EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
OD - Answer-Ocular Dexter (Right Eye)
OS - Answer-Ocular Sinister (Left Eye)
OU - Answer-Oculus Uterque (Bilateral Eyes)
HVF - Answer-Humphrey Visual Field
- gold standard test used to measure peripheral vision
IVFA - Answer-Intravenous Fluorescein Angiography
- used to assess vessels in and behind the retina
Cats - Answer-Cataracts
- clouding that develops in the crystalline lens of eye
POAG - Answer-Primary Open Angle Glaucoma
- chronic and progressive optic nerve damage from multiple possible causes resulting in
loss of optic nerve fibers
DM w/o ret - Answer-Diabetes Mellitus Without Retinopathy
- no bleeding in the retina
BDR - Answer-Background Diabetic Retinopathy
- formation of new smaller vessels around retina likely to bleed, but doesn't require laser
repair
PDR - Answer-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy
- persistent vessel formation causing bleeding in retina that requires laser repair
CSME - Answer-Clinically Significant Macular Edema
- leakage of fluids into the center of retina resulting from PDR
RE - Answer-Refractive Error
, - general term that encompasses myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism
Myopia - Answer-- nearsighted
Hyperopia - Answer-- farsighted
Astigmatism - Answer-- abnormal (oval) curvature of the cornea
causing uneven focus of light onto the retina, requiring MRx
Presbyopia - Answer-- impaired ability for close vision owing to age related rigidity of
lens (need reading glasses)
Amblyopia - Answer-- asymmetric gaze
- Aka: lazy eye
Strabismus - Answer-- eyes do not line up to look at the same object simultaneously
Conjunctivitis - Answer-- viral infection to the conjunctiva/cornea
- Aka: pink eye
- Can't be treated with Abx
EKC - Answer-Epidemic Kerato Conjunctivitis
- severe viral infection of conjunctiva and cornea with calcium deposits
HSK - Answer-Herpes Simplex Keratitis
- common herpes viral infection of cornea
- requires Tx c specific antiviral to preserve vision
OCT - Answer-Optical Coherence Tomography
- Retinal imaging device
NS - Answer-Nuclear Sclerosis
-
PPC - Answer-Posterior Polar Cataract
PSC - Answer-Posterior Subcapsular Cataracts
-
