Ophthalmology Alt 2 Questions And
Correct Answers
Indirect - device worn on head for retinal examination
Tonopen - used to check pressure of the eye, blue pen shaped instrument
Applanator Tip - on slit lamp, used to take pressure of eye and more
accurate than tonopen
used mainly with glaucoma patients
Pneumotonometer - take pressure of eye also more accurate than tonopen.
Pachymeter - measures the thickness of the cornea used to diagnose
glaucoma
Gonioscope - get it form the back office, checks angles in glaucoma
patients
APD - afferent pupillary defect
AMD - age related macular degeneration
B-Scan - ultrasound of back of eye when the view of eye is blocked due to
blood or cataract etc.
BAT - brightness acuity test
CBB - ciliary body band
Where is the CBB found? - angle between iris and cornea can only be seen
with gonioscope
CC - with correction
, CEIOL - cataract extraction with intraocular lens
CHRPE - cogenital hypertrophy of the RPE
CRAO - central retinal artery occlusion
CRVO - central retinal vein occlusion
CSC - cortical sclerotic cataract
CSME - clinically significant macular edema
CSR - central serous retinopathy
stress-related accumulation of fluid under macula
CWS - cotton wool spots
DBH - Dot blot hemorrhage
DD - disc diameter (when describing nevus/melanoma)
DFE - dilated fundus exam
D-folds - descemet's folds
ERG - electroretinogram
ERM - epiretinal membrane
FA - Fluorescein Angiography
used to image the retinal vasculature
FP - fundus photos
photos of retina and optic nerve
