What is the Glasgow Coma Scale and what does it measure? -
Answer: The GCS measured level of consciousness and is scored
from 3 to 15, with 3 being the worst and 15 being the best. The
score is calculated by adding together the scores from each of the
,three categories: eye opening, motor response, and verbal
response
What are miotics? - Answer: Drug that causes the pupil to
constrict, decreasing IOP
What are mydriatics? - Answer: Drug that cause the pupil to
dilate, increasing IOP
What is presbyopia? - Answer: Presbyopia is a common age-
related disorder that results from the ciliary muscles becoming
less flexible and functional, effecting the patient's ability to see
close up. Usually begins around age 40.
What are cataracts? - Answer: A clouding of the eye's lens that
can lead to vision loss. As the crystalline lens becomes more
dense, light cannot reach the macula where vision is the clearest,
causing eyesight to appear cloudy.
~The exact cause is unknown, but possible causes are: congenital
(present at birth), trauma, disease, steroid use, over-exposure to
UV light
What are the 3 stages of cataracts? - Answer: 1. Immature: Lens
is lightly cloudy and the cortex is mostly clear
, 2. Mature: Lens is entirely cloudy and can be removed easily from
its capsule
3. Hyper mature: The normal lens protein is degraded and
absorbed or escapes, lens is yellow, shrunken, and the capsule is
wrinkled.
TRUE OR FALSE: "The lens can spontaneously dislocate and cause
acute angle-closure glaucoma." - Answer: TRUE
Symptoms of Cataracts - Answer: - Distorted, hazy, or yellow
vision.
- Poor night vision
- Glare is an issue because the light rays are scattered
What is cataract surgery? - Answer: -Procedure to remove the
lens of the eye and, in most cases, replace it with an artificial lens
*Surgery is 95% successful
*Most frequently preformed in people aged 65+
*Usually done in an outpatient setting; eye centers
*Local anesthetic-safe
