What diagnostic test would be B-Scan ultrasound
performed for Retinal and Vitreous
surgery?
Intracameral Anesthesia Newer method of ophthalmic anesthesia which has
been explored in anterior segment surgery. It
anesthetizes the iris.
General Anesthesia General endotracheal anesthesia is prominent in
certain subspecialties where control of the
intraoperative situation is needed and long in
duration.
Mydriatic Drugs Dilate the pupil but permit the eye to focus
(phenylephrine)
Cycloplegic Drugs Dilate the pupil and also prevents the eye from
focusing (Tropicamide and Cyclopentolate)
Miotic Drugs Drugs that cause the iris sphincter muscle to
contract and constrict (acetylcholine, pilocarpine)
Hyperosmotic Drugs Classified as diuretics, shrink the vitreous body and
reduces intraocular pressure by draining fluid out
of the tissue
Fluorescein Sodium Yellow-green dye and topical stain used for
diagnostic purpose. In both strip and solution
form, it is used to stain the cornea to evaluate any
