid especially in vertiacal abrasion of cornea
Term
what must you see if it is involved in eyelid laceration (2)
Definition
margin or canaliculi
Term
what do you stain with before you use a slit lamp to look for corneal abrasion
Definition
flourisine
Term
what is a recourrant corneal erosion
Definition
linear abrasion heals but not tight enough so will open months or years later
Term
what happens to a foreign body in the cornea
Definition
begins to oxidate and form rust ring, may congeal into the cornea
Term
what is the most important things to think about during a hyphema
Definition
pressure and rebleed within first few days (put on bed rest) which can lead to traumatic cataract, traumatic glaucoma, or traumatic retinal detachment
Term
what is the cause of a traumatic iridodialysis
Definition
previous blunt injury that tore the iris root away
Term
why do you have to wait until to fix orbital floor blow out
Definition
wait until edema is resolved
Term
what is the cause of a peaked pupil, why
Definition
things go path of least resistance. Natural response to laceration in cornea is to plug the wound. Loss of pressure causes iris to plug the wound and keep the eye from loosing its contents
Term
how can a pointed pupil help you during exam
Definition
if the eye is too bloody or clouded it can point to area of concern
Term
what are the two weakest points of the eye
Definition
is lindus and posterior to the insertion of the extraocular muscles, this is usually where a globe will rupture
Term
why is cavernous sinus syndrome so scary
Definition
life and sight threatning emergency
Term
what causes cavernous sinus thrombosis (3)

what is the treatment for cavernous sinus thrombosis
Definition
IV antibiotics
Term
what travels through the cavernous sinus (6)
